Texas alt-rockers Tough On Fridays knows that something needs to change on ‘Covet’

Posted on 1 April 2022

With their newest album ‘The Encore You Didn’t Ask For’ set for November 2022, Tough On Fridays reimagine a top track that was made famous by the UK act Basement, with a thrilling cover of the 2012-released single ‘Covet‘.

Tough On Fridays is a fast-rising Georgetown, Texas-based gloriously grungy alt-rock band who have just returned from their prestigious slot at SXSW in Austin, Texas.

As one of the most exhilarating bands to emerge from the USA in recent years that have been waiting for their shot to show their ever-increasing brilliance to the masses, Tough On Fridays rocks out as the greats do with a splendid cover that has been made with their own signature style attached to awesomely delicious effect.

‘Covet‘ from the Georgetown, Texas-based rock band Tough On Fridays, is a simply ravishing exertion and you can see why they have been chosen to support the legends Everclear in May. With a track all about wishing that you weren’t with this person who makes your blood boil – as you feel like something is off –  you will feel like you have just witnessed a demanding dream that has to change real quick, for your priceless soul to be free as a frolicking bird again.

Georgetown grunge trio Tough on Fridays released their most relatable single yet with Cabin Fever.

Posted on 5 May 2021

Georgetown grunge trio Tough on Fridays has been on our radar since we heard their unforgettable 2018 single, ‘The Waywards’. With their latest single, Cabin Fever, their pop-punk edge has been stripped-back and replaced by doom-laden tones that will win over any fans of Porcupine Tree.

The gloomy, progressive anthem, complete with a thrashing rhythm section and angular cutting guitar notes that bring Shoegaze nuances into the mix, is a raw admission of the frustration experienced while locked away from normality.

What makes Cabin Fever so intense and cathartic is the realism of the angst. It was delivered in the same despondent way we’ve all been feeling over the past year.

Cabin Fever officially released on May 3rd; you can check it out for yourselves by visiting Tough on Fridays’ website.

Texan Alt Rock newcomers Tough on Fridays tease the release of their sophomore album “Ways to Kill Time”

Posted on 21 August 2020

Tough on Fridays are set to release their sophomore album on September 4th. Ahead of the highly-anticipated release, we’ve been given a sneak peek of the infectiously catchy single “Pleased to Meet You”.

The Georgetown, TX artist’s Grungy Pop Punk sound may just restore any faith which you’ve lost in this generation’s up and coming artists. With the sharp melodic hooks, euphoric choruses and scathingly visceral vocals it’s safe to say that Pleased to Meet You comes with a fairly vicious Pop Punk bite. No review of Pleased to Meet You would be complete mentioning the captivating nuances of Post Punk which helps draw the dynamic track to a close. The cutting angular solo work even gives Daniel Kessler (Interpol) a run for his money.

Any fans of Dream Wife, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the Airborne Toxic Event and The Regrettes won’t want to miss out on the release of what promises to be one of the hottest album drops of 2020.

A Fantastic Way to Kill Time will be available via all major streaming platforms from September 4th. In the meantime, you can check out their earlier releases via SoundCloud.
