SYDNEY’S PINKY RING REVEAL NEW SINGLE ‘CHINA WHITE’ TAKEN FROM ‘PINKY RING LIVE’ EP, OUT NOW!
Having thrown themselves into 2024 with a full slate of music and projects to deliver, Sydney indie group PINKY RING is continuing to hurtle through into the end of the year with the release of new single, ‘CHINA WHITE’.
The single, taken from PINKY RING LIVE EP,which is out now is a fitting addition to an ever-growing catalogue of dynamic music that traverses emotion as easily as it does great lyricism and a clear passion for tight melody and arrangement. A breakup song at its core, ‘China White’ captures the energy of wanting to throw oneself into vices that only offer temporary relief from heartache.
“‘China White’ was written a few hours after a long term relationship ended, I couldn’t think of anything to help other than get absolutely cooked. The verses are me telling myself it doesn’t mean anything to me and the chorus is the realisation it actually does.”
SAMUEL VICKARY, PINKY RING
Recorded at DefWolf Studios, PINKY RING laid the thick live energy of the band’s hectic shows on the studio recording. Matching the ferocity and emotion behind the lyrics, ‘China White’ is carried by songwriter and vocalist Vickary, while being fleshed out by the talented instrumentalists that have formed a tight live group in recent years.
Threading this similar energy into the live EP recording, PINKY RING have left nothing on the table with the creation of this music. The heart, sweat and pure euphoric connection between artist and music is evident.
“I took the whole song written over two chords in my book to our friend Tom Joseph’s house and a few hours later we had a fully shaped song demo recorded. After that, I was super excited about it. When it came time to actually record it, we decided to do it live and harness the energy and anger of the song.”

PRAISE
“Ooft… I could not think of a more perfect team up! PINKY RING and Ellen Soffe with the collab of your dreams <3”
TRIPLE J UNEARTHED, ANIKA LUNA (‘The Road to Eldorado ft. Ellen Soffe’, 2023)
“Although the music itself develops an uplifting narrative, it is the lyrics and vocal performance that take centre stage to explore and tell a story around personal struggles, functioning as a tribute and recognition to these.”
