What's the Deal with Dinner Time's new single from their upcoming album.

“What's the Deal", the heavy-hitting first single from Atlanta-based DINNER TIME immediately throws you into the cycle of long shifts and short breaks that is all too familiar to those in the service industry. The bouncy, party-like vibe of the first few bars of the song gives way to Ian Buford's candid description of excess, double shifts, and long nights. The infectious instrumentals of the hook and playful lyrics like "9 to 5 and then you're home; 5 to 9 and then you're stoned", show that DINNER TIME haven't lost any momentum. After over a year without any live performances, "What's the Deal" is a reminder of the kind of energy DINNER TIME brings to the stage and gives an exciting peek into the universe of their sophomore record, "Halfway Down", coming Fall 2021.
