Following the announcement of their self-titled debut album (set for release on Friday 29th July 2022) the Redland Bay larrikins, Beddy Rays share their feel-good hit of the summer “Sobercoaster”. The single is an unofficial anthem for those partying hard, burning the candle at both ends and romanticising late nights and early mornings. Speaking on their latest effort, frontman vocalist Jackson “Jacko” Van Issum comments: “Sobercoaster was written to contrast the priorities of now and the responsibilities of later. We have these older figures telling us to grow up and stop going out and running amok with our mates because we should be saving for a house and setting ourselves up for the future. But right now, I’m not even thinking about that stuff.” Jacko reflects, adding: “It’s really about living in the moment and knowing that one day when the bottle runs dry, we might end up joining the ‘Sobercoaster’, just not yet.” CLICK THE IMAGE BELOW TO CHECK OUT “SOBERCOASTER”
Produced by Brock Weston and Beddy Rays, and recorded at Brock’s Place in Brisbane, Beddy Rays features the thrashing Sort It Out, the chaotic Week On Repeat, the explosive Wait A While, a rowdy dose of Milk, the mosh-ready beast On My Own and Sobercoaster. Renowned for their raucous and undeniably boisterous live show, Beddy’s will kick off their Australian national album tour on Saturday 13th August on the Sunshine Coast and will travel to Perth, Brisbane, Byron Bay, Hobart, Wollongong, Newcastle, Sydney, Melbourne and Torquay with further shows to be announced. Tickets are now on sale HERE. Beddy Rays, composed of vocalist, guitarist and Woppaburra descendent Jacko Van Issum, lead guitarist Lewi McKenna, bassist Brad O’Connor and drummer Benny Wade, have been on the rise for the past couple of years. Their breakthrough anthem Sobercoaster landed at #54 on the triple j hottest 100, racked up over 3.5 million streams and has seen the band continue on a ballistic trajectory ever since. The four-piece have gained multiple nominations at both the Queensland Music Awards and National Indigenous Music Awards and were announced as winners of the Levi’s Music Prize in 2021 and rocked their cover of Thelma Plum’s Better in Blak for triple Like A Version. Beddy Rays have annihilated festival stages at Valley Fiesta, Summer Sounds, Play on the Plains, Super Fun Day, ShoreShocked and The Push and will perform at Spin Off this July alongside Glass Animals, Spacey Jane and Jack Harlow. The debut album Beddy Rays is out Friday 29th July 2022. BEDDY RAYS – AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL ALBUM TOUR
