In Good Hands – Sounds of Oz

In Good Hands have ushered in a new era of music with the release of their latest single “Old Friends.” It’s a nostalgic indie-rock track that captures the transition from childhood to adulthood, the period where you gain freedom but you grapple with new responsibilities that might just weigh you down.

The band’s lead singer Jack Kenyon says that the lyrics “reflect the struggle of feeling lost in the routine of adult life. We remind ourselves—and you—that it’s okay to feel scared but never too tired to chase those memories again.”

For “Old Friends”, In Good Hands reunited with Jack Nigro who produced their Daylight EP.

“This one came together super quickly and naturally, with the bones turning into the finished song in a week or so. We knew straight away that it would be a track we had to record with Jack Nigro up at Sonora Studios, so we rushed up there to get it done!” they said.

With the release of “Old Friends,” In Good Hands sound like they’re going from strength to strength. I can’t wait to hear what comes next.

GuriNgai and Darug Country/North-West Sydney-based indie-rock outfit In Good Hands have just dropped their debut EP, Daylight. The title reflects the feel-good tunes the band showcases on this six-track release.

You might not expect a band like In Good Hands to release such upbeat music. They hit the scene in 2020, a less-than-ideal time for any musicians, especially those trying to establish their reputation. They felt the impact of the COVID lockdowns as their debut shows were cancelled and their creative process was pushed online. However, you know what they say about the things that don’t kill you making you stronger.

Rather than letting the setbacks defeat them, In Good Hands used the time to hone their craft. Their efforts developing their sound and songwriting skills haven’t gone unnoticed. Tracks like “Lately” and “How ‘Bout Time?” lyrically encapsulate the frustrations of feeling like you’re wasting your youth while the world presses pause. It’s heavy subject matter, but it’s lifted by the connection you hear between these musicians who clearly relish coming together. The optimism they feel as they forge forward is evident in “Fly Away.” As the opening track, it sends a strong message that no matter what the band or their listeners have been through, everything’s going to be okay.

With the release of Daylight, In Good Hands showcase their resilience, tenacity, and above all, talent. The future looks bright for this local band. They’ll officially launch the EP for hometown fans at Oxford Art Factory in Eora/Darlinghurst on May 31.
