Cub Sport – Hold

It’s a big day for acclaimed Australian pop outfit Cub Sport, who have not only released a new single but also unveiled their fifth studio album.

‘Hold’ is a stunningly constructed piece of dance-pop that perfectly balances emotions of melancholy with euphoria.

Sonically inspired by nightclub sounds from the millennium era, the song feels nostalgic and familiar, but still retains a sense of uniqueness. Elaborating further on their new album, Cub Sport’s Tim Nelson explains:

“I think that’s the beauty of writing honestly about my own life – it all fits together and reveals a little bit more of this greater story that’s still playing out, from an ever-evolving perspective but with the same heart. We have the self-appointed freedom to evolve and change and I think that’s why, five albums in, it still feels exciting.”

UK-based fans can catch the band on tour later this month. Dates and tickets can be found here.

Cub Sport – Keep Me Safe

Everyone’s favourite group from ‘down under’ Cub Sport return with a stunning new single that deserves your attention.

Presenting listeners with a subtle yet emotive fusion of dreamy pop and ambient electronica, ‘Keep Me Safe’ is sonically reminiscent to music by the likes of Fred Again, Troye Sivan and The Blaze.

“I wrote ‘Keep Me Safe’ about a euphoric but complicated time. Shedding some light on it now feels like I’m validating my younger self and celebrating the magic in something I was so ashamed of at the time.” – Tim Nelson, Cub Sport

Alongside the release of the song, Cub Sport have also just announced details of an upcoming spring UK tour, with shows in Glasgow, Manchester, Bristol and London. Tickets can be found here.
