NATIONAL TOURING OCTOBER – NOVEMBER
PRAISE FOR WASTED ENERGY:
“make no mistake, where there’s a new directness to Press Club, there’s still plenty of warmth, colour and personality. Opener Separate Houses feels like sticking your thumb in the mains – in a good way”Kerrang!
“Wasted Energy is wholly gripping. It’s a force to be reckoned with. It’s 12 huge tunes that you didn’t know you needed until now.”The Music
“songs like Thinking About You have the raw energy and urgency you’d find at a Press Club show. Singer Natalie Foster, who designed the album artwork for Wasted Energy, absolutely howls on these tracks.”The Age
Having just wrapped up their biggest headline tour of the UK and Europe, Press Club release ‘Separate Houses’, the latest single to come from their second album Wasted Energy. Tracked live at Woodstock Studio, Melbourne and mixed by the band themselves in their studio underneath Melbourne’s Westgate bridge, Wasted Energy was independently released in August, landing at #4 in the AIR Album chart and #15 on the ARIA Australian Album chart.
In keeping with their self-made ethos, the band filmed the music video for ‘Separate Houses’ while on their recent tour of Europe. Directed and produced by the band’s guitarist, Greg Rietwyk, the clip was shot across locations in Scotland, England and continental Europe – Press Club made the most of their idyllic surrounds.
‘Separate Houses’ has a kaleidoscope lens of introspection and extrospection and is comprised of three acts. In Act I Press Club are in a familiar sonic playground of uptempo backbeats, straight 8 guitars, and the trademark melodic delivery of singer, Natalie Foster. Act II hones in on the bands ability to make the listener unnerved without even being in the same room. With shades of the title track from the bands debut album, Late Teens, Foster remarkably finds another gear in her voice and unleashes sheer fury into the microphone.
Act III is a veritable cracking of the spine, relieving all of the pressure built up over the minutes prior. Both apathetic and euphoric the song draws to a close with another tempo shift and cries ‘I keep on pretending that I am getting better’.
Some people view rock and roll as a gratuitous expression of opulence, antiestablishmentarianism and ego. Others view it as an exposé of the inner workings of an artist’s emotions and the most captivating performances draw back the curtains on the artist’s vulnerability. This is ‘Separate Houses’. It is the song where Press Club candidly reveal their vulnerability and their might at its most fierce.
