This morning’s selection comes all the way from Australia: grunge rockers Halfwait. For fans of Foo Fighters and Blink 182, their full-length The Official comes out this June and they are now sharing the single “Stand Alone.” This lyric video shows a different Australia than the one pictured by my American, untravelled imagination; its litter, train tracks, and chain link fences remind me of any urban area in my own backyard. Wardrobe was similar too. I guess some things are universal…
Vocal harmonies are a highlight of this song, but the lyrics are not reaching any uncharted territories. Maybe the band did this on purpose, but I saw some irony in making a video for a song called “Stand Alone” where the guys are all walking around together. What do you think, AltCtrlers?? Give the video a few spins and let us know your thoughts in the comments!
