Mondays can be a drudge, but Melbourne indie-pop act Royal East are here to get your energy level up with their ear-pleasing new single “Get With Me.” If you like acts like The Wombats and The Kooks, this catchy tune will be right up your alley.
“’Get With Me’ is a summer romance introspective,” explained lead singer Pat O’Bryan. “The song begins as a sentimental morning serenade: ‘watch us rise, our hungry lungs take in the breath’. The verses are dream-like and bashful, revealing affection and nostalgia: ‘what a time we had, you took me on and swept me off my feet’. That romance, however, is in constant tension with the chorus, which reveals that this song is actually an unrequited love-song. On the one hand, ‘Get With Me’ is all about falling head over heels and getting carried away, but on the other, it’s a cautionary tale about getting burned. Hard.”
Hometown music lovers are in for a real treat, with Royal East supporting Art vs Science at their 10-year anniversary show at Howler on December 14.
