We’re at all times excited to premiere a band’s debut launch, and we’ve that privilege as we speak with Meanjin/Brisbane-based indie-rock band Left Cassette and their first single to hit the airwaves, “Two Left Footwear”. It’s a banger!
In the event you love guitar music, then that is going to be your jam. It opens brilliantly, with guitars to the max earlier than kicking right into a driving melody, passionate vocals from lead singer, former Liverpudlian Josh Aldred, and driving percussion. There’s an upbeat urgency to “Two Left Footwear” that has us completely hooked. It’s anthemic and charming – in an period the place it could appear that guitar-led bands are on the wane, these guys are combating to deliver them to the fore. I can’t wait to see them stay.
Concerning the observe, the band writes: “‘Two Left Footwear’ is a music written by our lead singer Josh Aldred. The observe got here collectively after a few years of trial and error. Having had the observe written in late 2021, Josh workshopped the music to his then punk rock band. When Left Cassette was shaped in early 2024, the music was re-workshopped and we put our personal spin on it. The music was initially written about being in a relationship that was at all times having its ups and downs. Not understanding whether or not you had been in it for the lengthy haul, or in your approach out the door. The connection received to a degree the place neither social gathering knew who was at fault anymore. Each simply entertaining the concept that issues will not be excellent, however you’re too hung up on the opposite individual to do something about it. Simply desperately holding on for the trip.”
