about

Justifiably heavy, while still melodic and genuine, Wearing Thin draws inspiration from the burgeoning Australian metalcore scene, utilising the bands familiarity with nu metal and alternative music to create something truly unique. WEARING THIN demonstrates this fusion in spades, setting vocalist Jordan Kellaway’s soaring vocals as a stark contrast to the downtuned rock riffs that only the protege of Jimi Hocking (of Screaming Jets fame), Billy Balassis, could pull off.

The band set out to write a song that felt anthemic, but all too familiar amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns that brutally and consistently hit Melbourne. Lyrics such as “Why am I so tired? I die with every step” and “I feel it in my skin, my patience wearing thin” perfectly encapsulate the claustrophobia and helplessness of being held captive in ones own mind.

Featuring a lyrical collaboration between bassist Lucas Banim and vocalist Jordan Kellaway, syncopated by the brutal accuracy of drummer John Mihaloudakis’ precise and powerful rhythms, it’s a track that will have you in goosebumps from beginning to end, created with an electrifying live show at the forefront of the groups mind’s.

Hungry, and eager to show the world the fruits of their labour, Wearing Thin is NTH RD’s new calling card, a constant reminder to keep your ears peeled for what is to come…

lyrics

Why am I so tired?
I die with every step
My room is filled with liars
Who don’t know I need help
Trust me when I say this
I’ve seen it all before
And I know that I will make it
It just makes me want it more

Sometimes just breathing
Is harder than believing
That every little thing you said
Had any amount of meaning

Sometimes just breathing
Is harder than believing
That every little thing you said
Had any amount of meaning

Oh, and I can’t hold on much longer
And I’m not getting any stronger
And I feel it in my skin
My patience wearing thin

If friends stick together,
Well what kind of friend are you?
Cos I know for damn sure
That clearly isn’t true
Cos the people, they’ve been speaking
You can try to read their mouths
And all your friends have left you
And your parents sure ain’t proud

Oh, and I can’t hold on much longer
And I’m not getting any stronger
And I feel it in my skin
My patience wearing thin

Sometimes just breathing
Is harder than believing
That every little thing you said
Had any amount of meaning

Oh, and I can’t hold on much longer
And I’m not getting any stronger
And I feel it in my skin
My patience wearing thin
