Sydney punk rockers, Bare Bones, are today releasing their brand new track “Rust“, which comes as the second single to be plucked from an upcoming album entitled ‘Rival Minds‘, out Friday November 1! The album will be released through iconic Sydney label Resist Records.
Following on from “Crawl The Night”, which came as the first offering of new music in two years and is the track currently leading the way for ‘Rival Minds’, “Rust” is about the three stages of life – it explores the nostalgia of youth, the turmoil of adulthood, and the reality of death. Vocalist Thomas Kennedy says “lyrically, Rust takes inspiration from Shakespeare’s concept “Seven Ages of Man”, and casts a reflection on childhood memories from the contrasting perspective of adulthood, and projects to the final stages of life with the surrender of our corporeal form.”
The music video is directed by Blake Curby with additional direction by Wendy Pham and Dane Wang and features Bare Bones performing their new single while short videos that narrate the circle of life flash to the forefront to punctuate the play through. Videos of plants in bloom, children playing, people growing and animals degrading are shown to compliment the theme of the three stages of life.
The brand new album ‘Rival Minds’ is produced by Stevie Knight at Electric Sun (Tonight Alive, Dream On Dreamer, Yours Truly), mixed by James Paul Wisner (Underoath, Paramore, Hands Like Houses) and mastered by Grant Berry (You Me At Six, All Time Low). Thomas explains that as a whole, the album deals with “the duality, the light and dark of the human mind, both introspectively, and outwardly.”
“Rust” is out now and available through iTunes & Apple Music/Spotify/Google Play and all good online stores and streaming outlets. ‘Rival Minds’ will be available through Resist Records Friday November 1, with pre-orders available at: https://shop.resistrecords.com/products/barebonesrivalmindslp.
