UK singer-songwriter Lauran Hibberd continues her rise to indie-pop darling status with her latest single “I Suck At Grieving.”
Forgoing the humor of her previous releases, Hibberd confronts the real loss of her father and the struggle to heal. She explains:
I found everyone’s advice on grief painful and inappropriate, and I couldn’t work out why I couldn’t grieve like the internet told me to. This track feels like an extension of me, and I know it’s not my usual tricks but it feels more me than anything I’ve ever made before.”
You can check out the single below and catch Lauran Hibberd on tour in the US now with All Time Low, Gym Class Heroes and Grayscale.
Bad Dad (occasionally called Ed) has been on the periphery of the punk and punk-adjacent scene for over twenty years. While many contributors to this site have musical experience and talent, Ed’s musical claim to fame comes from his time in arguably the most punk rock Blockbuster Video district in NJ where he worked alongside members of Blanks 77, Best Hit TV and Brian Fallon. He is more than just an awful father to his 2 daughters, he is also a dreadful husband, a subpar writer, a terrible dresser and has a severe deficiency in all things talent… but hey, at least he’s self-aware, amirite?
