Adelaide/Tarndanya-based alternative rock and metalcore outfit Throwaway are getting at it with their lead single Getting To Me (October 14) from their upcoming sophomore EP Weight (November 11).
With an album, an EP and a handful of singles already under their belt, the three-piece composed of Zak Kerrison, Adrian Emili and Bailey O’Brien have left no stone unturned with this latest single. Incorporating elements from metalcore and alternative rock, Throwaway dabble with unusual time signatures and unique songwriting techniques to propel their live performances across South Australia.
Getting To Me illustrates the breaking point; the pent-up pressure boiling to burst; the eruption of emotion over a situation you can’t sleep off. The progressive rock drums provide the push and pull in the verses, portraying the shaky ground at the meltdown before regaining its pulse in the chorus. The cranked guitar tones are in line with the booming Adelaide alternative music scene, but break free from the noise with gliding lead guitar runs and rhythmically entertaining chugs reminiscent of Plini and I Built The Sky. Tastefully mastered by Callan Orr from Dream on Dreamer, Getting To Me is another great Australian alt-rock track for fans of Hands Like Houses and Polaris.
