THE RESIGNATORS RELEASE NEW VIDEO CLIP
With their new album ‘Party Dates‘ due out next month, The Resignators have released a new film clip, their second from the album, a tribute to iconic Australian front man Stevie Wright.

I’m Losing You (Evie Part 3)‘ tells the final story of a relationship that began as teenagers and ends, sadly in this track, with the death of Evie after child birth. It’s a twist on the boy meets girl, boy falls in love, girl breaks up with boy story that we often see in movies and teen angst books.

The Resignators attempt to catch Stevie Wright’s energy whilst flavouring the track in their own unique way they say is “a tribute, it’s not a cover.

Check out the video below. The band are currently in the UK, but upon their return will launch the new album at Cherry Bar in Melbourne on Friday 8th September.

LEPROUS SHARE SECOND SINGLE FROM NEW ALBUM
Norway’s Leprous are soon to release their fifth studio album ‘Malina‘ on August 25th via InsideOutMusic.

First off and most importantly. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts to every single person that came out to a show, stuck around, had a dance and possibly even withstood the worst hangover the following day. Gosh darn it, We recognize and really appreciate it. To all the awesome bands, we’ve had the opportunity to share the stage with. It’s amazing how many new people we’ve met and formed such strong friendships with along the way. It’s what this is all about. It really does feel like a big family.
