The Bankes Brothers are well-versed in anthemic, high-octane rock music, and with "Waited All Night," the new track from their recent EP "Where Do We Go From Here?," they bring their sound to thrilling new heights. Helmed by Gus van Go with co-producer Steve Bays, the song embodies everything strong about the band's heart and grit, as well as its stadium-warfare sound.
Nelson Bankes has the distinctive sound of raw honesty leaving the mouth of someone who's clearly both frustrated and liberated. The band matches that energy note for note, creating music that sounds both timeless and immediate. Urged on by propulsive rhythm, punchy guitars, and a melody of a hook that's born to be played out loud.
The narrative surrounding its genesis only makes it all the more charming. With its lyrics, the song delves into the frustration of being taken for granted by someone you care for and the liberation that sinks in as you finally realize it's not worth your time. With "Waited All Night," The Bankes Brothers demonstrate that they not only know how to write a banger, but also have a talent for alchemising real feelings into a dance community.
