Central Coast five-piece indie-rock band The Sea Gypsies have release their newest single, ‘Stronger’, followed by a 6-date East Coast tour in April, kicking off in Sydney at The Chippendale Hotel and ending in Coffs Harbour at Shore Club Sessions. ‘Stronger’ embodies both the raw and refined nature of modern Australian music, cementing The Sea Gypsies signature sound.
“This song has been trying to come out of me for many years… I made this riff when I was 22 and I haven’t been able to put lyrics down until now, at 30 years. ‘Stronger’ is a reflection of my life and the ups and downs I went through in my 20’s. I was travelling a lot through this time, one minute feeling on top of the world, to the next like my life was crashing down. When I finally returned home to no job, no real purpose and completely lost I hit rock bottom. I decided I couldn’t live like this. I really had to dig deep and I decided to put everything into my music. ‘Stronger’ is about standing up, not allowing your past to get in the way, breaking through boundaries and ‘running with the storm’ not fighting it. Life will always have its ups and downs but it’s our choice what we do with it. I wanted to create this song to make people feel empowered. My band really helped me shape this into the power ballad it is. And we’re all very proud of it.” – Luke Marlin of The Sea Gypsies
