With their raw alt-rock/ punk, Adelaide’s Nocturnal Animals been leaving impressions with their past releases and are releasing one of their most cathartic and explosive tracks to date in the new single ‘Outside’ (Out June 4).
For those unacquainted, the band emerged from the darkness with their debut single at the beginning of 2020 and have since released a total of 5 fiery singles – all of which have brought out that inner angst and middle finger salute.
Conjuring up more energy and raw rage, ‘Outside’ has Nocturnal Animals blasting out a gritty, punk-rock track filled with crashing waves of guitars, slamming drums and chant-along melodies.
The aggression and rage in the track push the underlying theme forward that is about being controlled and dictated in a relationship, ultimately leading to a breakpoint. Brandon Johnson states:
“‘Outside’ is about being in a relationship where you feel constricted and claustrophobic. Your partner controls and dictates what you can and can not do. You want to go left, she wants to go right. You want to break free like Troy Bolton but you’re stuck playing basketball.”
