One More Weekend rip open the festival haze with roaring new single ‘Aunty Meredith’
Melbourne’s own One More Weekend are here to drag you headfirst into the sweaty, unhinged heart of rock ’n’ roll with their ferocious new single ‘Aunty Meredith’.
From the first wailing guitar line, ‘Aunty Meredith’ hits like a shot of adrenaline straight to the chest. It barrels forward with feral energy, all snarling riffs and pounding rhythms, conjuring the feeling of being pinned against the barricade at a midnight festival set, sweat dripping down your spine as the world blurs around you.
Connor Dougan’s vocals are a wild animal let loose, shifting from snarling confessions to hypnotic, almost trance-like chants as he guides us through a lysergic nightmare. Lyrically, it’s a jagged snapshot of a trip gone sideways, a journey from ecstatic release into the gnawing void of self-reckoning. “It’s about that razor’s edge between losing yourself and finding something real,” Dougan says, and you can feel every last shred of it in his delivery.
The accompanying video matches this firestorm blow for blow. It’s an acid-drenched fever dream, all warped visuals, hallucinatory festival lights, and unsettling glimpses of the self you’d rather ignore. It captures that moment when the bass drops, the lights strobe, and you suddenly realise the only thing you’re really facing is your own reflection.
And just when you think the track can’t push any harder, it kicks into an even more chaotic gear with guitars spiralling out of control, drums pounding like a heartbeat on the brink of collapse, every note daring you to let go just a little further.
‘Aunty Meredith’ is a chance to dive into the deep end of your own psyche with no guarantee of coming out clean on the other side. It’s the sound of a band in full throttle, embracing the imperfections and the madness that make rock music vital and dangerous.
Strap in, turn it up, and let ‘Aunty Meredith’ remind you why we fell in love with rock music in the first place: the wildness, the risk, and that blissful moment when you lose yourself completely.
