Legends of Australia's underground scene, Brisbane's Screamfeeder are once again bringing their catchy hooks, melodic indie rock and DIY attitude to the fore with newest single 'Don't Get Me Started'.
Their first new music in half a decade, 'Don't Get Me Started' will feature on Screamfeeder's forthcoming studio album 'Five Rooms', which came to life last year."Last July we holed up in Samford and recorded our eighth album 'Five Rooms'," the quartet of Tim Steward, Kellie Lloyd, Darek Mudge and Phil Usher (who joined the band last month replacing long-time drummer Dean Shwereb) says.
"It was recorded in lockdown at Airlock Studios with producer Anna Laverty (Courtney Barnett, Camp Cope). Mixing is by US engineers Beau Sorenson (Superchunk, Bob Mould) and Travis Harrison (Guided By Voices, Built To Spill).
"We recorded it like we used to: twelve days, non stop, everything finished in the one session. There are 12 songs, with an even writing split between Tim and Kellie. We're so happy to be able to have recorded again."
Fresh off playing the Victorian leg of Spring Loaded (they also play the Brisbane leg next month, 12 March) with Grinspoon, You Am I, Regurgitator, Killing Heidi and more, Screamfeeder will headline their own tour this winter with shows in Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney and Brisbane.
An added bonus is fellow '90s rock icon, Adalita will join Screamfeeder for the entire tour.
"The sound on 'Don't Get Me Started' in particular was inspired by music that sounds like it's been written in 5 mins and recorded in 15," adds Kellie.
"Loud, brash, a little unhinged, you don't know if it's going to fall over.
"This song is just a fun song, but I've been feeling people need to look away from themselves, look away from our screens, look away from our reflections and see bigger pictures."
'Five Rooms' will be released in May, 2022. Pre-order it.
Tickets to the June shows are on sale.
