Sweet Pill Drop “Starchild” EP Ahead Of US Headline Tour

After inking a deal with Hopeless Records in 2023, Philadelphia’s Sweet Pill have been quietly preparing their next EP, and it’s now time for the world to hear it. The band has been garnering attention left and right with their infectious hooks and raucous anthems, and after an epic 2023 touring with bands like The Wonder Years and Hail The Sun, they’re heading out on their own 2024 North American headline tour this Spring and will be appearing at the UK’s Outbreak Festival in June. With the new Starchild EP, fans can expect Sweet Pill’s most vulnerable work yet.

“The EP Starchild as a whole takes an introspective look at battling anxieties, your inner voice, and the world that always seems so against you. “Where The Heart Is” was written when I as well as Jayce, Ryan, Chris, and Sean were discovering life after college. We were existing in such a transitional time full of big changes. Personally, this EP is a reflection of where these changes have brought me: Over-worked and unsure of myself and what matters anymore. The song “Starchild” is an ode to selling myself short and not valuing my own self worth. I’m at a time in my life where I find myself “people pleasing” everyone but myself. Then I’m burdened with the pressure of letting everyone down. Ultimately, that leads to my own personal downfall. (Zayna Youssef)
