Sydney band Electric Church are channelling the sounds of the '70s and '80s through an indie rock lens with the music also morphing into bluesy grooves and funky rhythms.
The five-piece's debut single is 'Fever', a track written about the feels we have when we meet that special someone."When you're just obsessed and can't believe this person exists," bass player Brandon Wade explains. "In other words, she takes to you like a fever and you're just infected.
"This was the first song we wrote as a band. The verses are soft, but groovy and the choruses are just huge ballads.
"'Fever' really set the standards of how we want our songs to play out. We want to see everyone dancing, smiling and singing along."
Ahead of the song's release tomorrow (25 February), scenestr is stoked to premiere 'Fever' today. Enjoy.
Raised on a musical diet of Led Zeppelin and Queens Of The Stone Age, the band (Brandon, plus Joel Chalk, Dylan Dymock, Nick Karim and Tristan Kenny) aren't afraid to colour outside the lines of rock & roll either, as Brandon shares.
"We don't really want to say we're this genre or that genre, because we've got so many songs we're sitting on and each one of them is more different than the last.
"We're all from different musical backgrounds and it feels like that's what makes Electric Church so special.
"We just sit around at practice and I could start playing some jazzy bassline, then Nick and Dylan would start playing a crazy heavy riff, then Tristan would come up with some juicy beat and Joel would work his magic and make it all come together.
"It's too much fun to give up and stick to one genre."
