Sydney’s Dear Seattle are here to serve you another dose of headbanging, beer-in-the-sky melodic grunge rock with new single ‘Afterthought’, the follow up track to their break out single ‘The Meadows’. Bigger, better, and more anthemic, the second single off their upcoming EP is once again made unique by their high impact sing-along choruses reminiscent of early 90’s grunge in a similar vein of Aussie favourites Violent Soho, Luca Brasi, and Tired Lion, mixed with the punk rock sounds of Trophy Eyes, PUP, or Columbus.
The video for new single ‘Afterthought’ follows on from ‘The Meadows’ video storyline, as the protagonist wakes up from the party to discover a whole set of consequences.

In anticipation of the July 7th release for their new EP “Perspective”, DFB brings us the lyric video for their second single “Domino via No Clean Singing’s website.
The video makes effective use of the surreal, otherworldly cover art, and the music, mixed and mastered by Julian Rodriguez (ex Elitist) at Parallel Focus Studios, is both physically jolting and has a dreamlike atmosphere with a catchy melody at its core. Fans of heavy rhythms, energetic instrumentation and soaring clean vocals, paired up with some serious growls and bone-crushing screams are bound to find something to sink their teeth in and keep them satisfied for the time being, until Perspective drops this summer.
