Sydney alt-rockers Stand Atlantic are back with rollicking new single ‘Velcro’, out now via Virgin Music Group.
Pairing the band’s energetic sound with vulnerable lyrics, ‘Velcro’ is a punchy song about love that’s sure to become a live favourite.
“I’ve spent 10 years avoiding love songs and writing only about what ended in heartbreak,” says frontwoman Bonnie Fraser. “On ‘Velcro’, that curse is finally broken. It’s the most honest thing I’ve written in a long time - after a really intense period of writer’s block, so recording it live, raw and unfiltered felt like the only way to do it. The curse is officially broken, the gates are open, our lovergirl era is on, and ‘Velcro’ says you’re welcome.”
The track is accompanied by a music video shot in the iconic Young Henrys brewery in Newtown, Sydney, featuring the band performing live in various parts of the brewery.
