THE NEW SINGLE, ‘BED KEEP ME‘ IS AVAILABLE ON ITUNES AND BANDCAMP ON FRIDAY 26 FEBRUARY!

Wednesday February 24, 2016 – Newcastle post-punk quartet, Suburban Haze have announced their forthcoming EP, It Will Never Happen, which will be released on 12” vinyl and digitally via Spit the Dummy Records on Friday 1 April 2016. The first single to be released from the EP, ‘Bed Keep Me’ will be available for download on iTunes and Bandcamp this Friday 26 February, with the music video also being released on the same day.

The song deals with themes of depression, specifically the effects of insomnia and how it affects a person’s mental state. Featuring guest vocals from Self Defense Family’s Pat Kindlon, the track moves between jangly clean guitars and uplifting distorted guitars with choral vocals.

 

Initially formed as a side-project to Newcastle punk band Tired Minds in 2012, Suburban Haze envisaged a softer more nuanced style that would draw heavily on post-punk sounds and be weighted by singer Paul Pickles’ uniquely arresting baritone vocals.

Quickly releasing an EP titled “The Lost”, the quartet backed up their commitment by setting to work on new songs and releasing their unadorned debut album, “New Coliseum” the following year. They gained airplay on triple j Unearthed, cracked the unearthed top ten charts, and in doing so, threw off any notions that the band was merely secondary.

Holding to a hard-working DIY punk ethos, Suburban Haze have clocked up several east coast tours in support of bands such as: Gatherer (NZ), Safe Hands, Oslow, and The Sinking Teeth. They have honed their on stage performance, gaining momentum as a brilliant live act and precocious young band that has found a way to invert the notion of how music can be impactful, not by being heavier, but more dynamic.

This maturity is evident in their forthcoming EP, It Will Never Happen, which ties in notable and diverse influences. On the distorted side there are elements of Nirvana, Fugazi and The Pixies, and in equal terms there is a sensitivity and melancholy reminiscent of Nick Cave and Jeff Buckley. Diverse as these influences are, everything is measured and balanced. Nothing is forced or contrived.
