Today, on June 1, Latvian band \u201cThe Bad Tones\u201d published a new single \u201cSunny Side\u201d from their homecoming EP \u201cBack Together Forever\u201d, which will see the light of day in late June.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The lyrics of the song speak about reflections that for a moment arise when we tend to be just so happy that various everyday obstacles seem insignificant and sometimes it\u2019s even hard to believe in their existence. The message of the song is a wish to get into such moments more often and to find joy in simple everyday things. \u201cWalking on the sunny side of the street, especially towards the sun, literally makes me smile. I narrow my eyelids and for some reason my teeth show and make a little weird smile. I wish having sunglasses would be more convenient for me, because I wear optics already,\u201d Kalvis imaginatively shares his feeling about the single.<\/p>\n

The first sketches for the single were captured during the band\u2019s annual creative camp and was later recorded at the \u201cRed House\u201d studio in Riga, Latvia. Keyboardist Teodors Kerimovs also took part in the recording. The song was produced and mixed by Jaspers Ras and mastered by Rengert Eggink, who are the band’s friends and partners from their study time in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

\u201cSunny Side\u201d is one of the five compositions included in the upcoming EP \u201cBack Together Forever\u201d, which will be out on June 29. \u201cThe EP\u2019s title \u201cBack Together Forever\u201d speaks for itself. We see it as a turning point in the band\u2019s history. Probably not in terms of sound or any other musical expression, but definitely in the dynamics of the band. This is the first recording made while all of us were in one country, one city, one studio. And here it is important to add that we met ten years ago,\u201d tells Edvards.<\/p>\n
