Following an unforgettable sold out launch show for their debut EP in late 2024, Melbourne/Gippsland outfit All Regards have spent the past year working towards their next chapter. Influenced by the state of the world and the mundanity of everyday life, the band channeled feelings of anxiety, apathy, and angst into writing their next two releases – ‘discontent’, out today, and ‘resist’, set to follow in the coming months. Stream ‘discontent’ now on Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, and more.
Talking about the new release – a track that speaks to “apathy in the face of annihilation” and the fallout of standing idly by – co-vocalist Stefan Sepulveda says “I think a lot of people (myself included at times) feel overwhelmed by the state of the world and the never ending cycle of conflict and disasters, both natural and man-made. There have been times in my life where I’ve felt that there is no hope for positive change and been resigned to just watching everything turn to shit.
“The problem with that is that it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy – and that’s the message of the song, if you sit there waiting for the world to burn then that’s exactly what you’re going to get. So together with the next single ‘resist’, there’s a real call to action to get out and create positive change in whatever ways you can.”
This sentiment is reflected in the apocalyptic accompanying music video for ‘discontent’, following the journey of everyday people as they brace for the end of the world as they know it – some choosing to pave a path forwards, while others stand by and watch the clock count down. Watch HERE.
The band collaborated with Jack Newlyn (Between You & Me, Belle Haven) on their upcoming releases, with Newlyn producing, engineering and mixing ‘discontent’ and ‘resist’. Borrowing from the pop punk and alt-rock genres, All Regards are carving out a space of their own, with sharp guitar riffs, punchy drums and hook-driven vocal melodies powered by dual vocalists and guitarists Jeremy Allen and Stefan Sepulveda.
Their electric live shows have gained the group a strong local following, leading to sold out headline shows and sharing stages with the likes of ARIA chart toppers SoSo and rising Australian alternative favourites Belle Haven, Down And Out, Darcy Baker and more. On March 27, All Regards will play a double single launch show at Melbourne’s Workers Club in support of discontent and their upcoming track resist. Tickets are on sale now and available for purchase HERE.
