Australian punk-rock trailblazers Stand Atlantic are thrilled to announce the release of the deluxe edition of their highly acclaimed 2024 album, WAS HERE, which debuted No.3 on the ARIA albums chart. Set to drop on May 16, the deluxe version will feature additional tracks, and a slew of special remixes.
The deluxe gives fans the opportunity to delve into the music even more – with fresh takes on songs like “FREAKIN OUT” with PVRIS, and “CRIMINAL,” with Mr. Bill. The deluxe will also feature a brand new (and undeniably angsty) track with Alt-Pop singer Lauren Sanderson titled “I’M THE MAN.”
STAND ATLANTIC SHARES:
“We originally planned to drop “I’m The Man” on WAS HERE, but it didn’t feel ready at the time. We’ve been working on the Deluxe Album behind the scenes, revisiting old demos and turning chaos into something worth shouting about.
This one started as a what-if —If I was a rich prick who didn’t give a fuck about anyone or anything, what would I do? That idea spiralled into a pissed-off take on how power structures look to us: out of touch, untouchable, and way too comfortable. It felt like a fitting time in the world to release this song. We linked up with one of our favourite artists, Lauren Sanderson, to bring it to life. “I’m The Man” is loud, unapologetic, and hits harder than ever. It’s out now. Crank it.” – BONNIE
