Sydney’s Bellwether prove they’re one of the most consistent up-and-comers around with another fantastic single, “Halfway Happy.” With big guitar chords, an anthemic chorus, and angsty lyrics, it’s everything you want in a pop-punk track.
“Halfway Happy comes from a place of being trapped in the company of someone that makes you feel like you’re always falling short,” the band explained. “The song focuses a lot on this pattern of constantly questioning every part of ourselves and feeling like we’re simply not good enough – for ourselves or those around us. When we’re with someone that is always making us doubt ourselves, it’s easy to fall into that mindset and second guess every aspect of ourselves. Reflecting on these kinds of experiences, we see our past mistakes and regrets take shape in the form of insecurities that impact us every day, even years on.”
It’s set to be a big couple of weeks for Bellwether. They will celebrate the release of “Halfway Happy” with a big show at Crowbar on March 25 supporting FANGZ. Then on April 8, they’ll release their debut EP Impermanence. If tracks like this are any indication, it’s going to be brilliant!
