Having recently shared the stage with Australian icons The Living End and Regurgitator, as well as internationals like Ash (IRE) and Sparta (USA), Adelaide/Kaurna&rsquo;s Street Legal now reveal their debut EP, &lsquo;Bruxism&rsquo; - a four-track journey through brooding synth pop and restless new wave energy.Named after the medical term for teeth grinding, &lsquo;Bruxism&rsquo; pulses with the tension of anxiety and insomnia, captured through blood-pumping drum machines, haunting synth sequences and the Australiana-tinged vocals of singer Matt Hayward. Across an evocative soundscape, Street Legal are a magnetic collective, blending dancefloor grooves with existential dread.&ldquo;Over the past few years, I realised I&rsquo;d been grinding my teeth in my sleep - a side effect of anxiety and the stress of the world around us. That restless energy worked its way into these songs,&rdquo;&nbsp;explains Hayward. &ldquo;&lsquo;Bruxism&rsquo;&nbsp;explores the dangers of populism, the weight of anxiety, and the cycles we find ourselves stuck in, like a snake eating its own tail. But at its heart, it&rsquo;s about finding connection and hope, even when times feel tough.&rdquo;Recorded with Matt Schultz (The Empty Threats/Twine) and mixed by GRAMMY Award-winning engineer Hugo Nicolson (Radiohead, Father John Misty), &lsquo;Bruxism&rsquo; is expertly crafted at every turn. Led by the irresistibly fun single &lsquo;Cardio&rsquo;, the EP also features focus track &lsquo;No Gods! No Masters! No Doorlists! No Bouncers&rsquo;, accompanied by an era-blurring music video that showcases the band&rsquo;s seamlessly vivid fusion of past and future in their art.&quot;&rsquo;No Gods&hellip;&rsquo; is a tongue-in-cheek look at the chaos of modern dating in the digital age - swiping, misreading signals, and falling in and out of love in a matter of seconds,&rdquo; explains Matt. &ldquo;The modern format/retro aesthetic of the music video perfectly complements the modern retro vibe of the song, as well as giving a nod to old Australian classic music videos including Hunter &amp; Collectors and INXS.&rdquo;To celebrate the release, Street Legal will be touring nationally this April - bringing their electrifying show to Newcastle, Sydney and Melbourne before finishing up at Jive Bar in their hometown. Having firmly established themselves as one of South Australia&rsquo;s funnest live acts, the band&rsquo;s upcoming tour will finally give interstate fans the opportunity to lose themselves in Street Legal&rsquo;s high energy live set.
