Radio Free Alice are teasing their new EP with an early single about running away – check out ‘Johnny’

Radio Free Alice have announced their new EP ‘Polyester’.

Set for release on 21st August, the Naarm/Melbourne new-wave band have also shared a new single, ‘Johnny’.

Discussing the track, the band explain: “‘Johnny’ is about growing up and feeling isolated. It follows the narrative of a young guy who runs away from his very religious family because he feels alone in it.”

The EP was initially conceived in Melbourne before being completed during the band’s recent European tour. The recording process took place in various unconventional locations across London, Paris, Bristol, Dublin, Nottingham, and Hradec Kralove (Czech Republic), including studios, backstage areas, tour vans, street corners, hostel bunk beds, and train stations.
