Portuguese Alt Rock Trio Treewax Stream New Single ‘Save Me’ Released 3rd April 2025

Porto alt-rock trio TREEWAX are pleased to reveal their new single ‘Save Me’—set for release on 3rd April 2025, the track dives into the complexities of love, loss, and the desire for redemption.

The track is the latest to be taken from Portuguese shoegaze/post-metal band ICOSANDRIA and alt-rock trio TREEWAX’s forthcoming split EP, Void Intention, set for release 18th April 2025—a dynamic and emotionally charged collection of tracks that traverses one band’s immersive atmospheres and the other’s raw intensity with aplomb.

An impressive new offering from the three piece, ‘Save Me’ brings raw and intense emotions to the forefront, with lyrics that should resonate deeply with anyone who has experienced the highs and lows of love. Atmospheric instrumentation and an abrasive vocal performance create a sonic landscape that perfectly complements the emotional weight of the song—with nods to their influences Weezer, Nirvana, and Ozma—and the rousing bridge in particular highlighting the band’s growth in terms of songwriting.

Commenting on the track, frontman Gonçalo Ferreira said: “‘Save Me’ is about feeling lost, about uncertain days, about the ‘last cry’ before everything might fade away, but while there’s still hope.”

Lead single ‘Chronophobia’ by ICOSANDRIA was released earlier this year, with underground tastemakers Noizze premiering the official video.

Showcasing a unique blend of alternative rock, grunge, shoegaze, and post-rock influences that will resonate deeply with fans of those genres and beyond, Treewax and Icosandria may hail from opposite ends of the alternative spectrum, but together they’ve created a thrilling shared sonic journey.

Treewax are an alternative rock band based in Porto, Portugal who channel the raw energy of legends like Dinosaur Jr., Nirvana, and Weezer—their main goal is to keep the spirit of the best of alt-rock alive while creating a modern, fresh twist on the sound.

Consisting of Gonçalo Ferreira (guitar and vocals), Gustavo Ribeiro (bass), and Francisco Amado (drums), each member of Treewax brings their own unique influences from the worlds of alternative rock, grunge, punk and pop-rock to the table, making the perfect mix for high-energy songs that encourage listeners not only to hear them, but to live them.

Since their inception, Treewax have maintained a consistent touring and recording schedule, despite the challenges of their local scene. Their first EP, Tired, was released in August 2019—a 4-track still in demo format, but which proved cohesive and helped define the band’s burgeoning sound.

In 2020, they recorded their debut album, which was released in 2021. Bleak Fall was their first major release, with singles ‘Storge’, ‘Tired’, ‘Sunny Days’ and ‘Wakizashi’ the band's best songs since their inception. The warm reception from the public reassured them that the band was on the right path.

Fast forward to August 2022, and the band returned to the studio to record their second album. With a more cohesive theme, and a rawer sound, it began being promoted with the release of the Sweet Memories EP in January 2023.

Once again, the reception from fans at numerous concerts in 2023 proved to the band that the pace couldn’t slow down, and at the end of June 2023, Treewax released their second EP, Forget You Again. Before revealing the much-awaited complete album in October 2023.

Since the release of Only Yesterday, Treewax has been focusing more on showcasing their live sound, whether in concert or via live sessions, especially with the release of the Calhambirintho Sessions EP, among other releases.
