Music News - Midwave Breaks are 'Standing Inside Out'
21 June 2024 - 0 Comments
Standing Inside Out, the second single and title track from the band’s recent EP, delivers an exhilarating up-tempo ride, with ascending guitar motifs, intricate melodies, and a hook-laden chorus that harks back to the layered vocal harmonies of iconic 1980's pop-rock anthems.
Singer-songwriter-guitarist Bruce Conlon and drummer Paul Russell have been riding a wave of support at Rock Radio, with five independent singles in the Top 10 Radioscope Rock Chart and a further five in the Top 20. Their hard graft and growing success was recently acknowledged with a Best Rock Act finalist nod at the prestigious Aotearoa Music Awards in May.
Fans can catch Midwave Breaks performing Standing Inside Out Live for the first time as they return to the stage in Mount Maunganui on Saturday July 13.
Reflecting on the challenges of translating the studio sound to the stage, drummer Paul Russell shared, “As a duo, we construct our songs layer by layer in the studio. With Standing Inside Out it wasn’t until afterwards we realised the unique live challenge for Bruce, balancing vocals and guitar at the same time, as there’s a lot going on. Thankfully, Bruce is a pro, but I may need to take over the mic between tracks so he can catch a breath after this one!”
The Totara Street headline show marks Midwave Breaks’ first hometown performance in over a year, with support from rising local talent Bloody Overalls from Otumoetai High School. The event is open to both 18+ and supervised under 18s, offering younger fans a chance to experience a full-noise rock 'n' roll show when accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
