Happenstance - ‘If I’m Not Mistaken’ (mp3)

We can charge the ’90s for heinous crimes against the pop genre, forever ruining its image. For some. But not for others, like Sydney’s Happenstance, who don’t care whether you like pop or not, because they sure do and aren’t afraid to show it.

But this four piece is far from derivative. Fantastic vocal hooks, smooth, melodic bass lines courtesy of David Grant and subtle attention to detail in ‘If I’m Not Mistaken’ elevates it from being justĀ another bottom-rung, stock-standard pop-rock tune into a fine example of good songwriting. Something bright, anyway, for your Friday!
