Brisbane/Meanjin-based punk and alt-rock sensation, The Dandys, have unleashed their newest, explosive track, “Smile More“.
This raw and impactful song bravely tackles the harrowing aftermath of sexual assault, weaving a narrative imbued with raw emotion and unapologetic candor.
Mads Protheroe, the band’s frontwoman, channels her searing, heartfelt screams into articulating the pain, frustration, and resilience born from surviving such traumatic experiences.
“Smile More” ingeniously blends catchy melodies with a potent message, neatly wrapped in an energetic pop-rock package. The objective? To raise awareness, stimulate discourse, and challenge societal norms.
The Dandys lyrically disarm harmful stereotypes about women, engaging listeners to join them in dismantling the false narratives propagated by a toxic culture.
Even with only three singles to their name, The Dandys have made waves across Australia. They’ve shared the stage with bands such as The Grogans, Peach Fur, and The Dreggs at esteemed events like Mountain Goat Valley Crawl and Jungle Love.
Fresh off their debut national tour, the band continues to affirm their reputation as an electrifying live act. Their previous tracks have garnered accolades from Hysteria Mag, Music Feeds, Triple J Unearthed, Scenestr, AAA Backstage, MILKY, Livewire AU, and a host of community radio stations across Australia.
