Naarm / Melbourne punk-rock four-piece Press Club independently release their much-anticipated fourth album, ‘To All The Ones That I Love’, out today.
Diverse and evolved, ‘To All The Ones That I Love’ boasts a massive, textural sound while exploring themes of introspection, growth and harnessing the power of self-awareness.
Recorded at the band’s own studio in Footscray, with guitarist Greg Rietwyk on production and mixing, before the album was mastered by Kris Crummett (Closure in Moscow, Dune Rats, Currents) the album includes singles Tightrope, I Am Everything and Wasted Days.
Today, also sees the band share a video clip for the album’s title track, directed by long-time collaborator Nick Manuell. Captured with raw intimacy and signature grit, the clip echoes the track’s message: a powerful love letter to connection, community, and self.
“We’re talking to a few groups of people,” says drummer Frank Lees. “First is our fans who’ve followed us on the journey so far and without whom we wouldn’t be able to do what we do. Secondly are our friends and families, who support us both in our music and in our lives. And lastly we’re talking to each other, we’ve come a long way together and prop each other up. ‘To All The Ones That I Love’ is literally a love letter, not just to our fans and families, but also to ourselves.”
This weekend, Press Club celebrate the album release with two shows at The Tote on Saturday May 3: afternoon all ages show with support from W.O.M.B.A.T and Good Sniff, followed by an 18+ evening show with Great Australian Bank and Good Sniff. Then a trip down to Bendigo Records for a free all ages show on Sunday May 4.
Constantly on the road, Press Club also announce a national Australian tour for July and August. Taking the new album to Brisbane, Gold Coast, Newcastle, Sydney, Wollongong, Adelaide, Fremantle, Scarborough and playing their biggest hometown headline show to date at The Corner Hotel. This will be their last Melbourne hometown show for 2025.
UK and European audiences have less of a wait with a month of touring announced for June, including festival performances at 2000 Trees in the UK, Farewell Youth and Not Sorry Festivals in Germany, and performing for their first time in Croatia at INmusic Festival. An abundance of headline shows also on offer with support from fellow Australian bands DZ Deathrays and Mannequin Death Squad.
Press Club’s bassist Iain MacRae looks ahead to the tour: “It’s been a minute since we’ve been on the road, solely in the name of Press Club. These road dogs are ready to howl! But seriously, it’s gonna be unreal to tap into some of the songs from our new record, To All The Ones That I Love on the stage.”
Press Club’s evolution from gritty newcomers to critically acclaimed punk veterans has been swift and powerful. Their 2018 debut ‘Late Teens’ and its acclaimed 2019 follow-up ‘Wasted Energy’ catapulted the band onto the global stage, earning praise from the likes of triple j, Radio 1’s Rock Show, Visions Magazine Germany and seeing them tour extensively across Australia, the UK, and Europe. Their third album, ‘Endless Motion’ (2022), solidified their status as one of Australia’s most vital punk exports – debuting at #3 in the AIR Independent Label chart, landed Album of the Week at Double J and was nominated for Best Independent Punk Album at the AIR Awards.
