Track of the Day: Viera Motel “Take Heart” (2019)

Let’s kick start the week with a delicious slice of 80s/90s inspired indie-pop goodness! “Take Heart” is the debut single from Melbourne four piece Viera Hotel, consisting of Jay Pollock (vocals/keys), Matthew Ferguson (guitar/keys), Dane Sorensen (bass) and Matt Colvin (drums).

Citing such influences as Interpol, The Killers, New Order, and Joy Division, the band’s musical inspirations are written all over “Take Heart”, with honest (and occasionally a little dark) lyrics battling against a sound that demands to be danced to.

Rousing, rebellious, and just the right amount of retro, get your ears around this now – you won’t regret it!
