Sydney based alternative-rock quartet Second Idol have revealed their earnest debut EP ‘Defence Mechanisms’.

‘Defence Mechanisms’ is five tracks of reflective and dynamic alternative rock, all-inclusive with arduous melodies, sincere lyricism and compelling instrumentation that strengthens the group’s notoriety and defines their prominent sound.

Lead singer Kate Olivia talks about the process behind ‘Defence Mechanisms’:

“This record is about resilience and strength, vulnerability and authenticity, self-worth and self-determination. The growing of armour. ‘Defence Mechanisms’ explores concepts of power and control, ambition and listlessness, political frustration, queerness and gender, all fuelled with a relentless vengeance.”
