Future Static rage about oppression in the world today on new single 'Swing'!

Australian breakthrough heavy act Future Static have unveiled their powerful new single 'Swing', taken from their new album Ornaments & Memories, out 6th November via Wild Thing Records. 

'Swing' was written in reaction to the US Supreme Court repealing Roe v Wade and in anger at the political pendulum swing to the right in Australia and across the world, creating laws that reduce the rights of women, minorities and all oppressed people. The lyrics express resentment at the lack of empathy of the politicians and powerful people creating and lobbying for these laws and causing harm. The unrelenting riffs and crushing breakdowns only emphasise the fury.

Bassist Kira Neil comments: “'Swing' is for anyone feeling targeted and unsupported by the unjust systems of the world. We see you, we’re with you and we’re angry as hell”.

Future Static’s eagerly awaited second album displays a darker and more philosophical side than their debut LP Liminality, exploring internal and external conflict, growth, change and love. Amongst bouncy riffs and soul crushing breakdowns, passionate guitar solos and leads, dramatically stacked vocal parts and frantic drum fills, this album is musically and thematically inspired by the ebbs and flows of living in a rapidly accelerating world.

Melbourne five-piece phenomenon Future Static are carving their position among the one of the most exciting forces in modern metalcore. Following the success of their #1 Australian AIR-charting debut album Liminality (2023), the band have rapidly risen through Australia’s heavy scene and beyond, earning critical acclaim from Kerrang!, Metal Hammer, and Triple J, whilst touring extensively across Australia; including supporting Babymetal, Electric Callboy, Jinjer, Enter Shikari, Don Broco, Lacuna Coil and TesseracT. International touring has included EU/UK headline shows, supporting Ankor and Humanity’s Last Breath, and multiple prestigious European festival appearances; including Sziget (HU), Radar (UK), Reeperbahn (DE) and Euroblast (DE).   

Blending technical precision with melodic chaos, Future Static's sound is both striking and emotionally raw - a reflection of personal struggle, resilience, and self-discovery. Led by their breathtaking lead vocal tandem, a magical chemistry of electrifying front-woman Amariah Cook and bassist Kira Neil, and backed by guitarists Ryan Qualizza and Jack Smith, and drummer Jackson Trudel’s intense musicality and blazing fury, Future Static have taken Australia’s live circuit by storm.
