After playing in the shadows with “Soak,” Waxflower are starting the new year on a more optimistic note. Their latest “Ring” is pure pop-punk goodness that is sure to brighten your day.
Waxflower frontman Tristan Higginson calls the track “a self-affirmation. A reminder to myself that it’s worth fighting odds, industry and enemies to keep my creative passion alive.”
“I almost gave up on music before Waxflower,” he admitted. “Questioning my ability at the backend of a decade of failed projects and crumbling under the weight of panic disorder, I recorded a demo as a last ditch effort to get something started. A year and a half later I was playing with my heroes, beginning to do the things I’d always dreamed. It’s me trying to calm the insecurities that keep me from putting myself on the line creatively. Don’t let your insecurities get in the way of where you want to be.”
Preach! 2022 has delivered a lot of the same old shit for many of us, so it’s refreshing to hear something so light and optimistic. If you need a lift right now, turn the volume up loud!
