Superdose Gangway share nostalgic new single “No Reason At All”

Adelaide pop punk/emo band Superdose Gangway share their nostalgic new single, “No Reason At All“, and prepare to launch it live at OC Sound Fest, a celebration of the South Australian punk scene, on the 24th January.

For fans of Blink 182 and Hot Mulligan, “No Reason At All” is about a generation disillusioned by the reality of the world today, produced by Lachy Pitcher (TOWNS, Sleep Talk, Colourblind). Tackling themes of existential doubt, the track explores the weight of living in a world where leaders fail to inspire hope. “I believe that action is the best response to the current state of the world,” says frontman Max Tulysewski. “But sometimes all I can muster is despair. This song has been a work in progress since the pandemic, and I think it reflects some common themes of the last five years. My hope is that this song encourages people to be kinder to themselves and those around them.”

Accompanying the new single is a cinematic music video directed by Pete Williams. The clip features high-energy band performances soundtracking a young couple’s struggle to stay afloat during the current housing crisis, represented by epic footage of a couch on fire. Watch it here.

Formed in Adelaide in 2015, Superdose Gangway fuse buoyant pop-punk with the sounds of heartfelt Midwest emo revival. The band’s core members first crossed paths while studying jazz at the Elder Conservatorium – a background that subtly informs their songwriting and musicianship. Fronted by the charismatic Max Tulysewski, Superdose Gangway pairs the endlessly versatile guitar work of Sam Morris and Zoe Smith with the bolt-action rhythm section of Anthony Costanzo and Craig Burns on bass and drums, respectively.

Initially a songwriting project for Tulysewski and a close-knit group of collaborators, Superdose Gangway quickly established themselves as a hard working band known for unorthodox releases. The first of which was called twenty-six songs in twenty-sixteen, seeing them composing, recording  and releasing a new song every fortnight. Upon completion of this project, the band released a best-of mixtape called Monsoon Season through US indie label Old Press Records. In 2017, their single Nothing Gold was included on an international 4-way split 7” with Summerbruise (US), Gun Shy (UK) and The East and their song Quixote appeared on ‘We Believe You: A Benefit Compilation for Victims of Sexual Violence‘ in 2018 amongst a host of US emo mainstays including Great Wight, Prince Daddy & the Hyena and Into It. Over It. Further showcasing their versatility, the band also wrote an original song for the independent feature film The Last Grind, which is now streaming on SBS.

Superdose Gangway have earned a reputation for their captivating live shows, sharing stages with a diverse lineup of kindred artists including Tigers Jaw (US), Signals Midwest (US), The 5.6.7.8’s (JPN), Carb on Carb (NZ), The Smith Street Band, Slowly Slowly, Ceres and Press Club, among others. Their sound has resonated with both fans and critics alike – Junkee praised that “over the last five years, they’ve crafted a sound of their own,” while Hysteria Mag declared, “Fans of emo-tinged pop punk, meet your new favourite band: Superdose Gangway.”

“No Reason At All” is out now and streaming everywhere.
