Trophy Eyes Announce New Album “Suicide And Sunshine” & Deliver Track “What Hurts The Most”

A new era of Trophy Eyes in emerging as the Australian rockers announce their new studio album “Suicide And Sunshine” which will be released via Hopeless Records on the 23rd of June. Along with this announcement, the band drop another taste of what’s to come with new track from the forthcoming album titled “What Hurts Most”, launching a punch to the gut with it’s subdued melody, powerful vocals, and vulnerable lyrics.
​​"I moved to Newcastle, Australia in my early 20’s. My best friend and I had made a plan together in pursuit of happiness, and for some reason, to us, it all started there. He’d always struggled between the pressure of conventional life and risking all for the unattainable, and I’d always flourished in chaos. Like it does, time marched on. I joined Trophy Eyes and he dedicated his time to house deposits and long term relationships. Trophy Eyes quickly consumed my life, taking my degree, relationships, friendships, jobs and homes - even the honour of best man. I found less and less time for motivational speeches, and even when I could, it was always met by a void of negativity. I gave up on him. Our friendship soured at the idea of what I’d sacrificed for my dream and how I’d neglected his. During a tour of Europe, he crossed a line back home, and I never saw him again." Vocalist John Floreani shares.

Contrast will be a huge factor in the album, and not just in the title with John Floreani explaining: “It’s the tragedy and the beauty of life. When we did Chemical Miracle, our second full-length, the logo for the album was a palm tree and a noose. That’s literally suicide and sunshine. It’s always been there on my mind. And I think I finally just phonetically set it out. That encompasses everything I’ve been trying to do my entire career.”
