As Flaming Wrekage’s brutal fourth album tickles your earholes, you know this is something special. …
Brisbane alternative-rockers The Comfort have announced their signing to Melbourne-based indie label Greyscale Records.
The band, who released their banger EP Love in 2016, announced the move, along with new single Mesada (pronounced may – sah – dah) through their Facebook page Thursday morning.
Vocalist Liam Holmes said of the tune that “Mesada isn’t informed by our past and doesn’t influence our future. It is a standalone moment in time, it’s about looking into yourself and how you interact with the world, seeing all the light and dark and realising your control, or lack of.”
He also added that the piece draws influence from his work with Huachuma in Peru, “…which I believe enables one to look at themselves and the world around them in a totally unique way and challenges thought processes in a way you may not be able to otherwise.”
The announcement caps off a huge year for The Comfort, who have toured with Young Lions, Storm The Sky, shared the stage with metalcore up-and-comers Polaris, and supported England’s Don Broco on the Brisbane show of their recent Australian tour.
As for being the latest Greyscale addition, Holmes shared his thoughts about the label itself and states how easy it was to form a strong relationship with label heads, Ash Hull and Joshua Merriel.
“As a band we pride ourselves on being honest and genuine and for us doing anything other than signing with Greyscale would have gone against that,” said Holmes.
“Ash and Josh have both personally supported us since we released our Love EP over a year ago and it was the most organic thing we could do to make our relationship formal,” he says.
“We are so excited to be a part of a roster that is home to some of the best talent in Australia and we can’t wait to show everyone what been working on; and being apart of Greyscale helping the Australian music scene grow as a whole.“
