ALBUM OF THE WEEK: Aussie Band's New Record Will Make You Wanna 'Scream & Shout'
There's a tonne of new music released every Friday and wading through it to find your next favourite album is an almost impossible task. 'The Music' team get it and we're here to help, bringing you our Album Of The Week each Friday. Here's why Tired Lion's ‘Breakfast For Pathetics’ is this week's pick.
Three years on from their debut album, Dumb Days, Tired Lion finally share their follow up - Breakfast For Pathetics.
The album marks a new era for the act too, with Sophie Hopes now the sole member. It's an album of hard hitters, from opening track Diet Sick through to the soft close out with Screw You, Man.
It's no surprise just how good this album is though, with early singles Waterbed, Lie To Me and Cya Later proving to be fast fan favourites.
"This song was my attempt to desperately try and find my way out of a bout of depression where I had completely hidden myself from the world," said Hopes of the latter.
"I guess I needed a way to set myself free and find a way to be okay. I moved to Brisbane and was missing my family a lot. When I was writing this song I wanted to use a happy memory that would have the power to take me back to that place."

Review by Keira Leonard. Read the full review here.
"There’s always been a semi-nostalgic feel with Tired Lion, but Breakfast For Pathetics is particularly reminiscent of a soundtrack to a timeless '90s film - think Ten Things I Hate About You or Clueless. There is vivacious attitude throughout the record that is utterly contagious.
"It's a high energy rock album that will have you wanting to scream and shout; with the exception of Screw You, Man the slow burner closer, which is a surprising highlight...
"It’s sure to be a go-to summer anthem for anyone brooding the shitstorm year of 2020."
