I’m sure I’m not alone in having one of those weeks where Friday hasn’t arrived soon enough. Thank god for bands like Newcastle garage punk act Split Feed who can let us cut loose for just a few minutes. Their latest track “Trinkets” is the perfect song to slip on to exorcise your frustrations.
“Trinkets” explores the power inanimate objects can hold over us.
“I have a little souvenir that I got when I was overseas a while ago during a past relationship that brings back positive but also negative memories,” admitted Split Feed’s lead singer and guitarist, Joe Willis. “This song sort of adopts a tug of war motif, I’m wanting to let go of some of these memories that are aroused from this souvenir but there are some memories that keep me from throwing it away.”
“Trinkets” gives us our first taste of Split Feed’s sophomore EP. The band has a reputation for their explosive live sets, so Sydneysiders shouldn’t miss them when they play Crowbar with Luca Brasi tomorrow night. Saturday plans sorted!
