The guys from Sydney band Highline met through their high school jazz band, but they’re carving out their own indie-rock sound showcased perfectly on the upbeat new single “Staying Sane.” This catchy tune sounds like an instant classic with its driving beat and relatable lyrics.
“‘Staying Sane’ was written after a relationship of mine fell through,” explained frontman Sam Rigney. “It touches on the subject of the post-relationship conversations we had, and the push and pull games that were being played. It’s about caring for someone despite the relationship being over and having to be selfish in a way, and take care of yourself instead of continuing to support that someone you loved/love. I was a bit of a wreck when we wrote this song and I think a lot of people can relate to what I was feeling at the time.”
These guys were selling out shows around Sydney prior to the pandemic, so I wouldn’t get complacent about their upcoming show. If you want to be there when they hit the Oxford Art Factory stage on April 3, you know what to do!
