Gypsy Road Release Cathartic Post-Punk Single 'The 7 Stages Of Grief'
Fueled with passion and pain, Melbourne Midwest-Emo/ post-punk outfit Gypsy Road move through shock and denial to acceptance and hope with their new single, 'The 7 Stages Of Grief', on Friday, February 16. The release also comes with the announcement of their debut Album 'Letters To A Friend, From Interstate' set to be released by mid-2024.
Formed in 2017, Gypsy Road have three EPs under their belts, played sold-out shows around Melbourne and have supported bands like The Smith Street Band, Private Function and The Bennies. Now, working towards the release of the debut album, they come with waves of emotion with a growling and snarling plea in 'The 7 Stages Of Grief'.
Exploring the intense feelings when navigating a breakup, 'The 7 Stages Of Grief' manages to stir that head-spinning, shell-shocked sensation through a barrage of impassioned Aussie emo, post-punk.
Like facing each of the seven stages in a three-minute meltdown, the track moves through pensive, pattern-picked, overdriven guitar sections, hopeful melodies, smashing anthemic choruses and despairing walls of coarse and roaring vocals from frontman Alex Centofanti backed by female vocalist Peony Cain. Despite its moderate tempo, this hits hard and lingers long after.
Alex Centofanti speaks more on the meaning behind the track:
"This one is about mourning a breakup and feeling like someone you've loved has died. For the first time ever, we decided to include female vocals and screams, which was a new experience for us. I feel like it adds more depth to the intensity and passion."
Work through all of those emotions on Friday, February 16, when Gypsy Road release 'The 7 Stages Of Grief', and brace for the release of the debut Album 'Letters To A Friend, From Interstate' later this year.
