Rising alt-rock trio Selfish Sons have just released their highly-anticipated EP, ‘What A Beautiful Waste Of Time’.
Headlined by the intense and introspective track Facelift, this project showcases the band’s unique fusion of alt-rock nostalgia and contemporary soundscapes. The EP encapsulates Selfish Sons’ journey from their grassroots beginnings in Australia to the broader international stage, where their music continues to resonate with a rapidly expanding fanbase.
Comprising brothers Jordy, Finn, and Jonty, Selfish Sons craft music steeped in raw emotion and vulnerability. ‘What A Beautiful Waste Of Time’ explores themes of self-reflection, the struggle between identity and relationships, and the journey of self-discovery. The focus track, Facelift, is a candid anthem about navigating personal transformation amidst challenging social environments. The track echoes the EP’s overarching theme, embracing the beauty of mistakes as formative steps toward growth.
Jordy, lead vocalist and songwriter, explains, “Facelift is about finding the courage to reclaim who you are after giving so much of yourself to someone else. It’s about empowerment and realizing that, sometimes, you have to confront the uncomfortable truths to move forward.”
Selfish Sons have built a powerful fanbase through authentic interactions and unforgettable live performances. This month, the band undertook a unique Pop-U-Haul activation, performing at some of LA’s most iconic and energetic locations, including the vibrant Silverlake Flea Market and the world-famous Hollywood Boulevard, bringing their music directly to fans and garnering substantial media buzz. Known for their electrifying stage presence, they’ve shared stages with a genre-spanning list of major acts, from The Jonas Brothers to Lil Wayne and The Kid Laroi. Their dynamic, high-energy shows have led to sold-out headline tours across Australia and the U.S., cementing their reputation as one of the most exciting acts in alt-rock today.
As Selfish Sons head into 2025, the momentum continues to build with a string of major projects and appearances. Their upcoming Australian headline tour will take them through key cities including Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Sydney, with shows set in 800-capacity rooms, showcasing their growing popularity and dedicated fanbase back home. Additionally, the band is gearing up for the Vans Warped Tour 2025, marking a significant milestone as they join a line-up of top alt-rock names on one of the world’s most iconic live circuits. Selfish Sons’ recent U.S. tour with Lil Wayne are set to continue, further expanding their reach across genre lines. These performances promise to bring audiences an unforgettable live experience, bridging their on-stage dynamism with the raw emotion captured in the EP.
Selfish Sons’ ‘What A Beautiful Waste Of Time’ marks a pivotal chapter in their journey, one that promises to connect even more listeners to the band’s growing legacy.
