THE SMITH STREET BAND RELEASE NEW SINGLE & ANNOUNCE HUGE NATIONAL TOUR

by the partae

Australian punk stalwarts The Smith Street Band today share new single ‘Star Child’. Out on Pool House Records this is the second single from the Naarm / Melbourne band’s forthcoming seventh album.

Of the latest release the band’s lead singer Wil Wagner says, “Star Child is a song about how all life’s twists and turns have led me to a really happy place with a daughter who I love more than anything! It’s about how important things used to feel and how lost I used to be and the perspective gained with age and experiences. The song took on a lot of different directions and formations but I kept coming back to the opening line which is “I’ve seen so many highways” and thinking about how after all of life’s journeys I’ve found myself exactly where I need to be!”

The upcoming new album is the third to be recorded at the band’s off grid studio in regional Victoria and follows critically acclaimed albums Life After Football (triple j Feature Album, 2022) and Don’t Waste Your Anger (ARIA #1, 2020).

Having just completed a month of touring throughout July to capital cities across six states, The Smith Street Band today also announce a mammoth 24 date East Coast regional tour. With shows from Traralgon to Cairns and nearly everywhere in between, the tour will include their first ever shows in Mildura and Tamworth, and a long awaited return to the likes of Port Macquarie, Coffs Harbour, Rockhampton and Mackay after nearly a decade.
