Papa vs Pretty founding member Tom Myers is striking out on his new solo single “On My Head.” This track feels like an instant classic. Those fuzzy guitars, driving drums, and edgy vocals are taking me back to a time when bands like Silverchair and Something for Kate ruled the airwaves.
It’s a rocking song that exorcises some of the demons Tom’s felt in recent years. He penned the track just after Papa vs Pretty went their separate ways in 2014, although he admits it also addresses some of the feelings brought up by the unexpected deal of his bandmate Luke Liang in 2018.
“The song touches on the anxiety and disillusionment I felt during this period,” he said.
“On My Head” is the second track lifted from Tom’s forthcoming EP. If it’s full of bangers like this, I’ll be one happy listener.
