Genre-bending Meeanjin/Brisbane band TYDE have made such a strong impression on me with their latest single “Let The Dust Fall.” The song features powerhouse vocals from Ella Belfanti, who shares the horrors of dealing with a medical system that left her feeling at war with her own body. While it draws from very personal experiences, Ella hopes it speaks to anyone who’s felt let down by the healthcare sector.
“This song is about more than just my story – the medical system in its current form causes harm in so many areas by failing to look for root causes and preferencing bandaid solutions with side effects, and it leaves people feeling helpless,” she insisted. “It also leaves people with a lot of frustration and anger and no way to hold anyone accountable for the harm done to them.”
TYDE have a stack of local gigs coming up, so if you’re in Queensland make sure you get along and support them.
