Following the completion of his national ‘Endemic Intelligence In Multiple Dimensions’ Tour last month, 4x ARIA Award nominated singer/songwriter Brad Cox has today shared his anthemic and freeing new single Better Off Without It via Warner Music Australia.
Better Off Without It is a hopeful country song about putting yourself first and letting go of things that weigh you down. It’s the second taste of new music in 2026, with previous single What Are The Odds reaching Top 15 Countrytown Airplay Chart.
Of the song Brad says, “This is a song about recognising when it’s time to move on. Sparked by a mate who finally bushed his toxic ex and got on with his life. Recorded like we were sitting on the verandah and playing as we do. Sometimes you’re better off without it”.
Next month, Brad will get back on the road and perform at Strummingbird Festival alongside Bailey Zimmerman, Cooper Alan and Stella Lefty in Ballarat, Newcastle and Sunshine Coast. Over the past year he has performed at the 2025 State Of Origin Game 3 at Allianz Stadium, Bluesfest Festival, Yours And Owls Festival, Meatstock Festival and supported Randy Houser.
Hailing from Jindabyne in NSW’s Snowy Mountains, Brad burst onto the country music scene in 2018, where he received widespread recognition with his self-titled debut album, earning him two prestigious Golden Guitar nominations. 2020 then took Cox’s career to new heights of triumph with the release of his sophomore album ‘My Mind’s Projection’ which secured the #1 spot on the ARIA Australian Country Album Charts and #12 on the ARIA Album Chart. In 2023, his third studio album ‘ACRES’ reached #1 on ARIA Country Charts and #7 on ARIA Album Chart, and he was awarded the Golden Guitar for ‘Top Selling Country Album of the Year’ and received an ARIA nomination for Best Country Album. His 2025 fourth studio record ‘Endemic Intelligence In Multiple Dimensions’ debuted on the ARIA Top 10 Australian Album Charts and was led by the singles Kickin’ Stones, The High Cost Of Living feat. Randy Houser, Sunset Psalm, I’m A Boxer, and Everything I’ve Got.
