Melbourne Easy-Core 5-piece, This Space Is Ours burst with power in their latest electrifying pop-punk single, ‘Apology’, firmly staking their position as a burgeoning leader of melodic sing-along-worthy hooks, driving drums and face-melting solos.

‘Apology’ is a song in disguise, presented as a summer-washed pop-punk tune that conceals a darker lyrical undercurrent. Sacrificing none of the dynamism, ‘Apology’ confronts listeners with the confusing duality of the mind. Struggling to make sense of sadness and defeat, lead vocalist Gemma tackles these emotions under the veil of positivity.

From the onset, ‘Apology’ is chunky, heaving drums, and a wall of guitar, which brings to mind early Fall Out Boy, before the pop-punk melodic sprinkles rain down, particular with vocalist Gemma’s sweetly positive delivery. It’s balance of bitterness and sunshine, with This Space Is Ours tipping one way then the other. Add to that one of the most blistering guitar solos we’ve heard in Australian Pop Punk in quite some time, ‘Apology’ hits hard and fast, and definitely leaves a mark.

 “The lyrics of the song tackle the tough situation of falling out of love with the person you're with. When things seem to have gone stale and cold but you're not quite ready to address it, out of the fear of letting go.” This Space is Ours

‘Apology’ was recorded between Pony Music, Studio Delos and United POP. This marks the second single the band have collaborated with esteemed producer Beau McKee (Earth Caller, Christopher Dicker, Between You & Me) on.

“This is one out of five singles we recorded with Beau McKee. We had a lot of fun with him in the studio and he ensured we were all comfortable enough to play around and achieve the exact sound we were looking for.” Gemma, This Space is Ours.

Accompanying this release is an animated lyric video from the talented Joanne Lee. Found through a serendipitous instagram scroll, after a few messages back and forth they combined forces. The result is a surreal, sci-fi mind-warm of This Space is Ours’ logo, a punk spaceman, travelling through the galaxy in his spaceship while contemplating a lost love.

This Space is Ours are a 5-piece Melbourne easy-core band that any existing fan of Paramore, Tonight Alive, or Stand Atlantic will find a new favourite in. Their refined and easy-to-love combination of pop, punk, and rock has begun carving out a dedicated fan base and caught the attention of industry tastemakers.  

‘Apology’ is out now on all streaming platforms.
