Father Deer Hands, a band spawned a year ago, have finally released their debut single/music video in “Make Me Feel.” In the vein of bands like Charmer and Tiny Moving Parts, this fresh new band have a distinct pop punk breadth furthered by plenty of guitar tapping and ample angst in the vocals.
“Make Me Feel” captures the frustration in a lack of self-love and lying to one’s self. Matt Betmalik, the vocalist, goes on to say: “There is so much more to life than that job you weren’t good enough for, those fair-weather friends, and the love you lost.” This sentiment is clear in the song’s lyrics: “Please love yourself instead Before it all comes to an end; Please love yourself my friend, Coz it’s all we’ve got to give.”
Father Deer Hands has a lot of potential exuded from this lone offering so far, and that’s furthered by the impressive sound mixed/mastered by Clayton Segelov from The Brain Studios.
Seeing as they’ve played (and even headlined) shows in their native New South Wales, Australia, we can expect at least an EP from the inspired young band in the future!
