Where They May

Debuting with raw vulnerability and unbridled energy, Melbourne's divedown presents their inaugural EP "Where They May", set for release on 29 May through Ninth Life Records. Led by the introspective single "Calm Me", the album delves deep into themes of anxiety, depression, and self-critique, encapsulated in a blend of pop punk urgency and contemplative heaviness. Notably, the EP showcases the band's growth, fusing punchy rhythms with emotive storytelling, drawing comparisons to the likes of Balance & Composure and Superheaven. With members culled from Melbourne's alt scene, divedown's poignant lyricism and evolving sound signal a remarkable debut that's as introspective as it is anthemic. RIYL: Balance & Composure, Superheaven, Movements, Arms Length, Hundredth, Bad Neighbour
