“This explodes like a firecracker that’s spontaneously combusted.”
– Dom Alessio, Triple J
.
“How do you do that? Start with such a lovely, full, urgent pace… and then manage to BUILD on it? A standout track of yours for sure.”
– Gemma Pike, Triple J
.
“This track is so precious. I just want to wrap it up in gold and put it in it’s special spot. I love the story, the build and the growth.”
– Claire Mooney, Triple J
.
“Give Me Yours does a remarkable job of encapsulating that passion and professionalism in a tight, infectious three-and-a-half minutes”
– The Music
.
“Thunderous, reflective”
– Rolling Stone

“We wanted a visual that really encapsulated the grand nature of the song. Big extravagant hall, spurts of natural light, and lots of space. Rush (director) is a bit of a visual genius, so he used the glitchy characteristics of the guitars to help guide the editing process. For the final scene we wanted to capture this explosion of flowers to coincide with the chaotic ending of the song. There was a kids ballet class going on downstairs whilst we were shooting the video, and we were short of hands, so we asked a bunch of kids and ballet mums if they would be keen on throwing flower at us…. which they were.”
– Jorjee Haman (vocals/guitar)

After a successful 2015 off the back of releases, “Suay” and “Light It Up”, CREO spent majority of 2016 working with long-time friend/producer Nathan Sheehy (Birds of Tokyo, Bluejuice, Dune Rats) on what would become the Sydney quartet’s upcoming EP titled ‘Subtitles for X, Y, Z’, due August 25.
A record that the four-piece say is “not afraid to flirt with nostalgia, whilst establishing the notion of hopefulness for whatever the next chapter may be”, we first heard EP opener “Behind The Beat” earlier this year, and now they reveal the first official single “Give Me Yours”.
.
“I go through these waves of emotions where I want something so bad I’ll kick everything I know and love to get it. ‘Give Me Yours’ is all about that undying desperation to achieve, love and be loved or in more general terms; whatever it is you long for that nothing else in the world matters anymore, almost to the point of an unhealthy obsession.” – Jorjee Haman (vocals)
.
Building a reputation for being an incredible live act, CREO’s ability to translate their meticulously textured indie-rock sound into a ferociously loud and energetic free-for-all is one of the key elements that made people sit up and take notice. After gaining some support from national broadcaster Triple J and countless community stations around the country, CREO toured nationally supporting the likes of British India, Tired Lion, Bad//Dreems, Last Dinosaurs and Spookyland, and sold out all of their respective hometown (Sydney) shows.
