Sydney band Johnny Hunter delivers new wave vibes with his latest single “Try As You May.” I can’t help but think of acts like Joy Division, The Cure, and early Spandau Ballet as I listen to this synthy, shimmery piece of glam-pop.
“The song is a cry for something better, a call for mercy; an honest admission to the fear of perpetual loneliness once a chapter finally comes to an end,” explained Johnny Hunter. “Try as you may to escape your pain, but once the escapism fades the only thing to do is dance in the purgatory you find yourself in.”
“Try As You May” comes from Johnny Hunter’s debut EP Early Trauma, which should drop later this year.
