THE ADMIRED Lean Into 2010s Internet-Era Nostalgia On New Single ‘All I’ve Got’

The Admired are bringing the most loved memories of the 2010s internet age forward with their brand new single All I’ve Got out now. Bright, nostalgic, and deeply relatable, All I’ve Got follows the band’s it-girl anthem Dancefloor in August, and is as vocalist and guitarist Bianca Davino says, “a love letter to growing up online in the Tumblr era.” Both Dancefloor and All I’ve Got are lifted from the band’s upcoming mini EP 3 songs, due for release on December 3.

Delving into fangirl culture in the 2010s, and the significance of “the scene” at the time, Bianca wrote All I’ve Got as a reflection on that era, its impact on their lives, how they see the world, and the artists they’ve become. “I wanted to shine a light on the innocence and passion of that time, and how it’s a feeling that we will always strive to capture in our music and why we do this. At our shows I’ve been saying it’s about “skipping class to go and follow Kellin Quinn around the city when he was here for Soundwave in 2013″, which is obviously a niche reference, but for those who know the vibes…they know lol.”

The new single can be heard live in the coming months, with the duo set to perform at Bootlegger’s ‘Kick Ons’ event on November 28, before supporting GRXCE at The Vanguard on December 11. In September, the duo celebrated their first ever headline show as The Admired, playing to a packed out Goodspace at The Lord Gladstone.

The Admired bridge the worlds between adventurous modern pop and nostalgic, 2000s-2010s emo – a direct reflection of the room their music was recorded in. That same Enmore bedroom where guitarist Max Jacobson worked his 9-5 was morphed into a DIY studio for The Admired, home to a bounty of 2000s magazines, cult classic DVDs, various music memorabilia and an enviable vinyl collection. Recording and producing their music quite literally in-house is a result of their DIY ethos and connection to the Sydney music scene – to build community from the ground up, and welcome it with open arms.

Their ‘3 songs’ EP was self-produced and engineered by The Admired, with mixing and mastering by Nat Sherwood (BESTIES / Stand Atlantic / Yours Truly). It follows the duo’s debut single Dream Pop Blues in late 2024 – a sincere look at the growth that can come from self-reflection. The track debuted on triple j Unearthed’s TOPS and combined the sentimental and powerful hooks of emo heroes Jimmy Eat World with the indie rock sensibilities of Tigers Jaw and Death Cab For Cutie. It received Apple Music playlisting across Good Times, The New Rock, and Negative Space, as well as extensive community playlist support.

While the band only have three releases to their name, this isn’t their first rodeo. As the core members of Aussie pop-punk mainstays Grenade Jumper, Bianca and Max have toured nationally alongside the likes of Yours Truly, RedHook, Between You & Me, Bakers Eddy and many more. Their collaborations with Trophy Eyes (Did You Imagine) and Dear Seattle (Fluorescent) earned rotation on triple j, and the band went on to perform at Unify Gathering, sell out multiple hometown shows, and embark on headline national tours.

The Admired’s songs come from a lifetime of experiences, though their band is just getting started. This year, they opened for Origami Angel and Bakers Eddy, and headlined Sydney Music’s Cupholder event in May, further establishing themselves as an exciting new force in Australia’s alternative music scene.
