Stand Atlantic to release “Sidewinder” EP on September 15

Alternative pop/rock band, Stand Atlantic is Australia’s wonder act and exciting newcomers to the music scene. Formed in 2015, high-school friends Bonnie Fraser (vocalist), Jonno Panichi (drummer) and David Potter (bassist) have gone from strength-to-strength since releasing their demo EP. The trio have since supported local and international bands including As It Is, With Confidence and This Wild Life, and signed with international label, Rude Records only two years on.
 
Their debut single ‘Coffee at Midnight’ premiered on triple j’s Short. Fast. Loud. program, with an official release on June 26^th, Bonnie says, “the song is about that feeling of desperately trying to cling onto something or someone vs. finally letting go and realising that maybe it just wasn’t that great in the first place.” With the accompanying music video, she adds “we wanted to show a more abstract/non linear story in the video of a relationship between two people – something that most people could relate to. Our director Kieran Ellis-Jones was great to work with and really brought everything to life.”
 
Enlisting the help of producer Stevie Knight (With Confidence), mixing engineer, James Wisner (As It Is) and mastering engineer, Grant Berry (BUSTED, Me VS Hero, Milestones) at the end of 2016, the band crafted Sidewinder. A 5-track EP that offers captivating vocals enveloped by a fresh blend of melodic hooks and power-driven instrumentals. With honest lyrics at its core, Sidewinder will undoubtedly launch Stand Atlantic and hook-in admiring fans along the way.
 
Stand Atlantic’s Sidewinder EP will be released on September 15, 2017 via Rude Records. The band will be supporting the release with local and international tours – stay tuned for more news to come.
