Melbourne's LOSER reveal their first cut of new music for 2021 with the release of 'All I Need', recorded via the band's newly launched Restless Noise Studios.
On the track, LOSER vocalist/guitarist Tim Maxwell shares:
"'All I Need' is a song about feeling incomplete even though you may have everything you need or want in life, yet you still can’t be satisfied. It’s an ode to all the people out there that may feel this way and to let them know that they are not alone," adding:
"It’s been such a weird year and it really tested a lot of people’s mental health, this is my song for you to help you get through those tough times."
Churning away slowly before drawing on big sing alongs and trademark guitar solos, 'All I Need' will no doubt be a future staple live track for the band, who recently supported both Slowly Slowly (solo) and Shihad at their respective sold out Corner Hotel shows.
