In the ever-evolving world of music, where genres and boundaries blur as artists strive for authenticity and innovation, Wattmore stands as a beacon of unique expression. Emerging from Brisbane, this cowpunk duo acclaimed in both country and rock press circles is set to release their sophomore single “Romantic Side.” The track, transcending traditional genre confines, serves as a poignant yet cheeky ode to love before it got hijacked by digital screens and superficial swipes.
“Romantic Side,” much like Wattmore’s debut “Circus Life,” thrives on a compelling blend of country, Americana, and rockabilly influences. It maintains a punk-driven pulse that forsakes conventions — think of it as a vintage jukebox infused with bourbon-soaked tales and raw storytelling. Crafted by the dynamic songwriting force of brothers Aiden and Kai Boak alongside legendary Allan Caswell, the track exudes nostalgic wit and vulnerable, honest truth.
Produced by the acclaimed Lindsay Waddington in LWM House Studios, “Romantic Side” features stellar musicianship from some of Australia’s best country players, all eager to join Wattmore’s creative journey.
The ambition behind this release is as broad as it is strategic, aiming to expand Wattmore’s influence across international landscapes in alt-country, Americana, and rockabilly spaces. This single is set as the keystone for building a global listener base, priming audiences for upcoming releases and anticipated tours. With a marketing campaign that smartly leverages social media energy, curated outreach, and targeted advertisements, Wattmore prepares to captivate audiences everywhere.
Characterized by its raw, authentic sound, “Romantic Side” positions itself unashamedly against the polished sheen of mainstream pop-country. It’s not just a song; it’s an anthem for those who find beauty in imperfection and humor in the absurdities of modern romance.
Whether you find solace in honest lyrics or crave a blend of energy and clever nostalgia, Wattmore’s “Romantic Side” is a stirring reminder of music’s power to transcend time and trend — a heartfelt duet between a busted-up heart and a wingman called bourbon.
Experience the unfiltered charm of “Romantic Side,” and join Wattmore as they trailblaze through alt-country Americana with unmatched spirit and authenticity.
