Stand Atlantic @ The Gov

By Tony Polese · On April 9, 2022

STAND ATLANTIC announce they’ll bring new album F.E.A.R to The Gov on Sunday 10 July.

After the massive success of their debut album, Skinny Dipping, Stand Atlantic was set. They had written an album they were proud of called Pink Elephant, booked a sold out headline world tour, and they had plans. Then it all went to shit. 2020 hit everyone hard, but for the Australian four-piece, the prospect of putting out an album without being able to sing along with fans and feel the reaction to the songs was an anti-climactic let-down. They had to postpone, reschedule, and ultimately cancel, every tour over the next 2 years.

Fueled by frustration and defiance, Stand Atlantic ran back into the studio to write and record “deathwish ft. nothing,nowhere.” – a song that would become a “fuck you” anthem for the summer and the first collaboration between the band and alternative emo rapper, nothing, nowhere.

Buoyed by the freedom and catharsis that the band felt by releasing “deathwish,” the band said “fuck it” to waiting for touring to come back, and ran back into the studio to record their new album, F.E.A.R. (which stands for Fuck Everything And Run). Instead of coming in with plans and expectations, Stand Atlantic threw all of those out the window. The result is an album that is raw, non-conventional, and undeniably free of starry Hollywood-style bullshit.

F.E.A.R. was born out of chaos, frustration, and uncertainty. This album is for those who don’t fit the narrative, who see the cracks and exist in-between. It serves as a reminder that when you feelv expectations are walking you down the wrong path, Fuck Everything and Run.
