The rain’s well and truly set in in my part of the country, but tracks like “Shotgun,” the newie from Walyalup/Fremantle band Figurehead, are helping me hold on to my summer vibes for as long as possible. This is everything you want in a summer tune, with its cool indie rock sound and breezy vocals from Joe Caddy. Tap into the lyrics though and you’ll realise there’s a little more going on.
“Despite its feel-good, summery feel, ‘Shotgun’ contains lyrical depth and explores themes of self-improvement in the face of daily struggles and addictions,” Figurehead explained. “The song’s protagonist ultimately chooses love over fear, and gives insight to those struggling with external dependencies.”
Figurehead say they’re gearing up for a “massive” 2026, so make sure you follow them on the socials to keep track of all their upcoming releases and shows.
