Perth’s indie-surf-punk-rockers ‘The Mess Around’ have taken their melting pot of musical backgrounds and influences, combining them all together on a candle-lit evening to create their new single ‘Want You Back’. Inspired by demonstrations of love & the romantic chase to win back the affections of another when you’ve slipped up, ‘Want You Back’ is a tongue-in-cheek guide to getting them back in your arms. With sonic influences from Dune Rats, Skegg & Beddy Rays, The Mess Around have however constructed their own unique sound, with a rollercoaster of tempos & guitar rhythms to make the 2 minutes, 43 seconds of ‘Want You Back’ feel like a genuinely epic ride.Working out of Perth’s Oracle Studios (Mongol, Arctos), the four-piece headed into the studio to record ‘Want You Back’ with their own drummer Alex Ford. Keeping production in-house allowed them to flex their creativity even more, with Alex Ford also mixing & mastering the track. 2 x sentences about the recording process.“We have all been in that relationship where one person is a tad more obsessed than the other. This song is for the people that realized the moment after a breakup, that slip ups were made, regret sets in and realization sets in that this was all a mistake. “Want You Back” is a fun demonstration of showing your love for someone, beginning the romantic chase to portray how much they mean and ultimately get them back in your arms.” The Mess Around
