Band Spotlight
This spot is going to be used to highlight bands we love or bands you should know about. We’ll keep the bands within the genres/scenes we cover. But without further ado, our band for this week is…
Yours Truly
The past decade has seen Sydney, Australia, become a hotbed for underground music, with emo, pop-punk, and hardcore acts catapulting from local heroes to worldwide phenomenons. For years, Yours Truly watched their fellow countrymen and women take the next leap–and now the Sydney-based quartet are poised for a similar breakthrough of their own.
The Sydney pop-punkers have dropped their hotly anticipated new EP Afterglow, available now via UNFD.
Featuring latest singles, “I Can’t Feel” and “Circles,”Afterglow is a collection of songs about the strength within that show a young band ready to take on the world. Fans can purchase the album online at unfd.lnk.to/Afterglow, or stream it on Spotify and Apple Music.
