Brisbane Indie Rock Artist SAMMM. Returns With New Single “Stronger Now”
Samuel Geddes, the brain behind Brisbane-based indie rock act SAMMM., has shared his latest single “Stronger Now”.
Infused with ’00s slacker-pop, post-punk, and themes of self-improvement, “Stronger Now” delves into his first-hand experience with addiction and its effect on the relationships in his life.
He elaborates: “When I wrote ‘Stronger Now’, I was watching addiction destroy my relationships, almost as if I was viewing my life from the outside, making choices that weren’t my own. The lyrics, “wasted youth” came out so easily because I felt that I had lost so many younger years to drugs and bad choices. Then I’d be face-to-face with depression and anxiety again, and drugs felt like a safe constant for me“.
“I think in retrospect ‘Stronger Now’ is a tribute to the friends that had to give up on me because I know it’s hard to support an addict in a downward spiral. ‘Stronger Now’ was my mantra that I wasn’t giving up on myself yet.”
With his positivity at the helm, his jagged vocals and Cribs-esque jangle-guitar rock energy makes for a piercing combination. Fans of 2010’s Brit-pop will find a familiar energizing quality within the new single.
