When I discover a band with a great name, I want to like them. My hopes were high for The Bonnie Doons, but this Brisbane band did not disappoint. Their unassumingly titled new single “Fred” is a funky, yet laidback slice of surf rock in the vein of Ocean Alley and some of the material from frontman Torian Brewer’s other act, Bootleg Rascal.
The Bonnie Doons released their debut EP last year, so this song is our first taste of the new chapter. If it’s all this delicious, I say bring it on.
“In this track I talk about staying true to who you are and not letting your emotional attachments to things or people keep you from doing what’s right for you. Breaking down the barriers of guilt, letting something go and moving on,” Torian explained.
The Bonnie Doons are itching to get back out in front of audiences. Until then, let this track whet your appetite!
