“TALKING STRAIGHT”

ROLLING BLACKOUTS COASTAL FEVER are back with a new single, the rollicking “TALKING STRAIGHT” in the run-up to their forthcoming LP titled ‘Hope Downs.’
The Melbourne based group further their quest in creating ramshackle indierock, the kind that borrows from the college & bedroom indie era of yore while giving the modern scene a much needed six-string shot in the arm. Rolling Blackouts C.F. continue their ascent after a couple of well received EPs as they prepare to release their debut album on a very well-known big league indie label.
“Talking Straight” is the kind of thing you’ve come to expect from the group; ragged guitars that jangle & take off, propulsive rhythm, & ear-wormy choruses that bury themselves inside your mealy mind. Over a concise & moving 3:44 clip, singer/guitarist Joe White laments over the concept of being truly alone in the universe but that we “could be lonely together.”
Rolling Blackouts C.F. create exactly what I need on warm summer days & affirms my belief in “Indierock” as a still viable genre…
