After establishing themselves as one of Australia’s most powerful rock acts, Tired Lion makes a long-awaited return today with the huge new single ‘Waterbed,’ as Sophie Hopes steps up to reclaim her throne as Australia’s queen of guitar rock.

The new single is everything you could hope for in a new Tired Lion track: quiet/loud dynamics, beefy guitar lines, undeniable pop hooks, kazoos – okay, the kazoos were a surprise to us too, but we promise they work!

Bristling with Hopes’ signature lyricism and snarl, ‘Waterbed’ – a song that torpedoes notions of not only cultural fads, but detaching oneself to nostalgic feelings of the past – also boasts one of the strongest choruses of her songwriting career.

Hopes has continued to craft the pop-hooked, big-riffed, grunge-drenched ear worms she generated when Luke Boerdam (Violent Soho) was pulled in as producer for Tired Lion’s debut album and 2017 triple j Feature Album, Dumb Days. ‘Waterbed’ continues from where they left off and charges headfirst through a brick wall, as Hopes once again shows off her brilliant performing prowess on this equally sweet and sour pop rocker.
