Violent Soho’s have revealed from their fifth studio album, Everything Is A-OK, a scorching second single, ‘Lying On The Floor’. Recorded by Australian producer Greg Wales (You Am I, Sandpit, Youth Group), it will be released into the world on Friday 3 April. In true Soho fashion, the Mansfield boys are celebrating the news by throwing a series of sold out, exclusive shows in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane this weekend.

Premiered this morning via triple j Breakfast, ‘Lying On The Floor’ is an energetic track packed with slacker attitude and the raw energy that Violent Soho are famous for. Opening line, ‘I don’t want to be a photograph / They’re like handing out brochures that a rapture is close’ burns into your brain like only a Luke Boerdam lyric can, but where we might have come to expect a certain wry suspicion and existential despair from the Brisbane four-piece, we are instead met with a song that suggests a band that is content; ‘Lying on the floor is all I wanna do / So thank you’.

Kicking off tonight in Melbourne, the band are playing a run of intimate shows for fans along the east coast. Tonight, they play at The Tote, before heading to The Lansdowne in Sydney tomorrow and wrapping up at The Zoo in Brisbane on Saturday. Each show sold out in under two hours – no mean feat considering they were announced with nothing but a stack of humble flyers, with only hardcopy tickets available for the lines of ravenous fans that made their way to iconic record stores in each city. There’s no question that this band remains one of the most in-demand live acts in the country.
