Fresh off the release of their highly-anticipated sophomore EP “The Sound Of What Went Wrong”, Brisbane pop-punk icons Waxflower have shared a brand new music video for their latest single.
On the Nick Hargans and Giles Higginson directed video, lead singer Tristan Higginson shares: “'Misaligned Love' is a song about two timelines that never merged. Stories that never had the chance to match up. In the music video, we only had a small amount of time in between two tours to shoot it, so we wanted to do something simple. We went back to a roof that we shot press shots at, using Daniel's old Volvo as the centrepiece of the shoot. Sydney sent through some home video for her feature & our talented guitarist Nick Hargans pieced it all together”.
Drummer Daniel Seymour explains the EP was recorded over two weeks in Sydney with producer and frequent collaborator Stevie Knight (Stand Atlantic / Yours Truly / Between You & Me). “Those two weeks were spent crafting and perfecting these songs - to become the most accurate representation of who we are as people, musicians, and what we hope Waxflower reflects. I feel this release is just the next step in our progression, a movement forward in the constant search to find ‘our sound’.”
Waxflower’s new EP is the culmination of a recent string of singles plus fresh new track “Two Thumbs”, which are all signaling a bright new era for the band as they delve deeper into nostalgic pop-rock elements from a time where Myspace was king, combined with modern, relatable songwriting and pockets of tantalizing electro-pop.
Most recently released single “Misaligned Love” features the vocals of Sydney Sprague and has been added to Spotify’s All New Rock playlist, Apple Music’s New In Rock and Amazon Music’s Brand New Music AU & NZ and Fresh Rock playlists.
Before that, single “The Drama Scene” premiered on triple j’s Short.Fast.Loud program and was also supported by NME, Sounds of Oz, Rocksound, The Music, and more. The track has also been added to Amazon Music’s Breakthrough Alternative and Fresh Rock playlists as well as Spotify’s Local Noise, with the music video accompaniment premiering on Hysteria Mag.
“Ring” was supported domestically by the likes of Wall of Sound, The Music, The AU Review, LiveWire AU, Good Call Live, Ticketmaster, Sounds of Oz, and more, amongst international coverage from Upset, Bring The Noise, and Punktastic to name a few. The single has seen Waxflower move from strength to strength on streaming platforms, with additions to Apple Music’s The New Rock and New In Rock playlists, and Amazon Music’s Punk Scene and Fresh Rock.
Earlier, “Soak”, which has clocked over 100k streams, followed on from the band’s heart-on-sleeve debut EP “We Might Be Alright” (2021). The track caught the attention of both domestic and international media, receiving support from the likes of Wall of Sound, Hysteria, Rock Sound, CLASH, Punktastic, DSCVRD, and more, alongside an addition to triple j Unearthed rotation. “Soak” was also hailed as triple j Unearthed’s “Track of the Day” on release, and landed Waxflower’s first ever BBC Radio 1 spin on Daniel P Carter’s Rock Show alongside airplay on triple j’s Short.Fast.Loud program.
