THE UNKNOWNS ANNOUNCE DEBUT ALBUM + NEW VIDEO "WASTE MY TIME"

Sunshine Coast rock trio The Unknowns have delivered a lo-fi rifftastic jam today called “Waste My Time”, lifted from their debut album, Nothing Will Ever Stop, set for release on November 27 via Bargain Bin Records.

Driven by their passion for good old-fashioned rock’n’roll, “Waste My Time” is an instant classic steeped in delectably raw garage rock with a punk twist. The video sees the trio take their new single – instruments and all – on an excursion through the streets of Brisbane as they rail against the performative nonsense of social media down the shops, on the train and even in the bottleo cool room.

Nathan Montgomery (bass) explains: “The new single ‘Waste My time’ is about how you shouldn’t waste your time trying to impress people with how good you look, especially on social media. How everybody’s trying to be someone but that means nothing if you’re not being yourself.”

The Unknowns debut album is chock full of authentic rock’n’roll tempered with a fresh punk attitude set to reinvigorate the scene they live in. Driven by their passion for timeless music expressing honest emotions, the band delivers an unassuming simplicity to sharing their truth through bursts of garage rock/power pop. On the stage, the trio perform with the kind of freedom and vigour that gets feet moving and has seen them tour across Australia with Ed Kuepper (The Saints), Frenzal Rhomb, Clowns, Pist Idiots, The Growlers and fellow Sunshine Coast trio The Chats.

Speaking of The Chats, both bands go way back, growing up together on the same patch of land in Australia. This long-standing mateship has given The Unknowns the opportunity to release their debut via The Chats’ growing label Bargain Bin Records.

“We are so stoked to be signing with our mates Bargain Bin Records, they have always supported us and it’s awesome we can put our music out through their label, as well as heaps of other great bands,” said Montgomery. “We can’t wait to release our well overdue debut LP as we believe as a band we have finally found our strongest sound.”
