Columbus Release Video For The New Acoustic Track "Nervous Wreck"

The Brisbane pop-punk band Columbus is set to release the debut album 'Spring Forever' tomorrow via UNFD. In the home stretch, they have released a music video for the brand new track “Nervous Wreck”.

“Nervous Wreck is the most stripped-back song on the album. It tells the story of someone heartbroken, lost and unsure. It asks why, despite all the hurt, can I still not seem to let go?” – Alex Moses

Columbus’ roots were laid in high school, when Moses would go round to drummer Daniel Seymour’s parents’ house and jam punk rock covers before they got home from work. They knew bassist & vocalist Ben Paynter from the school jazz band they were all in, and when he completed the line-up Columbus was solidified.

The band released debut EP "Sad Songs And Sing-Alongs" in 2013, followed by the breakthrough EP "Home Remedy" two years later. This led to international attention, culminating in press and radio attention from around the world and the band winning Best Newcomer and Best EP at the "Blunt Magazine" 2015 Readers’ Poll. 2016 opened with a performance on Unify’s mainstage which was soon followed by the band signing to UNFD and starting work on what would become their debut album.

Taking its cues from other classic power-punk trios’ albums, "Spring Forever " has a gorgeous simplicity to its melodies that hints at the darkness that is never far away. Produced by former Defeater sonic architect Jay Maas (Title Fight, State Champs, Polar Bear Club), it’s a mature, heartfelt collection of anthems-in-waiting. If there’s a hidden theme to "Spring Forever" it’s of wisdom reluctantly gained through those little trials that grow into battles within our heads.

All the songs on the album were born in the guitarist’s bedroom, plucked gently into life on his battered acoustic and blossomed into gloriously raucous punk rock thunderclaps thanks to the noise and shade provided by the rest of the band, even though they all retain a sweetly painful honesty.

If the songs grew from a place of sadness, they blossom into the world with a small smile that says it’s all been worth it.
