Today, alternative Australian band Stand Atlantic have shared their new single ‘EDGE OF VEGAS’ via Virgin Music Group. The new single assumes a stand-out moment within the band’s recently announced fifth album GODBREATH, out Friday 23 October.

‘EDGE OF VEGAS’ emerges with one of the biggest, most immediate hooks Stand Atlantic have ever written – their knack for unguarded songwriting and sharp musicianship shapeshift into a memorable melodic track that’ll be stuck in the head for days. Masterfully refined and turning inward, the band explores the space between hustle and breaking point: the race towards chaos while teetering on the edge, ultimately realising that nobody gets through it solo. Unbounded by any self-inflicted pressures to chase a certain sound or feeling, the track emerges from a place of creative freedom. It captures a safe space in time where sidestepping every passing trend sees Stand Atlantic craft something timeless.

Vocalist and songwriter Bonnie Fraser continues, “I went into this album knowing that I was happy and having a great time, so I was just going to lean into that instead of trying to manufacture some wounded feeling. At the same time ‘Edge of Vegas’ is totally unfiltered. It’s as honest as we can be. As soon as we’re genuine in what we’re doing, we don’t have to try too hard to do anything. It is always the best outcome every time.”

On forthcoming album GODBREATH, Stand Atlantic venture into uncharted waters yet have never felt closer to home. Genuine feeling shines across the record – from the uncompromising, stream-of-consciousness songwriting of Bonnie Fraser, to the symbiotic musicianship captured in the live tracking of each recording. Wonderfully fierce and refreshingly free, the collection is littered with timeless and timely bangers, pulling as much from turn-of-the-century pop-rock vibrancy as modern day pop-punk bounce. Already teased by ecstatic new singles ‘Velcro and ‘LUCID, the body of work sees the band audaciously step out of their comfort zones, while connecting with their truest selves.

Over more than a decade together, Stand Atlantic have earned a reputation for shifting perceptions, pushing boundaries and finding new ways to make alternative music shimmer – quietly growing into one of the country’s most successful contemporary exports of the alternative world. Their extensive touring and electrifying live set has cemented their international acclaim, selling out headline shows and tens of thousands of tickets across Australia, the UK, Europe, USA and more. They’ve supported the likes of Sum 41MOD SUNONE OK ROCKA Day To Remember and I Prevail, while appearing at festivals around the globe including Spilt MilkGood ThingsReading & LeedsMAYDAY!, Warped TourSlam Dunk and many more. In another huge year of touring the band will be the main supporting act for Simple Plan arena shows in the UK, and special guests along a US tour with Story of the Year and Silverstein.

With GODBREATH, Stand Atlantic continue to evolve without losing sight of what made them one of alternative music’s most exciting bands in the first place, pushing their songwriting into bold new territory while building on the biggest chapter of their career to date.
