DEAR SEATTLE Share New Single + Video ‘Say What You Want’

Love, loss, addiction, nostalgia, and every salient moment of life in between beats at the insatiable core of ‘TOY’. Showcasing Dear Seattle both brandishing their trademark infectious craftsmanship while also showcasing their palpable creative growth over the past few years, ‘TOY’ is an emphatic collection of relatable anthems to belt at the top of your lungs; an album that feels instantly familiar yet fresh in one exhilarating sweep that unfurls across the space of 12 tracks.

With a distinctive Aussie tinge to their emotive and propulsive wares, Dear Seattle first emerged onto the scene back in 2013, releasing their debut EP ‘Words Are Often Useless’ that same year. Following a second EP release, 2017’s self-titled ‘Dear Seattle’, the Northern Beaches-hailing group solidified their presence with their first ever full-length album ‘Don’t Let Go’ in 2019, also securing the group a #10 spot on the ARIA Australian Album Charts.

Unleashing their powerful sophomore album ‘Someday’ in 2022, Dear Seattle expanded their legacy to even greater heights, with ‘Someday’ debuting at #4 on the ARIA Australian Album Charts, a Spotlight Album feature on triple j, and Rolling Stone declaring that “Dear Seattle is born again“.

Continuously honing their modern take on old school pop punk and alt-rock over the years, Dear Seattle have previously performed alongside the likes of Hockey Dad, Trophy Eyes and Dune Rats, with multiple headline tours and appearances at Splendour In The Grass, UNIFY Gathering, Party In The Paddock and more in their wake.

Whether charming Missy Higgins herself with their 2019 triple j Like A Version cover of The Special Two, launching their own beer, burning up the charts and airwaves, or penning melodic, heartfelt delights that’ll have you equally singing along and banging your head, Dear Seattle are a band who build unforgettable moments around authenticity and charming execution – and the upcoming 2025 album ‘TOY’ is undeniably yet another home run from the Sydney quartet.

Dear Seattle will embark around the country starting this December for a special Album Launch Party Tour, with the shows offering fans an exclusive and rare opportunity to witness ‘TOY’ in intimate settings. Kicking off in Hobart on December 12, Dear Seattle will head to Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast in December, before heading to Canberra, Wollongong, Sydney and Newcastle in January 2025, with only 100 tickets available per show. Do not miss your chance to drink in the full live Dear Seattle experience up close and personal, and watch this space for more live show news in the not-too-distant future.
