First Play on triple j Unearthed’s TOPS Program
Darkinjung/NSW-based rock quintet The Good Love have just revealed their jovial accompanying video for new single ‘Sunshine Sometime’ – filmed, directed and edited by Harry Wills of Search Media.
Shot across Pickets Valley on New South Wales’ Central Coast/Darkinjung, the clip follows the group adventuring in band member Leroy Ashfood–Meehan’s old Defender, alongside live performance footage. Throughout the video, the band convey their whimsical personas through long tracking shots and interpretive scenes, adhering to the buoyant message that the song itself portrays.
The band explains the concept of the video:
“Shot on a rainy day, the clip features us goofing around in our favourite outfits, being our fun selves, which contrasts with the weather shown in the video and supports the notion of longing for ‘Sunshine’.”
To support the release, the band will embark on a tour across New South Wales, including stops at Eora/Sydney, Mheroo/Milton, Illawarra/Thirroul, Darkinjung/Wamberal and Illawarra/Kiama, to coincide with the release. This continues on from multiple sold-out headline shows and a national tour with Pacific Avenue.
Since its release, ‘Sunshine Sometime’ has seen support from the likes of triple j Unearthed. FBi Radio, 2SER, Atwood Magazine (USA), Milky and Australian Music Scene.
Taking cues from luminaries The Beach Boys, The Rolling Stones and The Beatles, The Good Love effortlessly brings the nostalgic sounds of 60s pop-rock into a contemporary setting. While the members are spread across New South Wales locations Cavanbah/Byron Bay, Birrigan Gargle/Yamba and the Darkinjung/Central Coast, they come together to create an infectious sonic footprint of effervescent tunes full of dancing and singalongs. The band mentions, “just the fact that we all live so far away from each other but come together for shows recording and practice is pretty unique, I think.”
