'He's A Lad' is the third single to drop from the upcoming EP, 'Soft', premiered on triple j drive with Tyrone and Abby. The energetic and rapid-fire lyrically vulnerable track is produced by Andy Lawson (The Buoys, Death By Denim, Tired Lion). It is written about toxic masculinity that stems from a place of insecurity.


'He's A Lad' follows previous EP singles, the confident and defiant lead track 'Let It Out', officially added to triple j and most played track for several weeks, and the vulnerable letter 'I Still Adore'. The band have just wrapped up their most extensive headline international tour  'Let It Out', covering sold out shows in Australia, Europe and UK and have just been announced to perform at BIGSOUND 2024.

The EP 'Soft' – Noah Dillon's third, following 2019's 'Everything Melts' and his 2021 breakthrough 'Don't Change for the World (Like It's Changing Me)' –  is a straightforward and succinct title, especially in contrast to the woven metaphor of his two previous titles.

Garnering over 5.3 million global streams of his music, Noah Dillon's career has continued to soar. Marked by the release of his debut album 'Kill The Dove', extensive tours and festival appearances, he has shared the stage with artists such as Stella Donnelly, San Cisco, Holy Holy and Teenage Dads and appeared at Music Matters in Singapore, Splendour in the Grass and BIGSOUND.


With Noah Dillon's multi-faceted approach, forthright lyricism and seemingly-endless energy, Noah Dillon has once again made himself one to watch in the Australian music scene for 2024. With all that said: what's the key message Noah Dillon is trying to convey with 'Soft'?


“Live your life... to live your life well means to experience loss and to experience sadness, because you can't just have happiness that lasts forever. Things change, things move, people die – and that's OK. You gotta love it while it's happening and live your life well. That's what I want people to really take away from this EP: through sadness, grief and hard times, you're going to be OK," Noah Dillon shares.

Welcome to Garden Island; an envision of mild hallucinations, an indie grunge diet and shitty suburban house parties. Garden Island are a four piece alternative rock band moving out of the bedroom into the living room and now cemented forever in a 5-track compact disc. A combination of songs depicting the learnings and failings of the blunder years, written during those hazy times with a few brief moments of clarity, and perhaps a naive wisdom gifted with a touch of nostalgic hindsight. “They're the quintessential bedroom project. I honestly got visions of them as teenagers in the basement of a house in the suburbs decked out to be a jam space.” (Isolated Nation) After a string of strong summer gigs, including an appearance at the Mojos Rising Band Comp, Garden Island settled in to an autumn of writing and recording, emerging with a set of songs reminiscent of walking home in last night’s clothes with the sun well and truly up, a wistful air of the good times had but a pang of morning reality’s regrets. Dust off and have a listen.
