Sydney four piece, Dande and The Lion, bring forth their latest hard hitting indie-pop single ‘Harder To Breathe’. The dual front women Abbey Gardner and Natassa Zoe shine on this track featuring an eclectic balance of emotion driven lyrics, whilst keeping the same high energy as their recent successful release, ‘Cheap Choice’.
“Harder To Breathe is a song about reflecting on a time when you were influenced to a point where you no longer recognised yourself. It’s acknowledging that this person changed your core, but you’re not going to let it happen again because you can see now that their influence wasn’t coming from a place of love”. Abbey Gardner (Vocalist, Synth, Guitar)
The song is further elevated by the dreamy production from ARIA-nominated, Xavier Dunn (Jack River, GRAACE), as well as the mix and master by Klaus Hill (Masked Wolf).
“I remember having a d&m session with the band about the situation, and having them all hype me up. Shortly after, we were jamming on Harder to Breathe and the lyrics just flowed so easily. Harder to Breathe originally started being created while we were listening to a lot of Tigertown’s music, especially ‘Lonely Cities’. We wanted to try writing a song with an anti-chorus and once we started jamming on the idea, the song wrote itself.” Abbey Gardner (Vocalist, Synth, Guitar)
The band have been creating music together since 2017, playing over 100+ shows in acclaimed venues along the Australian east coast, such as Oxford Art Factory (main stage), Factory Theatre, the Lansdowne Hotel and the Workers Club. Their musicianship has developed over the years, recently releasing new singles that have caught the attention of Triple J (Home & Hosed), MTV (Upload of the Week), The Music, Scenstr and Happy Mag.
Celebrate with them at their launch party at Waywards, Newtown on Friday, September 23. Supports from The Bernies & In Good Hands Tickets

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.
