Australian alt-rocker
Paula Punch has released her new official single, “Move Over.”
The track comes on the heels of her popular December 2018 single,
“Tonight,” August 2018 track, “Holy Water,” and her debut LP
album, “Don't Look Down,” which also dropped summer of '18. Like
the rest of her rapidly growing repertoire, “Move Over” has been
proudly published on the Punch Park indie label without strings to
the corporate music industry. Bluesy, rocking, and featuring a
root-pure blend of acoustic and clean electric sounds beneath raw,
heartfelt vocals, “Move Over” is the latest example of Paula
Punch's rise skyward .
Sydney's Paula Punch has
cited as influences Annie Lennox, Joni Mitchell, Chrissy Hind,
Francoise Hardy, Bob Dylan, Ed Kuepper and Ron Sexsmith. Paula
Punch's style has range, moving from release to release with
occasionally startling alacrity, and she has hinted that she expects
her body of work after “Don't Look Down” to shift. If “Move
Over” represents this change, it's one toward classic blues rock
more than toward her more '90s alternative tendencies, as the above
roster of legends suggests.
In any case, captained by
Punch's strong, yet unassuming vocals, and backed by poppy bass lines
and subtle, '60s-style organ chords (think Monkees) “Move Over”
by Paula Punch showcases her uniquely natural songwriting and
tasteful studio production perhaps more than ever.
Asked to describe the
overall meaning of “Move Over,” Paula Punch writes, “It speaks
about a woman taking control of her life, and coming into her own
power.”
This theme of feminine
empowerment is one which runs throughout the Punch catalog. This
makes sense, seeing as how Punch writes music organically and often
gets inspiration from her own experiences, which happen to run in
this vein.
“I thought it was
too late for me to release my music, but I soon realized that I was
the main one stopping me!” writes Punch in a recent press release.
“That was a turning point. I am now determined to release and
perform my own music whatever. I also felt it was time to help make a
cultural change – to be an example that you can make music at any
age.”
Punch also sings for her
live band, The Fireflys, featuring Robin Gist on electric guitar,
Marko Simec on keyboards, Mike Rix on bass and Tim O’Driscoll on
drums. The Fireflys will perform at the “Move Over” launch party
at Django Camelot 7 February 2019.
“Move Over” by
Paula Punch on the Punch Park label is available from over 600
quality digital music stores online worldwide now. Get in early. Very
early.
