Arizona’s Rad Stacey blur genre boundaries, blending a hard rock punch with a flash of Pop Punk in their high-voltage sound that combines gritty guitar riffs, irresistible beats and raw unapologetic lyrics. Formed in 2020 by a lineup of seasoned scene players, this group’s solid sound comes from their love of punk, hardcore, pop and hip-hop, keeping their style untamed and ever-evolving. Rad Stacey have today dropped their latest single, This Isn’t Tennis, via streaming platforms, the track dives headfirst into the mixed emotions following a 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.” (vocalist Ian Hunthausen)
