Doing what it says on the tin, you won’t be able to resist a good headbang to the newest track from Wicked Things.

Australian quartet Wicked Things have pretty much described exactly what they are with their newest single, The Rocker. It’s a show of head-banging melodies, exhilarating guitar licks and enough passion to make you feel like you’re capable of doing anything. Although it’s only the band’s fourth single, it certainly swaggers with much more confidence and oozes more attitude than would be expected and that makes the track all the more tantalising.

The band traces the roots of the track back to a European tour in 2019, when they had the idea of creating a track just to make people move; The Rocker will get you moving and doing so much more, as it fires pure adrenaline through your veins and pumps you up with doses of guitars, so contagious that it should be illegal. It’s the exact type of rebellion and energy that one would want from rock and roll, and the lyrics fit the cliché too as it challenges the normalised full-day work lifestyle that many people are ensnared in. If you didn’t feel roused to do anything to challenge this before, you might change your mind after listening to the track as it kicks up a raucous, feel-good energy that not even the strongest of wills can resist. So instead of letting your inhibitions hold you back, just let your hair down and let loose with Wicked Things on their new track.
