11 October 2026 – The Somedays Release She's A Storm and Thoughts Fade Away and Bring Australian Guitar Pop Back to Life

Australian indie-rock newcomers The Somedays have attracted fresh attention with a double release featuring "She's A Storm" and "Thoughts Fade Away," two contrasting songs that demonstrate an impressive understanding of classic guitar-pop songwriting.

The four-piece formed in southeast Queensland during 2025 and includes Alex van Dorsselaer on vocals and bass, Adam van Dorsselaer on guitar and vocals, Chris Lucas on guitar and vocals and Brent van Mourik on drums. Three members come from Toowoomba, while Alex previously performed in Brisbane bands during the early 1990s.

"She's A Storm" embraces the more aggressive side of Australian garage rock, combining energetic guitars, chanting backing vocals and an attitude recalling bands such as The Stems, Sunnyboys and early Hoodoo Gurus. "Thoughts Fade Away" takes a different direction, developing a dreamy psychedelic atmosphere around melodic guitars and prominent organ textures. The contrast is particularly effective because both songs retain a strong sense of melody.

The Somedays have emerged with relatively little biographical fanfare, allowing the recordings to establish their identity rather than relying on an elaborate promotional narrative. Their latest material suggests a group comfortable drawing from Australian independent music history without simply recreating it. Guitar pop has supposedly been declared obsolete on numerous occasions. Fortunately, nobody appears to have informed The Somedays, who are considerably too busy writing songs to attend the funeral.
