A Full-throttle Alt-rock Gut Punch

Aussie alt rockers Sly Withers new single 'Restless' isn’t just a song — it’s a full-throttle alt-rock gut punch! Fuelled by frustration and raw emotion, it surges with the band’s signature fusion of emo-punk grit and slick production, balancing chaos with introspection in a way that punches hard.

From the jump, 'Restless' grips you in a whirlwind of anxious energy, mirroring its themes of self-doubt and the desperate urge to break free. Jono Mata lays it all out— wanting to do better but feeling trapped in his own head. That tension builds and erupts through crashing drums, soaring guitars, and a chorus that demands to be screamed pleasingly at full volume.

With production by Stevie Knight, mixing by James Paul Wisner, and mastering by Grant Berry, the track seamlessly blends emotional welly with polished execution. And when that's done right, there is nothing like it. 'Restless' is the kind of track that will solidify Sly Withers, as a band, as masters of turning personal battles into cathartic, stadium-ready anthems. Nicely done. Chef's kiss, fellas!

To top it all, the band are currently alt rocking the UK and bringing this single (and many other alt-rock bangers) to the masses - including at The Great Escape Festival. Stream or download now: and get down to sing-along and throw yourself about at a UK live show whilst you can. Recommend.
