Happy Kreter, a talented singer-songwriter from Vancouver, Canada, is now also a band of the same name. Featuring ex-members of Arista Records punkrockers, Gob, and Revelation Records emo-core heavyweights, By A Thread, Happy Kreter offers an original rendering of those bands’ energy and passion.
Happy Kreter’s songwriting focuses on catchy vocal melodies, intelligent lyrics, and guitar hooks. The songs are an amalgam of thought and emotion, contemplation and ebullition. They are intense explorations of human feeling in all its diversity, severity, and absurdity. The songs, rooted in personal experience, are at once melancholy and hopeful, critical and celebratory, soothing and stirring, all of which translates into an excellent live show, which is fortified by a vigorous, nearly constant touring schedule.
With dedication to song, a love of music and ideas, and the evolution to a full band, Happy Kreter provides an exciting new take on introspective indie-pop songwriting.
