Newcastle’s Liquid Zoo hooked me in from the first second of their latest single “I Don’t Want to Be Me.” But this track has more than a killer bass line on its side. Its infectious sound is the perfect counterpoint to its self-deprecating lyrics.
“The song is about coming to the realisation that your past actions were wrong and how that affects those around you and pondering the idea of not wanting to be yourself as a self-punishment,” the band explained. “We wanted to present this melancholy idea in a happier contradictory light.”
Liquid Zoo have shared stages with local legends like Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, Pacific Avenue, and King Stingray. It’s only a matter of time before they’re selling out their own headline shows, but before that they’ll join The Good Love at The Vanguard on May 19.
