I‘ve been a big fan of Sunstroke ever since I first listened to Bloom At Night when it came out in 2019. The music is just right up my alley, very melodic, but it still has this hardcore punch to it. What’s more, they always put in a lot of effort with their artwork and packaging, which is something I really appreciate. It reminds me of later 7 Seconds records like Soulforce Revolution and Praise aesthetics as far as the vibe goes. Love all the stickers, too, and you can never go wrong with a Seinfeld inspired sticker.
Hell of a Year for Daisies came out some time last year, but I only got the record recently, which is how things are with records these days. The only thing I have to criticise is that there are only two songs. I do appreciate bands still releasing 7”, but please put more than two songs on them. Flipping records after just one song is such a drag, and of course I would have loved to listen to more new songs by Sunstroke.
