Like so many people around the country, I’ve dragged myself back to work today. It might be Tuesday, but it’s got definite Monday vibes. However, the sunny spot has been “Charade,” the latest track from Sydney pop-punk act Bellwether. If you’re dragging your feet too, this single could be the shot in the arm you’re looking for.
If you’re a movie nerd, make sure you listen to those lyrics. The song is told from the point of view of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World’s Knives Chau processing her emotions after being dumped by Ramona Flowers.
“The song is told from her perspective, and is directed towards the titular Scott Pilgrim as she expresses her feelings towards him, having been dumped for Ramona Flowers,” explained Bellwether’s lead guitarist and songwriter Heath Joukadar.
Bellwether are relative newcomers to the scene, playing just one show together in December. However, with their previous projects the band members have shared the stage with local and international acts including Yours Truly, Between You and Me, Four Year Strong, WSTR, and heaps more. Hopefully it won’t be too long before we see them playing gigs all around the country, because a band with this much energy is bound to be one worth watching.
