Artist:Sir Sly
Song:&Run
Album:Don't You Worry, Honey
Sir Sly has had modest success as an indie band. But they haven't crossed over to pop yet. They currently record for Interscope. It makes me wonder how much patience Interscope will have with them. Sir Sly are from Orange County, CA. When they first emerged in 2013 with a couple of singles on the indie label Neon Gold, there was some mystery about who they were. It was thought that they might be a spinoff of an established band. But when they signed with Interscope in 2014, Sir Sly revealed that Landon Jacobs is the lead singer and the other members are Jason Suwito and Hayden Coplen. &Run is from the 2017 album Don't You Worry, Honey. Sir Sly writes and produces all the music. &Run reached #3 on the Alternative Rock chart. The album is available as a digital download. Interscope has tried to promote Sir Sly by placing songs in TV shows, movies and video games. &Run appeared on the soundtrack of the video game FIFA 18. It's common record company promotion strategy these days but in this case it hasn't led to chart success yet. When I listen to Sir Sly, I think they might be better off on a smaller label like Yep Roc. But when they released the single Material Boy in Oct. 2020, they announced plans for a new album in 2021. We'll see how that goes. Here's the video for &Run by Sir Sly.
