PRESS CLUB DROP NEW SINGLE ‘CHAMPAGNE & NIKES’

With their first taste of new music for 2024, Melbourne/Naarm four piece Press Club independently release ‘Champagne & Nikes’. 

The track, which premiered on UK's Radio 1 Rock Show, came to life as a scratchy, bass guitar-only voice memo. Sonically, the band revived the buzz saw guitar tones, moving bass lines and driving drums of their debut LP Late Teens. A song that is about an intrinsically chaotic moment of mayhem. Lyrically it recounts a moment where Natalie and Iain were buying Guinness (the song's prenatal working title) for the band's album recording sessions. 

Lead singer Natalie Foster recalls the experience, "If I tried to tell you the story of this person's interaction with the person behind the counter, you'd think I was recounting something from a dream. It was so outlandish and erratic I could barely believe it was happening in front of me”.

"When we set out writing Champagne & Nikes we wanted to create something that had a similar energy and feeling to some of the songs we wrote when we first started writing together for Late Teens. I think we nailed that intent. It was pretty fun to just blow the barn doors open and get back to the bare essentials of what I think Press Club is." Press Club bassist Iain MacRae

At home on the road, Press Club have returned to Australia to support Grinspoon on an eye watering 45 date national Australian tour which kicked off last month and runs through to December.
