Fast-approaching the release of their debut album, Seasons, set for release on October 30, today Naarm/Melbourne group Among The Restless return armed with a vulnerable yet driving alt-rock gem in the form of a brand new single, 6 Years Of Madness.
Capturing the euphoria of 2000s Australian indie flavours with a modern alt pop sound, 6 Years Of Madness feels simultaneously nostalgic yet forward-facing. Balancing jangly instrumentation, driving beats and soaring melodies, the album finds Among The Restless at their reflective yet riveting best, complete with buoyant earworm choruses and a heartfelt bridge that oozes into a final flourish. “6 Years Of Madness is straight to the point but gentle and not afraid to let a sensitive topic rear its head for all to see,” shares the band. “It has the elements of an alt rock track, which is where our roots are as a band, so we got to dig in and hone in on what we love. It covers some pretty personal struggles faced by Lachie [Dunn], but we aren’t afraid to shy away from that. It’s a loud and proud, bold final single.”
Following the release of their debut album next month, Among The Restless will also embark on their Seasons Tour, heading to Wollongong, Sydney, Canberra and San Remo in November and December, and kicking off 2027 with a bang with a run through the Gold Coast, Byron Bay, Brisbane and Melbourne in January.
