Music News - Cub Sport Single & Album Announcement
20 February 2016 - 0 Comments
There are a handful of seminal bands from Brisbane, Australia—The Saints and The Go-Betweens, among them. But few have achieved the breakout success that the dreamy indie-pop group Cub Sport has in merely three years. The blissed-out, anthemic title track from their first EP, Told You So, attracted global attention, which in the U.S. alone vaulted it up the top 20 college-radio chart. And based on enthusiasm for that debut, their second EP, Paradise, won Stateside audiences, too, thanks to airplay at influential radio outlets such as KEXP, WXPN and KCRW.
Lead singer Tim Nelson originally from New Zealand (Dunedin) moved to Australia & has recently toured everywhere from Singapore to Philly (“Some people drove four hours to see us he says, the American crowd is dedicated!” he enthuses), Cub Sport also features guitarist Zoe Davis, drummer Dan Puusaari and keyboardist Sam Netterfield— and their hotly anticipated debut album This Is Our Vice (Nettwerk) will debut March 4th. If Nelson, who’s also the principle songwriter, has a superpower, it’s effortlessly transforming mercurial topics such as self-doubt and self-immolation into an expanse of shimmering harmonies and sticky melodies.
Cub Sport will be musically multitasking for months on end in 2016, with plans to bring their live show from their native Australia to North America the UK and potentially New Zealand Says Nelson, “We can’t wait to show people what we’ve been working on.” The single Come on Mess Me Up is streaming below!
