The alternative Australian music collab of your dreams is here. Stand Atlantic teamed up with Polaris to fuse metalcore and pop-punk in their new single “CRIMINAL” with a corresponding music video. The track is set to appear on Stand Atlantic‘s forthcoming record WAS HERE, due out August 23 via Hopeless Records.
“’CRIMINAL’ is a small insight into how it can feel to be in this industry. It sometimes feels like you gotta keep your life a certain level of fucked up so you can make art that comes from a real place,” Stand Atlantic vocalist Bonnie Fraser says. “I found myself wanting to invite the pain in and sometimes go looking for it. Just to create some cool shit that gets sold by people who at times may not give a damn about how you got there.”
Fraser continues, “It felt so right to have Polaris on this track. Dan [Furnari] and I personally bonded over this exact topic on a night out [a]fter the song was already written so it felt like fate. We have wanted to work together for so long so having another Australian artist we absolutely love was a pure blessing and created a perfect storm.”
Beginning on July 10, you can see Stand Atlantic across the States on the idobi Radio Summer School Tour along with Magnolia Park, The Home Team, Scene Queen, Honey Revenge, and Letdown. You can secure your tickets here.
