LEFT CASSETTE Share Soaring Debut Track ‘Two Left Shoes’

Meanjin/Brisbane-based indie-rock band Left Cassette have unveiled their propulsive debut single Two Left Shoes – produced and mixed by Jono Fraud (Surf Trash, The Baby Breaks).

Two Left Shoes channels a raw, anthemic energy, blending soaring guitar riffs with gritty rhythms. The infectious chorus ensnares listeners with its catchy melody, while the verses build tension through punchy chords and driving drums. Lead vocalist Josh Aldred delivers each line with fervent intensity, infusing the dynamic soundscape with profound emotional depth.

Left Cassette talk about the inspiration behind Two Left Shoes: “Two Left Shoes is a song written by our lead singer Josh Aldred. The track came together after many years of trial and error. Having had the track written in late 2021, Josh workshopped the song to his then punk rock band. When Left Cassette was formed in early 2024, the song was re-workshopped and we put our own spin on it. The song was originally written about being in a relationship that was always having its ups and downs. Not knowing whether you were in it for the long haul, or on your way out the door. The relationship got to a point where neither party knew who was at fault anymore. Both just entertaining the idea that things may not be perfect, but you’re too hung up on the other person to do anything about it. Just desperately holding on for the ride.”

In the live arena, the band sold out their headliner at Tomcat earlier this year (250 tickets) and are set to return to the venue for their debut single launch party. The band are also supporting locals Satin Cali and have already played a slew of live shows across their hometown.

Drawing inspiration from the likes of Catfish & The Bottlemen, The Wombats and Two Door Cinema Club, the band formed after singer Josh Aldred found his musical soulmate in guitarist Trent Lord shortly after making the move from Liverpool, UK to Brisbane, Australia. In 2015, Josh was playing a show that Trent was sound engineering, and the pair bonded over their shared love for early 2000s guitar music, knowing one day they wanted to bring their talents together to create something.
