Known for delivering emo-infused belters stacked with rousing riffs and self-examining lyrics, Meanjin-based punk/rock outfit Talk Heavy are making their turbocharged return today with brand new single The Song That Plays (When Marissa Shoots Trey).
The four-piece emo/punk dynamos made a head-snapping debut in 2022, landing milestone successes at every turn, from their hit single filled EP ‘Jump Into Nothing’, their first ever live performance at BIGSOUND, touring nationally with Press Club and landing on the New World Artists roster.
Now, Talk Heavy are back with their most personal song to date, written about letting go of habits that hold you back as singer Matt Cochran looks towards personal growth, resilience and self-confidence (with a nostalgic yet seemingly unrelated song title referencing 2000s hit TV show The O.C).
“To put it simply, ‘The Song That Plays (When Marissa Shoots Trey)’ is about recognising the bad space you’re in, what trauma or response pushed you into that position and making the statement of ‘fuck it, I’m done with this and need to move forward,’” Matt explains.
