Have you ever wondered what the recipe for success is? Ask The Meantime, who’ve served up just that with their latest single, Telepathetic.

It’s the first taste of new music from the band in years, and oh man, was it worth the wait. Telepathetic has a 90s retro feel but with a modern twist.

The band has thrown grunge, punk, hard rock and alternative into the melting pot, adding their own signature flair and it’s led to one genre-bending good time. And all you gig-goers are in luck. The track shines thanks to fully charged riffs, clanging drum beats, and surging vocals. It’s tailor-made for a headbanging and singalongs, and that makes it so kickass. 

If this were the early 2000s, we’d be headed straight to Sanity to grab Telepathetic and give it a new home in our Walkmans

It’s clear the Central Coast natives had the likes of Grinspoon, Silverchair and Nirvana on blast in rehearsal.  Telepathetic, in all its raw, grimy glory, pays tribute to these seminal acts. Oh, and we’re not even started on the lyrics yet. The band was influenced by the very human experience of being stuck in a bad place and wanting to get out without knowing how. It’s ultra-relatable and provides a huge sense of comfort.

If this were the early 2000’s, we’d be headed straight to Sanity to grab Telepathetic and give it a new home in our Walkmans.  The Meantime are on to a winner here. If their next singles are just as good, their future will be bright.

STICK THIS NEXT TO: Grinspoon, Silverchair, Nirvana
