The Urban Tales – “Hospital”
The Urban Tales are an alternative rock band from Tel Aviv, Israel, who tell about life in the big city as a coming-of-age story. From their debut EP Two Pigeons in Straitjackets, the band share the blissful indie-rock dazzler “Hospital”, which is fun-filled, light-hearted yet understatedly hard-hitting and bold. They wanted to create the concept of being locked inside a psychiatric ward and transform it into a funny and grotesque musical, just like “The Black Parade” by My Chemical Romance, which is also a huge inspiration for writing the song. You could hear “Hospital” as part of a ‘90s rom-com film whilst also instilling it in the modern day, with the personality and vigour of The Urban Tales shining through in this euphoric indie pop-punk offering.
