Flywire is gearing up to deliver Nits & Other Pests, a scrappy Aussie Anthem for the working class
Flywire’s debut EP, Nits & Other Pests, is an exhilarating dive into the gritty essence of Australian indie rock.
Scheduled for release on September 27th, this collection captures the raw spirit of the working class, making it a must-listen for fans of authentic, down-to-earth music.
Hailing from Victoria, Flywire brings a fresh take to the indie scene with echoes of Courtney Barnett, Cash Savage & the Last Drinks, and a splash of Killing Heidi.
Their sound is a perfect blend of unfiltered honesty and indie rock charm, perfect for those who appreciate music with a real pulse.
The EP opens with “Gronk,” a pub-rock anthem boasting chiming guitars and a steady beat that radiates classic Aussie swagger. With its candid lyrics and wry humor, it’s an anthem for anyone who’s ever had a rough night.
“Midland” shifts gears to a more introspective tone, showcasing lo-fi guitars and melancholic vocals. It’s a reflective piece that resonates with the vulnerability of youth, letting raw emotion take center stage.
“Dead Stupid” offers a barbed, driving beat reminiscent of Cash Savage’s fiery spirit, while “Dog” injects some 90s alt-rock flair with its cheeky, sardonic edge. The latter’s rebellious attitude is perfect for letting off steam and making a statement.
The EP’s closer, “Nits,” is a dynamic mix of melancholy and indie rock energy. It fuses grunge and pop-punk elements, hinting at Flywire’s potential for future experimentation and growth.
Flywire’s straightforward songwriting and vivid imagery make Nits & Other Pests both personal and universally relatable. Their raw, unpolished sound adds an extra layer of authenticity, ensuring their music resonates deeply with listeners.
Melbourne might be falling in love with these “country kids” first, but with an EP this strong, there’s room for the rest of us to join the party.
Catch Flywire’s EP launch at the Tote Hotel on September 27th, the eve of Grand Final. It’s set to be a night of memorable, unpretentious rock. Don’t miss out—grab your tickets and join the celebration. For more details, check out the event page here.
