Alt-punk underdogs SoSo today return with their new single ‘Something More’, lifted from their eagerly awaited upcoming album So Much For Second Chances out November 14. Stream ‘Something More’ HERE and pre-order the album HERE. Written about the age-old struggle of pursuing an artistic dream while working the nine-to-five grind, frontman Rhys de Burgh says the new single is one that’s close to the band’s heart.

“Essentially, it’s a reflection of where each of the band members is at – we each hold down careers to fund our dream of doing what we love for a living, which is making music. Throwing everything we have into SoSo with the hope it’ll take off so we can escape the 9-5 jobs we despise, but deep down understanding that it might never happen for us.” – Rhys de Burgh, SoSo frontman 

It’s a track with strong thematic ties to the band’s ambitious yet data-backed goal of securing an ARIA #1 for So Much For Second Chances. As an independent band, achieving that goal will take a village, and the band have called upon their fiercely loyal fanbase to help them get there – “we’ve only got a shot at this thanks to fans like you guys who support us so much.” 

Backed by a burgeoning fanbase both at home and abroad, and with millions of streams and multiple sold out shows to their name, SoSo have been making waves on their own terms. Rhys took matters into his own hands last year, opting to leave his previous nine-to-five to focus full time on the band and chase that dream. Setting out to rewrite the playbook on independent artist marketing, he poured hours of his time into understanding how to best reach future fans and engage SoSo’s existing supporters, and in the year since, has grown the band’s mailing list to over 10,000 Australian subscribers.

Working with acclaimed producer Stevie Knight (Yours Truly / Stand Atlantic / Between You & Me), So Much For Second Chances sees the band evolve their songwriting and sound, embracing melodic pop vocal hooks and incorporating samples, synths and heavier production. At its core though, the record is still true to SoSo – ambitious, playful, and unmistakably their own.

So Much For Second Chances is available for pre-order via www.sosopunx.com, and tickets for their upcoming headline tour are on sale now HERE.
