Our new EP Friends is out now!
Indie outfit Wing Defence hit the court hard in their breakout singles, unleashing banger after banger, scoring international radio play and touring their native Australia. Backing it up with festival sets at indie festival Laneway Festival and Groovin the Moo, the duo have shown they’ve got the fast footwork to go the distance.
After selling out their first ever hometown show well before the doors opened, the passionate purveyors of themed party anthems have spent some time knuckling down in the studio with Wade Kerighan (Wolf and Cub, Polish Club) to put the final touches on their debut EP, Friends set for release early July. There’s no doubt this will be a body of work that gets you geared up for a big night or provide the soundtrack for your Sunday arvo, post game BBQ.
"you can only agree and yell along enthusiastically, a bright indie fist-shaking angst that manages to pivot neatly on the one foot" - themusic.com.au
Describing their sound as pop/punk and taking inspiration from across the decades, Wing Defence cite their references from No Doubt to CERES and Michelle Branch. Their collaborative, team-oriented approach to songwriting has gained the duo’s catchy, thought-provoking anthems plays all across triple j, charting on the Germany radio charts, and scored themselves an award at the 2019 South Australian Music Awards.
"Without even digging into the ever-clever lyrics from this group, I just wanna shout out the f e e l of this new song. It is just dripping with cool. Wing Defence with another strike!" - Dave Ruby Howe, Triple J unearthed
