BEACH PANIC SHARE NEW VIDEO FOR “TWIST WITH ME” ‘ICE CREAM TAMBOURINE’ EP WILL BE AVAILABLE FRIDAY AUGUST 13

Melbourne bop rockers BEACH PANIC! are today sharing their new single, “Twist With Me”, from upcoming EP, ‘ICE CREAM TAMBOURINE’ out Friday August 13.

BEACH PANIC! breathe new life into an era that laid foundation for early rock and rollers like Elvis Presley and The Beatles. “Twist With Me” leaves listeners with a desire to hit the town, meet up with your baby and dance the night away.

“Twist With Me was probably the easiest and quickest song we have ever written,” says the band.
“We were hanging out listening to ‘Surfin USA’ by The Beach Boys and wanted to make our own little nod to the song.

“At the time we were actively trying to make songs as simply structured as possible so we could really focus on creating a high energy surf-punk soundscape, once we wrote the hook for the chorus and made the bass follow the vocal melody we knew we were onto something absolutely bodacious.”

“Kindred” was the first to drop from forthcoming EP ‘ICE CREAM TAMBOURINE’ and explored the fear and vulnerability of falling in love, and sonically showcased exactly what BEACH PANIC! are all about. Premiering at TheMusic, who described the single as “a surfy, west coast synth tune dripping with nostalgia”, the old school Hollywood inspired music video was added to ABC’s RAGE playlist over the weekend and was praised by Hysteria Mag with a glowing: “Summer vibes have come early this year with Kindred”.

Adding a new dimension to the traditional band lineup, BEACH PANIC! is a surf-pop art project comprised of two musicians, Daniel Marinakis and Tom Mitchell, who share musical duties with alternative rockers Belle Haven, and creative mastermind and visual artist Yannica Stakelbeck-Keily. The group go by their own monikers, Tequila Sunrise (Yannica Stakelbeck-Keily), her long time partner Dr. M. Flamingo (Daniel Marinakis) and his best friend Daddy Longlegs (Tom Mitchell) whose lives converged in a creative household where the project was born.

The trio share a love for the charm and quirks of music from the 50s and 60s. The free loving, heart-on-your-sleeve themes mixed with hip shaking grooves is exactly what the members strive to bring together, and these elements have since become integral to the project. With the boys emotive punk rock upbringing and Yannica’s love for vintage style, the amalgamation of their hard hitting energy and groovy fashion sense makes BEACH PANIC! loud and confident. Together the band has created a special blend of tongue-in-cheek surf-pop rock music that bounces between being unabashedly honest and utterly rambunctious.
