Streetlight

Having played over a hundred shows in the past few years, sharing stages with bands such as Gyroscope, Karnivool and Wolf & Cub, and playing at the Big Day Out festival, STREETLIGHT have become a loved staple in Perths ever-expanding live music scene.

This year has seen STREETLIGHT write and record their forthcoming EP,'Wolf Notes'. The 6-track EP was recorded in Western Australia with award-winning producer Dave Parkin (Sugar Army, Snowman, Red Jezebel). Featuring tracks including the standout rock single 'Red Sunrise' and the slow burning blues-rock epic 'Vietnam', Wolf Notes boasts a diverse array of sounds which still manage to demonstrate the cohesiveness of a band well beyond its years.

STREETLIGHTs 'Wolf Notes' will be released in Australia and New Zealand on October 11 through Winterborn Records / Inertia Distribution. The band will be hitting the road in celebration of the release at the end of the year - Keep an eye out for an announcement soon! In the meantime, catch STREETLIGHT at the following venues throughout October, or when they head out on tour with in WA in support of Something With Numbers.

(Single Of The Week) Streetlight have been kicking around the upper echelons of the Perth Scene for a few years now, but they've always felt like a "bridesmaid" band - you know, great but never quite the main event. Wolf Notes pushes them right up to "bride" status in this reviewer's mind. Streetlight hace made a lot of changes in the last year or so and it feels like they've finally figured out who they are with this EP. It's a far more mature, and significantly more poppy effort than their previous releases, but packed with energy and agression, and held together with some raw but extremely tight production. Watch The Empire Fall and Vietnam are standout tracks.

"The first two musical steps in Streetlight's career saw them able to show off a great sense of musical trickery, but have little to brag about in terms of actual 'song' writing. Wolf Notes makes no such mistake, and could very well serve as the band's debut, as it gives one the impression that Streetlight have finally found their feet. Hell, you'd be forgiven for not even recognising this as Streetlight, or at least thinking they've got a new singer, as this sounds nothing at all like their previous work - nor does it follow the band's previous predilection for over-complicating themselves.

With an infectious dance-crossover element akin to The Music throughout, Wolf Notes is a simpler and bolder Streetlight, packed with great melodies, great grooves, and a newfound confidence. Nothing displays this confidence more than Leigh Craft's vocals, which have gone from brooding, almost-miserable mumblings, to a flat-out, courageous-sounding powerhouse of tone, warmth and energy. Between this and the new Snowman album, Dave Parkin has finally evolved from engineer to producer, and in doing so has allowed a band like Streetlight to finally shine... and Wolf Notes is close to blinding."

"Streetlight is one of those bands in the midst of the indie-rock band breeding ground that is Perth that rises above, stands out and blows everyone out of the water. These guys have such a fantastic band dynamic you can feel the energy radiating from the stage. Every song was executed with flawless precision, which is no exaggeration, if you’ve ever caught one of their live shows. Every song was exceptionally impressive in its own way and each was equally as good as the last."
