In The Face Of All We Know is described by the band as “an upbeat track that puts a hopeful twist on the notion that life is not black and white, there’s always an ‘other’ side to any story, and that ultimately, if we can respect each other’s differences, maybe we could all just get along”.

The video itself was self-produced by the band, with the concept and edit by drummer Paul who attentively put it together over a slew of late nights and YouTube instructional videos.

A poignant view on current times, Paul says, “The visuals emphasise key themes of communication, perspective, conflict, but ultimately with a thread of positivity and hope throughout, found in acknowledging the wide range of faces that are not our own.”

With solid support and pick-up across rock radio, Midwave Breaks continue to feel the love for new single In The Face Of All We Know by being added to numerous playlists including a choice inclusion on the Zane Lowe curated New Music Daily, on Apple Music.

Recorded in a farmhouse in rural New Zealand, In The Face Of All We Know was mixed in the U.S. by Grammy Award Winning Engineer Mark Needham, most notable for his work with The Killers and Imagine Dragons. The final touches were applied in New York at renowned mastering facility The Lodge, with the end result being a hook-laden alt-rock-pop tune poised to light up the airwaves.

A powerhouse of song-writing, production, musicianship, and live performance, the potent pairing of singer-songwriter-multi-instrumentalist Bruce Conlon and exemplary drummer Paul Russell is driven by the energy of the creative process. With each player displaying an innate ability to craft songs that capture a feeling and a moment, the two effortlessly combine a melting pot of musical influences from past to present, delivering a modern take on the soundtrack of their youth.

Bringing a heart-felt authenticity and musical versatility to the stage with their performances, the duo recently made the live connection to their audience with a sold-out debut headline concert, followed by a successful string of support shows nationwide around New Zealand.

Fans can expect more shows to be announced as we head into summer, stay tuned!
