The first single from the record ‘Trouble in Paradise’ premiered on triple j radio to strong fan support and has already reached the ears of and earned praised from the members of Steel Panther:
Michael Starr: “I rate it. A strong 4 out of 5 Eddie Van Halens. It’s commercially awesome. The chorus is catchy, the pre-chorus is catchy, there’s a killer guitar solo in it, the backgrounds are big and juicy and wet and the guitar tone is pretty bitchin. His vocals are fn killer too. I was stoked to hear it….There’s so much 80s dripping off that track, I couldn’t get enough of it.”
Satchell: “The singer’s a great singer. That guy’s got a really powerful voice. They’re gonna go far, these kids.”
triple j’s Tommy Faith added “Enormous 80s hooks! Searing guitar solos! A massive chorus! What’s not to love?”
Their music sports the mix of musicianship and tongue in cheek humour of bands like Van Halen & The Darkness, alongside the modern rock polish of contemporaries Reckless Love & Heat.
‘Trouble in Paradise’ was recorded & mixed Sydney’s The Brain Studios with producer Clayton Segelov, mastered by Grant Berry at Fader Mastering in the UK.
