Can work and pleasure coexist? ‘Oh, Baby!’ traces the tension between two artists whose relationship is strained in a creative partnership, seeing cracks emerge when love and professionalism collide. Shorehaven shares the explosive single, complete with a vibrant music video, on Thursday, February 19.
Shorehaven are a Boorloo/Perth-based female-fronted indie pop-punk band, fusing the warmth of Australian indie rock with the punch and nostalgia of early 2000s pop punk. With a sound that captures youthful nostalgia while remaining modern and exciting, they’ve shared stages with Teenage Joans (Creamfest), Sly Withers (Leavers), Rum Jungle, Pacific Avenue (Pollen Fest), Dear Sunday, Drax Project, and more, earning a reputation for high-energy, fun live shows.
A song born out of a frustrating rehearsal, ‘Oh, Baby!’ marks a subtle shift in Shorehaven’s sonic direction. Produced by Matthew Templeman, it moves away from their earlier indie-rock leanings and embraces a more direct pop-punk palette, built on thick and juicy guitar tones, a tight rhythm section, and wry, tongue-in-cheek lyricism. The result is an upbeat, anthemic offering that feels immediate and assured, without losing the band’s melodic core. Hannah Gill (vocalist) explains:
“We really focused on not taking ourselves too seriously with this song, really leaning into the cliches [of pop rock and emo] and allowing the vision to develop with Matt’s guidance”.
The release is accompanied by a colourful music video filmed over three consecutive days, featuring a lively cast of extras. Scenes move between a backyard wedding and a punk-rock performance, with a visual nod to Queen’s ‘I Want to Break Free’. The band describes the shoot as one of the most memorable experiences to date.
Shorehaven bring punchy electric guitars, unapologetic vocals and a classic indie rock edge to their upcoming single and music video ‘Oh, Baby!’, out Thursday, February 19.
