Weekends aren’t quite the same in the time of COVID, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy some feel-good tunes on your Saturday. If I were planning a backyard BBQ, “Never Let Me Know” by Perth band The Gusset would definitely make my playlist.
It’s got a quirky upbeat vibe that reminds me of European acts like Phoenix and The Kooks. But then there’s also a little surf-rock vibe that roots the sound back here in Oz.
“The track describes a time in our lives where we constantly feel the pressure to succeed and to continuously move forward in all aspects of life, whether it be music, work, or relationships,” the band explained. “In order to achieve what we want, we often put pressure on ourselves which can in turn, affect us in a detrimental way, both in a work and social setting. Sometimes it becomes just all too much and you feel as if you just want someone to just stop you and let you know where you are at is just okay.”
If you like what you hear, why not get some merch? It’s one of the best ways to support your favourite bands while we’re all in iso. Those long-sleeved tees and hoodies are perfect for the cooler weather ahead!
