Melbourne-based indie-rock outfit, Left At The Avenue, have today released a gritty new single, ‘Wailing’. Recorded at JMC Recording Studios, the track features a raw blend of indie rock with grungy undertones, expertly mixed by Dan Molad and mastered by Joe Carra. This powerful new release captures intense emotion through lyricism and dynamic instrumentation, offering a reflection of the band’s personal and artistic struggles.
‘Wailing’ is a testament to the group’s ability to channel their experiences into their music. The song delves into themes of frustration, perseverance, and the cathartic release found through songwriting. With its raw energy and heartfelt lyrics, ‘Wailing’ stands out as a deeply personal and impactful track.
“We were suffering from some pretty bad writer’s block just before we wrote this one, so to be able to finally get out the pent-up anger from struggling through 2023 and finally release it into ‘Wailing,’ I feel like you can hear that…at least we do.”

With ‘Wailing’, Left At The Avenue look to further the connection with their audience, by giving them unfiltered, untamed honesty.
“This song’s a reflection of many things in our lives, it’s deeply personal, performing it, even rehearsing it…taps into something within me that no other track has done before.”

Of the songs accompanying visualiser, animator Jade Gallogly has said:
“I felt so connected to the song’s feelings of anxiety, desperation and anger – I tried to channel that into how I drew the scratchy and unkept animations, letting my instinctual reaction to the song take the wheel. I hope others can find pieces of themselves in this song as I have, and I hope the visuals I’ve created help aid in that endeavour”

PRAISE
“This feels really really special! I adore the passion, emotion and vulnerability that shines through in this delivery! Feels like every band member is in a world of their own and I’m so entranced!”
Anika Luna, Triple J Unearthed
“Though intentionally pulling from those they adore, LATA are able to stand out amongst a sea of sound-alikes. Melodically and lyrically relatable despite remaining specific, LATA seem to have stumbled upon the perfect indie-rock songwriting formula.”
