From the sun-soaked streets of Brisbane, emo rock outfit Bad Neighbour have spent the last few years carving out a rough-around-the-edges, heart-on-sleeve sound that’s unmistakably their own. Now, they’re ready to share news of their sophomore album, Burns From The X-rays, which is set for release Friday 5 June via Ninth Life Records. Ahead of its release, they unveil Rush Apart, a single that navigates young love. This weekend, the band will play Byron Bay’s Fuzz Fest, sharing the stage with Australian alt-rock mainstays, Faker.
For vocalist Cooper Riley, the upcoming album is a reflection of change and the uneasy territory between youth and adulthood: “In general, the album is one big love song. The good parts and the awful parts, but mainly it’s about outgrowing a time and a place. I felt very unneasy about my life changing and growing older these past few years, and I wanted this record to be a reflection of that feeling.”
