Brisbane vibe punks WAAX certainly know how to kick off a year. With their single ‘Same Same’ still spinning on triple j, the “utterly terrifying” quintet have just been announced as national supports for alt-rock behemoths Kingswood – and to celebrate, WAAX today release their video for the venerated single.
On an unforgivingly humid Brisbane day, the five-piece took over a small warehouse with filmmakers Creative Clones. Armed with smoke machines and covered in their own sweat, they embarked on a sixteen-hour journey to create a visual representation of frontwoman Marie DeVita’s lyrics, exploring anxiety within the mundane repetitiveness of life.
Known for their raucous live shows, WAAX released their most recent single ‘Same Same’ late last year. The accolades quickly followed – an instant add to rotation on triple j, rotation on Sydney’s FBi radio, and kudos from tastemaking blogs and new & longtime fans alike. Previous cut ‘This Everything‘ was the first single from their upcoming second EP, which promises a new direction for the band, and is to be released this year. In addition to the Kingswood tour, WAAX also play The Mountain Goat Valley Crawl this Saturday.
