We are not new to Australian alt-rock newcomers Patient Lounge. Although… they are not so much ‘newcomers’ anymore. In fact, they are sort of a best-kept-secret. Receiving strong support from local fans and Aussie discovery platforms, the group is working hard to achieve their big moment. If their latest single ‘Hard Truth’ is anything to go by, we suspect their moment might arrive soon.
The keen reader might remember us featuring Patient Lounge before. We have been watching them, that’s also why we are so excited about their latest record. The first release of the year, ‘Hard Truth’, signals the band’s return to the scenes with a track that continues on the glorious path set by its predecessor. In a sea of distorted guitars and punchy drums, Patient Lounge paints poignant vibes, offering material that exudes energy and solace.
You can catch a glimpse of nu-metal, next to more common alt-rock influences. Eventually, it’s this personal formula that carries the project to the limelight: that’s something unequivocally theirs, something instantly recognizable. While the single leaves you longing for more, you won’t have to wait: an upcoming EP is on the horizon.
