Praise for CUB SPORT
“Cub Sport’s fierce honesty and torn-open vulnerability is exactly the beauty we need in a world torn apart…A horde of hopefuls will find solace within Like Nirvana, yet the hopeless will feel heard, and lovers of pop will obsess over its hooks and 80s reinvention.” – Rolling Stone Australia [4.5 stars]
“Nelson has achieved transcendence on ‘LIKE NIRVANA’, building his own church where queer love, begetting self-love, is something sacred and unassailable. Stadium-sized glory might be painfully out of reach right now, for reasons beyond their control – but on ‘LIKE NIRVANA’, Cub Sport make a compelling case for post-pandemic superstardom.” – NME Australia [5 stars]
“Tim Nelson, from Brisbane band Cub Sport, has one of the country’s most captivating voices.” – The Daily Telegraph [4 stars]
“LIKE NIRVANA becomes a landmark moment in Australian pop, contextualising Nelson’s life and art on a universal scale.” – The Guardian
“LIKE NIRVANA celebrates love and vulnerability with a curiosity that’s become totally distinct to this continually astonishing act.” – STACK

Brisbane four-piece CUB SPORT are delighted to share their hotly anticipated fourth studio album LIKE NIRVANA today, out now via Cub Sport Records and Believe. Across the course of 13 bright and full-blooded, desperately and beautifully alive songs, front-person and songwriter Tim Nelson dives into a tightly woven exploration of religious reckoning, feelings of inadequacy and oppressive structures of masculinity.

Of the album, Tim shares: “It sounds a little cliché but this album has helped me find and love myself more deeply. I listen to this album and I can see, hear, feel ‘me.’ It’s the gentle and powerful energy of the introvert empath who, for some reason, is drawn to the light, even though they’re scared of it sometimes and feel more at home in the shadows.
LIKE NIRVANA is an embracing of the journey, rather than a need to see and understand the destination. It’s about learning my own worth outside of other peoples’ perception of me. I wanted to strip all of that away and form my own self not built by others.
I think this album is so uplifting because it doesn’t shy away from the shadows, it embraces both the light and dark with warmth and I hope it sets other people free in ways that it’s done for me.”
From beginning to end, LIKE NIRVANA is emotional and elemental. The new record navigates listeners through a journey of fearlessness, growth, and identity. The release features previous singles ‘Confessions’, ‘Drive’ and ‘I Feel Like I Am Changin” along with ‘Break Me Down’, a seven-minute triumph with longtime friend Mallrat and album highlight ‘Be Your Man’, a power ballad with a stunning new visual, which premiered yesterday via PAPER Magazine, watch HERE.
LIKE NIRVANA has already earned praise from The Guardian and near perfect reviews from The Daily Telegraph and The Herald Sun, as well as Rolling Stone Australia who dubbed Nelson “one of this generation’s most gifted songwriters,” and NME Australia, who praised the release as the band’s “most stunning LP yet.”

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
