Australia-based rock band Press Club released their brand new single “I Can Change” from their upcoming, self-produced record “Endless Motion”, which will be out October 14th via Hassle Records.
” “I Can Change” is about constantly being on the road, and needing to slow down/stay still because of the challenges it brings, emotionally and physically – fighting that feeling and wishing you could change cause it all you ever dreamt about. Then BAM, covid comes along, smacks you in the face and takes it all away from you! And obviously you’ll never take it for granted again, if you ever get it back cause it’s everything you ever wanted.” says Natalie Foster (singer) about the new song.
Brave, energetic, and expansive, the idea of motion has always been central to the Press Club-ethos. Having made music together for 12 years, the Melbourne-based punk rock four-piece rejects stagnancy, constantly pushing to change and thrive in a scene that largely stays the same. “Endless Motion” is the ultimate artistic statement about the past three years – a collective and global struggle that has provided the material and circumstances for Press Club to emerge as one of the most exciting and relevant bands of 2022.
The new album promises equal parts playful indie rock, punk grit and dreamy alt-rock, balancing the anecdotal and extrospective. Across their first two albums – the critical success of the adolescent commentary “Late Teens” (2018) and the frenetic freedom of “Wasted Energy” (2019) – Press Club proved themselves to be a thrilling new voice in global DIY punk rock scene.
The highly anticipated third album couldn’t have been made in more different circumstances than their second, which was written on the road touring and recorded in a six-day window in their calendar. Fun and speed were the order of the day. Plans were in place to record “Endless Motion” in Berlin in 2020 but when the pandemic shut the world down it offered Press Club a chance to reconsider all their proposed material.
“The album is a culmination of years of downtime and introspection, false starts and disappointments, bushfires and pandemics. Factors that forced us to dig out parts of ourselves to sculpt a body of work that was as uncompromising and raw as our previous releases, but executed with more polish and finesse than we thought ourselves capable of” says drummer Frank Lees of the new album.
Press Club just got back to Australia from a 3-week tour through Europe and the UK. They also joined Download UK and Hurricane and Southside Festival in Germany. In September and October, the band will play in Australia. In October/November Press Club will be back in Europe and the UK again to bring “Endless Motion” to the stages.
