Tauranga Alt-Rock duo Midwave Breaks are set to storm the Rock Airwaves again with their scorching new single Stonewall.

Listen Here

Clocking in at under 3 minutes, Stonewall delivers a sonic punch from the outset, fusing retrospective dirty-rock-n-roll with a fresh-rock aesthetic, and merging seamlessly with the pulsating energy of a signature Midwave Breaks chorus, offering yet another sing-along anthem for their growing fanbase across Aotearoa.

Stonewall channels the same high-octane energy as the band’s recent radio hit Souvenirs, which secured it’s place as the most played kiwi song on NZ Rock Radio across April-June, climbing to #2 and spending over 4 months in the top 10 Radioscope Rock Chart, as well as coming in at #198 on the listener-voted Rock 2000 countdown, the highest Kiwi debut for 2023.

The dynamic collaboration of Bruce Conlon (singer-songwriter & guitarist), and renowned NZ Music Hall of Fame Drummer Paul Russell (ex-Supergroove, Che Fu) have spent the past few months in the studio diligently crafting new material, and are stoked to unveil Stonewall as a first glimpse into a new wave of inspired creativity.

Drummer Russell explains Stonewall’s unconventional origin:

“So Bruce hit his pop-up pool with the lawnmower, putting a hole in it, and had to take it down. He’d been putting it off for a while, and as he was heading out to dismantle it, was thinking to himself “I don’t wanna do it but I gotta do it”, and very quickly that became a phrase he was singing in his head, which formed the basis and the opening line of the track!”
