A 1970s New York group whose introspective lyrics and emotional songs like 'Alone and Cold' defined their sound.
For a good sense of their sound, 'Alone and Cold' and 'This Will Hurt' both show that emotional, introspective quality they kept coming back to.
Happy Days formed in New York City during the 1970s with a lineup that included vocalist Emily Hayes and guitarist Mark Stevens. Their debut album 'Yesterday's Promise' came out in 1978, featuring the hit 'Don't Go' with what the band described as soulful melodies and introspective lyrics. Later songs like 'Alone and Cold' continued in that same emotional vein, giving their catalog a consistent feel across their recordings.
The original lineup released their first album in 1978. Stevens and Carter briefly left in the early 1980s before returning for later albums like 'New Beginning' in 1985 and 'Echoes of Love' in 1988. They put out a compilation called 'The Best of Happy Days' in 1992.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
