Brisbane Rockers Ink Deal With SideOneDummy Records

It’s a huge month for Brisbane alt-rockers Semantics, who today unveil a fresh single to celebrate news they’ve signed with the iconic SideOneDummy Records.

Sleep At Night is the first track the local outfit have released via the LA-based label, which has previously worked with Violent Soho and more Aussie outfits.

“We’re all huge fans of the label and the work they’ve put behind some of our favourite debuts. Can’t believe our luck becoming part of this legacy!” vocalists Callum Robinson said.

Thomas Dreux and Phil Bender-Simon of SideOneDummy Records added: “We’re thrilled to be working with Semantics. It didn’t take long for us to fall in love with the music when we came across it earlier this year. 

“They are a super talented group, with amazing songwriting that absolutely blew us away! We’re excited to release Sleep At Night and announce the signing, and we are all looking forward to what's coming next!”

Robinson described Sleep At Night as “a 'pick your poison' kind of song”.

"Everybody has a crutch and needs a little help getting through each day,” he said. “It’s no one else’s place to judge your coping mechanisms, but it’s imperative that you’re self aware and don’t dig yourself a deeper hole.”

Semantics will embark on an East Coast tour next week, all the details of which you can find in theGuide.
