Perth pop-punk favourites Nautical Mile are officially back, returning with their nostalgic new single, Daydreamer. The track will make its live debut at the band’s first show in four years at Amplifier Bar in Perth on Saturday, March 28.
Daydreamer is an energetic, heart-on-sleeve throwback that taps into the nostalgia of simpler times, before adulthood and the grapplings of growing up set in. Written just before the band went on an indefinite hiatus, the track found new life when Nautical Mile began jamming again in 2024, quickly revealing itself as the perfect reintroduction.
Bursting with the same upbeat spirit that defined their debut album The Only Way Is Through, Daydreamer leans into the bright hooks, driving guitars and energy that first put the band on the radar. It reflects on better days and on reclaiming the feeling of who you were before life got complicated.
“During our time away we all had a fair amount of life happening, so coming back to the band felt like us recapturing the spirit of those happier, lighter times,” says the band. “It’s a lot of fun to play, and we’re keen to get out and share it with the world.”
