Aussie Indie Rockers Bakers Eddy Deliver Anthemic New Single “Sober” Off Upcoming Debut LP ‘Love Boredom Bicycles’

Having released a handful of infectious singles over the last few months (including personal favourite “Hi-Vis Baby”), Melbourne surf-punks Bakers Eddy have shared their latest track “Sober”, off their forthcoming debut record Love Boredom Bicycles out March 25th via Ivy League Records.

An untiring anthem nodding to the confusion and insecurity of growing up, “Sober” is rich with the band’s youthful energy and summery surf-rock demeanour. Built on fast guitar chords and a sing-along chorus, “Sober” blurs weariness into humour and melody.

Having been a band since they were 12-year-old kids in Wellington, and now 12 years later all living together having moved to Australia, they couldn’t be tighter friends. It’s a closeness they like to bring with them into the studio. “We’re all in the same room when we’re recording. Like when Jamie’s recording drums, we squeeze in tight around him, in this giant room we’re all in nice and tight and I’m running around Jamie, and just like causing havoc and then we make a point to yell random shit,” says vocalist Ciarann Babbington. “For this record music came second and bullshit came first,” jokes bassist Ian Spagnolo.

It was all about creating an environment where energy and spirits are high. “Even when we were recording guitar and bass,” says Alex Spagnolo, “we’d all be standing up and hopping along and shit like that, not just sitting there, trying to get everything perfect.” For the band it was about vibe over everything. “We made a point of making it sound more like the demos, cos when the demos were recorded at home we were often having a bit of a party,” says Ciarann. “It’s like, let’s be loud and have some fun.”
