Indie band headed to the Bellum

INDIE band Street Legal is unveiling their new single The Barassi Line this Wednesday and next month, they will be at the Bellum Hotel, alongside local acts Sexy As Shit & The Short Sleeves.

Mixed by ARIA award–winning producer Anton Hagop, of Silverchair, Powderfinger, Missy Higgins fame, the track marks the band’s first collaboration with the acclaimed mixer and signals a bold new chapter for the Adelaide indie rock five-piece.

The Barassi Line is available now on all streaming platforms and follows the band’s critically acclaimed debut EP Bruxism.

Vocalist Matthew Hayward said ‘The Barassi Line’ questions our relationship with those who control natural resources and shape the cities we live in.

“It’s about the stories we’re sold – that growth is always good, that wealth equals virtue,” Hayward said.

Built on driving, interwoven guitars and anchored by a soaring, anthemic chorus, the track captures Street Legal at their most urgent and expansive.

The release sits comfortably alongside contemporary indie heavyweights such as Fontaines D.C., IDLES, Shame, Interpol and The Murder Capital, while locally drawing comparisons to DZ Deathrays and Gang of Youths – further cementing Street Legal’s place among Australia’s fast-rising underground acts.
