In The Spotlight

Sametime – “Should’ve Known Better”

Hailing from the Sunshine Coast in Australia and based in Brighton, UK, brothers Sam and Tim Aitken began their musical journey busking on the streets aged 9 and 12. They also started writing their own songs and released an album under the name “Hoo8Hoo”. At the age of 14 and 17 they signed a record deal with Sony. They’ve since started their own record label: Duckfeet Records. Inspired by The 1975, Finneas and Coldplay, they released their debut “Where The Wind Blows” in 2017.

Telling the relatable story of having expressed a thought out loud that you should’ve kept to yourself, their new single explores the heartache a hurtful comment can create. Blending an 80s vintage pop-rock vibe with contemporary qualities, the melody starts with a shimmering synth, closely followed by neon-dipped percussion and joyous electric guitars. Ascending to a crescendo of anthemic sonic heights, it’s the exuberant vocals that add a virulent sparkle to this cheerful groove.
