Support for ‘SHAME’
“A subtle approach to shoegaze-y post-punk that emphasises the pop nature of their songwriting without quietening down the layers of guitar and bass that form its backbone”. – Pilerats (AUS)
Premiered on triple j’s Home & Hosed

Byron Bay-based indie-rock quartet SEASIDE have just unveiled their dreamy and dark new single ‘Shame’ – produced by the band themselves and mixed by Paul Pilsneniks (The Mars Volta, Boy & Bear, Silverchair).
‘Shame’ is a melancholic slice of lively post-punk that combines themes of dream-pop, garage-rock and shoegaze. Opening with reverb-soaked guitars, steadfast drums and fuzz-laden bass, the track maintains an unwavering and washed-out dynamic; a fitting foundation for the hypnotic melodies of front woman Darcy Dexter.
Dexter describes the motivation behind ‘Shame’: “’Shame’ is about the people in power not listening to what we really need as a society, turning a blind eye when we need them most. It is a message that if we stand together, we are able to create a positive change”.
Previous singles have been widely embraced by the likes of Australian radio stations triple j, triple j Unearthed, FBi, 3RRR, PBS FM, 4ZZZ, 2XX FM, Bay FM and Edge Radio.
The tracks have also received strong support from tastemaker outlets Pilerats, Life Without Andy, The Revue (CAN) and Indie Obsessive (USA), and Spotify via their playlist’s New Music Friday (USA) and (AU/NZ), Front Left, Chilled Afternoon, Brekkie Time, The Office Stereo, Low Key Weekend, Australian Viral 50, Indie Arrivals and Gegen den Strom.
In the live arena, the group have toured Australia multiple times, selling out headline shows and sharing stages with Last Dinosaurs, Angus and Julia Stone, The Jungle Giants and Lime Cordiale, and also performing at mainstay festivals Splendour in the Grass, Party in the Paddock, Summersalt Festival, BIGSOUND Festival and Grampians.
In the coming weeks SEASIDE will reveal an accompanying music video for ‘Shame’.
‘Shame’ is available worldwide now

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.
