Arizona based “Rad Stacey” have dropped their latest single, This Isn’t Tennis. The new release dives headfirst into the mixed emotions post breakup, and somehow being okay with it.
“”This Isn’t Tennis” was born as a true sad-boy, fuck-you anthem, written right from behind the hotel desk where I was working, pouring out all that post-breakup energy that’s as raw as classic Blink-182. It’s the ultimate “I didn’t get the girl, but screw it” vibe. There’s real-life heartbreak layered into the song—lines pulled straight from an old relationship, written with one particular girl in mind. It’s about capturing that universal feeling of being messed up, sad, but somehow okay with it. We’ve all been there: brokenhearted and over it, yet still kinda not. That’s This Isn’t Tennis.” – Ian Hunthausen (Vocals)
Arizona’s own RAD STACEY blurs genre boundaries, blending a hard rock punch with a flash of Pop Punk in their high-voltage sound. Rad Stacey hooks audiences with thick, gritty guitar riffs and irresistible beats, perfectly paired with their raw, unapologetic lyrics.
