Brisbane’s Wattmore return with Romantic Side, a genre-smashing single that reinjects cheeky energy and rebellious charm into the all-too-serious world of modern romance. Blending alt-country grit with rockabilly swagger and punk irreverence, brothers Aiden and Kai Boak are not here to deliver another sweet and cliché love song, they’re here to roast the entire dating industry over a twangy, high-octane flame!
Co-written with Australian songwriting legend Allan Caswell and produced by Lindsay Waddington, Romantic Side is loud, witty, and raw, balancing sharp satire with bursts of emotional honesty. It’s the kind of track that feels equally at home in a dive bar jukebox or blasting out of a pickup truck window at sunset. If their debut Circus Life made waves in country and Americana circles, this new release solidifies Wattmore as fearless sonic explorers, ready to poke fun, push buttons, and pack out playlists all over again!
From its bourbon-soaked storytelling to its driving country beat, Romantic Side is a reminder that great songwriting doesn’t need to be filtered or polished, it just needs to be real; and Wattmore delivers that in spades, armed with killer hooks, gritty vocals, and a whole lot of personality.
Forget algorithm-driven love stories. Romantic Side is the cheeky wink and smirking comeback to swipe culture we didn’t know we needed!
