If you’re feeling that Humpday slump as much as I am wrap your ears around “How I Know It’s Right,” the latest single from Naarm/Melbourne outfit Max Aurora & The Southern Lights. This energetic, anthemic banger blends elements of indie rock with pop-punk for a sound that’s guaranteed to make you sit up and take notice.
Led by intersex/non-binary songwriter Max Aurora, this band has been turning heads ever since their debut single “How I Missed Home” helped them take out their hometown’s Women in Music mentorship.
“’Written in a single night, ‘How I Know It’s Right’ explores the quiet relief of leaving a fractured relationship and the curiosity of what a wholesome love could feel like,” Max explained. “It explores the urgent, wide-eyed wonder of what a truly wholesome connection feels like, and the restless patience in searching for it.”
Max Aurora & The Southern Lights are promising a stack of new music for 2026, so strap in music lovers!
