It is almost alarming how many bands have emerged in Australia recently. The talent has been astounding, the songs are sure-fire hits, and the shows are selling out. Another band to add to the mass is Brisbane group, Sorry Socrates, who have garnered a following locally, and are set to make waves across the nation.
The Brisbane foursome formed early last year, and have since become old hands in the Brisbane gig scene, entertaining revellers with their dance/punk combo and playing alongside fellow Queenslanders, Teleprompter, Tourism, and Glass Towers.
Their sound is self-confessed Doom Pop, drawing on influences from Bloc Party – so much so that their new single ‘Rome’ has been mastered by Guy Davie, the man behind Bloc Party’s magic. The track is the epitome of their discography so far, and is their first official recording – and a bloody good one at that.
It all kicks off at Lambda, with a launch party and shenanigans with supports Myth and Tropics, and Cake Shop. See them before they outgrow their locale or it’ll be you who’ll be saying sorry.
