SUDS - Tell me about your day again. - Bio

SUDS are back with their sophomore album Tell me about your day again., a record conceived out of a time marked by distance and grief. A musical journey that ended up providing a cathartic release, which they hope will offer others a similar peace.

The East Anglian based four-piece, known for their vivid lyricism and warm midwest emo tinged folk, follow 2023’s debut album The Great Overgrowth, with their most confessional work to date. An emotionally raw but confident collection of songs that have all of the great SUDS hallmarks: hope, charm, and a penchant for storytelling all while reflecting on personal challenges and the resilience of their friendship.

“Tell me about your day again. is a record about processing change. Some of these songs were written over a year ago, some a month or so before recording, but together it feels like a very cathartic collection of songs. As friends we have been through a lot over the last 12 months and have used this sophomore record as a way to process, grieve and come together. We hope folks get a sense of not feeling alone when you listen to it.” says drummer Jack Ames.

Recorded with longtime producer Ian Sadler (Roam, Anavae, Ohhms) — who helped to shape both their EP and debut album – Tell me about your day again. thrives on the familiarity of the band’s sound: Maisie Cater’s soft vocals, Dan Godfrey’s effortless guitar fret work, Harry Mitchell’s grounding basslines and Ames’ punch-drunk drums, all come together to create an evolved sound that is more freeing and dynamic than ever before.

Quietly Feeling is a punchy opener that sees Cater lament on loneliness. “Counting days / ‘Til lonesome ends / Do you think about me? / And paint my body in your sleep” she sings, her voice just vulnerable enough to express sadness without losing its footing, bolstered by the addition of Ames and Mitchell’s backing vocals, which appear all over the album, to create beautiful walls of harmonies.

Hook me out soars on an exquisite sense of drama. A marching rhythm with murky sliding bass combined with skittering percussion is bathed in luscious swathes of trumpet, building in intensity to a momentous cinematic crescendo. Elsewhere, Heavy in the air sees SUDS letting the dust settle on the past, a sepia tinged, fizzing wealth of textures that hark back to the pop-punkier edge found on their debut.

Brief solemn moments appear on tracks Milk and honey and From everything I never said, displaying the band's vulnerabilities all wrapped in Cater’s achingly delicate yet comforting vocals, while Knowing you, like I do swells with guitars around a central character that sits in pensive angst.

Praised by Brooklyn Vegan as “a catchy blend of DIY emo, driving punk and wistful indie pop”, SUDS have also cemented their reputation on the live circuit. They’ve toured relentlessly with the likes of Spanish Love Songs, Ratboys, Pool Kids, Macseal, and Sløtface, and have appeared at festivals including SXSW, Truck, 2000 Trees, and The Great Escape. Their shows have become spaces for catharsis; rooms full of people letting go together and is the kind of energy that permeates Tell me about your day again., pairing lyrical devastation with strength combined with the power of companionship and creativity.

Whether drawing inspiration from the literary leanings of the Greenwich Village folk scene or the raw honesty of the emo revival, SUDS remain grounded in storytelling and community. Their music is for anyone navigating change and finding comfort in small shared moments. As the album’s title suggests, sometimes the most important thing you can ask someone is simply: “Tell me about your day.”
