Performing at the Prince of Wales Hotel on Friday, July 27, Perth band Turtle Bay Television will deliver a show full of new tracks.
The group celebrated the release of its sophomore EP – Scared of Everything – on June 22.
The EP was largely written and recorded by vocalist and guitarist Thomas Cockram, who describes the release as: “more personal than our previous work, whist still keeping true to our recognisable sound”.
The EP reflects upon his personal process of being diagnosed with a mental illness and the resulting combination of confusion and morbid relief.
Scared of Everything seeks to make sense of these conflicting states of mind and distills this self-analysis into erudite, alternative post-punk, with hints of both noise pop and new wave.
The band have existed in various incarnations since 2012 but have settled on a consistent line-up, with the recent addition of a sax player, second vocalist, and trumpet player.
After finding their feet in the local scene, they went on to share the stage with Tired Lion, Felicity Groom, Ziggy Ramo, and JFK.
Turtle Bay Television’s style has led to a sound somewhere between Sonic Youth, the Pixies, The National and Broken Social Scene.
