Auckland four-piece Some Distance return with their sophomore EP Waiting Rooms, out 23 October. Five songs that are loud, energetic and euphoric, blending pop punk, 2000’s post-hardcore and modern emo into something that feels celebratory. A sharp U-turn from their previous releases and a strong statement about where they are heading.

The first single QT, out now, is a love letter to the band itself. Four friends who’ve been making music together in various forms for over 10 years. Today, juggling family routines and hectic work schedules, but still finding time to squeeze in recording sessions and obsess over the details. It will resonate with anyone who strives to create a joyful space where there is “no fault, no fear.”

Nurturing these kinds of spaces is a key theme of Waiting Rooms, which explores protecting what you love against the threat of loss: sick loved ones, mental health, your connections and ultimately, what makes you feel alive. A body of work that is truly a labour of love.

Self-recorded and produced in Auckland, strictly without any AI intervention. For fans of Arm’s Length, No Pressure, Hundredth, Turnover, Balance & Composure, and the Story So Far.
