Misspent Youth

Their previous single, Big Stick, explores the viability of true independence in the face of existential threats and how such experiences can drive one to instead submit to the protection of the Big Stick. The story is told through the eyes of a famous Iraq war correspondent who despite being painfully aware of the constant moral and military failures of the invasion, eventually became a supporter of “big stick” diplomacy. The track was mixed and mastered by John Paul Peters at Private Ear Recording. Listen here!

Big Stick

Their previous single, Participation Awards, contemplates the implications of a society in which everyone's a winner. The track was recorded live at the band's Brisbane studio, and mixed and mastered by John Paul Peters at Private Ear Recording. Listen here!
