After dabbling in more experimental, electronic-driven sounds on their recent releases, Gold Coast post-punk outfit The Lonesomes are coming out swinging with their new single Black & Blue, stripping back to their blistering roots with a supporting run of live shows.

Built on heavy riffs and frantic drums, it’s raw, it’s fast, and it’s a reminder of the band’s punk foundations which has seen them support the likes of The Chats, Bad//Dreems, Dune Rats, Mammal, Gut Health and many more whilst being featured on Triple J radio and appearing at a host of alt Australian festivals and events.

Produced, Engineered and mixed once again with George Carpenter (Delta Riggs, Drug Cult) and mastered by Joseph Carra (King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard), Black & Blue captures the icy edge and unflinching energy that has become The Lonesomes’ signature.  Frontman Matt Callan puts it simply: “The song is about that person in your life that's there for you through thick and thin, that you would do anything for and they would for you... that person you would go through hell and back together.”

With a run of East Coast release shows on the back of the new single (drops Nov 21), the band are set to take their explosive live set back on the road this Nov/Dec. Known for chaotic energy, relentless pace and a knack for keeping every show unpredictable, The Lonesomes continue to prove why they’re one of Australia’s most exciting emerging post-punk acts.
