Alex the Kid new single and local shows
Perth punks Alex the Kid are back with a brand new single, Untitled, out 9th December. It follows the release of their debut album Speak Up, and will be included in Pee Records’ upcoming compilation Pee Approved 5.
The track was recorded by Ronan Martin (Jedi Sound Studio) and Aaron Maunder (Liquid Rock Studios), with Daniel Antix lending a hand in tracking the drums at Def Wolf Studios. Antix also mixed and mastered the track.
“The track speaks of someone that’s too used to their routine, afraid of change so they never get out and do something to better themselves,” says guitarist Dale Barker of the track. “We all challenged ourselves with this track and took a slightly different approach to our general writing process and I hope that comes through to our audience.”
