Today it is with great pleasure we present you with ‘Vacation Forever’ which premiered this morning via triple j breakfast, along with ‘A-OK’ which was shared with fans last week, the first taste of new music from Violent Soho since their critically acclaimed #1 multi-ARIA winning, Gold certified, fourth studio album WACO. 

Crashing back into the collective consciousness of Australia, ‘Vacation Forever’ is everything you want from Mansfield’s favourite sons. A bold, much-needed dose of every day Australian honesty with lyrics like “There’s a baby boomer across the street and it won’t stop staring at me” and “Cause they all want the good life, but I just want to breathe”. 

‘Vacation Forever’ was written while lead guitarist and vocalist Luke Boerdom was at his parent’s house, after a major upheaval in his life “I guess lyrically I’m trying to describe a certain frustration. No matter what I did in life I always ended back there.” “Back there” is in reference to his childhood bedroom, where he wrote Violent Soho’s first record, and where he ended up after being dropped by their American label in 2010. “I was back here again years later – the same damn fucking room!”
