“Tell Me” by Poison Oak stirs a sonic anthem of inner struggles to lost connections.

The independent punk rock band Poison Oak, hailing from Townsville, is recognized for their ability to convey deep, emotionally charged lyricism resonance through their upbeat rock energy and jangly guitar compositions. Their latest single, “Tell Me,” presents a compelling auditory experience characterized by an irresistible melody that immediately engages listeners. The track encapsulates a longing that intensifies with each guitar riff, ultimately culminating in a powerful climax evoked by dynamic drumming. This piece is crafted with the intention of being performed live, embodying an introspective yet anthemic, as well as relatability paired with a striking dynamic catharsis that invites audience participation. This release offers a second preview of their forthcoming album, demonstrating Poison Oak’s refined aptitude for delivering an anthemic narrative.

Thematically, “Tell Me” explores the emotional struggle associated with observing an individual’s gradual mental and spiritual withdrawal. It recounts the experience of disconnection and the confinement of a monotonous existence, where familiarity breeds a profound sense of emptiness. Poison Oak adeptly articulates this inner conflict and the silent pressures imposed by society with a candidness that resonates with those who have experienced feelings of disorientation within the constraints of contemporary life. This composition advocates for authenticity amid a world often subdued by routine and societal expectations.

Energetically, the track combines a comforting yet rebellious spirit, representing an optimal mixture of indie rock angst and punk defiance. “Tell Me” poses inquiries and demands substantive responses, reflecting the universal search for meaning in an increasingly chaotic environment. With its vibrant undertones and compelling energy, Poison Oak is poised to establish a significant presence with this anthem of self-reflection and resistance. The invitation to engage with “Tell Me” is a poignant reminder of the essence of being truly alive.

Ava Valianti turns self-doubt into art with “Laugh Track”

In her new single, “Laugh Track,” Ava Valianti takes us on a peculiar journey through her thoughts and feelings, which many can connect to. With a mix of dark humor and raw honesty, Ava shares her experience of feeling like life is more of a series of awkward moments rather than a smooth story where she’s the star.

Drawing inspiration from movies and shows that explore deep emotions, like The Truman Show and How I Met Your Mother’s Ted Mosby, “Laugh Track” captures the unsettling feeling of always being on stage, even when nobody’s watching. It resounds with anyone who has sat alone and questioned whether the laughter around them is meant for them or at their expense.

The song combines deeper sounds with a light, catchy vibe, making its heavy themes approachable enough for dancing. Ava’s voice is strong and open, giving each line an authentic feeling that hits home.

“Laugh Track” is a stand-out because it embraces chaos. Ava doesn’t wrap up her insecurity and self-doubt in a tidy package. Instead, she celebrates the messiness of life and finds comfort in the imperfect characters we often see on TV and in ourselves. “Laugh Track” mirrors our experiences. Like the best comedy shows, it makes you laugh, feel uncomfortable, and reminds you that you’re not alone in your struggles.
