Premiere: Watch: Tuff Love Unveil ‘Sweet Discontent’ Video

story so far: The Glasgow trio stick out like a sore thumb with their Weezer-indebted but sweet-centered take on breezy college rock. They’ve also benefited, in part, to a letter sent by the head of their label Lost Map Records. Writing things by hand seems to be enough to impress journos the world over these days, it’s that much of a novelty. It also helps when old-school tradition links up to a band sounding unashamedly modern.

The next step, then, is the release of debut 10’ EP ‘JUNK’. On top of that, Tuff Love are touring the UK for the foreseeable future, giving life to their charming, enlivening efforts. ‘Sweet Discontent’ is the finest we’ve heard so far. And its accompanying video - a charming overlay of band members on a swimming pool backdrop - only adds to the sense that we’re witnessing the makings of a very special band.

Watch Julie Eisenstein and co. star in the ‘Sweet Discontent’ video below. Check out tour dates underneath the player, and pre-order ‘JUNK’ physically or digitally.

On 2nd May Tuff Love play an EP launch show at The Old Hairdresser’s, Glasgow. Attendees at the launch get a copy of the 10’ included in the ticket-price, and an immediate download of ‘Sweet Discontent’ when they purchase here.
