The chilly winter weather has well and truly set in. If you’re looking for a way to warm up, may I suggest jumping around to Down For Tomorrow’s latest single “Sentimental.” This is another quality cut from the Sydney indie-punk act, with powerful vocals from Cody Stebbings supported by fuzzy guitars and relentless drums.
“I had just finished rehearsal with everyone. On the way home I began to question my own song writing methods and the value behind the lyrical subjects. I felt I was dramatising and overstating everything I wrote about in some strange attempt to overcompensate for a lack of musical and emotional diversity. I said to myself what would later become the hook: ‘when am I ever not sentimental?’ I wrote the song that night, and we workshopped it with Stevie; sensibly crafting the dynamic push and pull, going over the melody until it was true to the theme. The song emphasises the satire in trying not to be so sentimental about the things that should matter,” Cody explained.
Down For Tomorrow will take the song on the road next month. Catch them at The Workers Club in Melbourne on July 9 or Waywards in Sydney on July 24.
