Boorloo/Perth, Western Australian indie-rockers Streetlights close out a breakthrough year with “What’s Your Name Again?,” which is a wide-eyed, bittersweet rush of a single that captures the spark of falling for a stranger on the morning commute. Built on wiry guitars, kaleidoscopic synths, and John Toplis‘ buttery, harmony-laden vocals, the track bottles that fleeting moment when you lock eyes with someone across a crowded bus and lose them just as quickly. Since emerging in 2021, Streetlights have carved out a sharp upward path, releasing their debut EP Bad Actors (2024), dropping a fan-favorite cover of “Everybody Wants to Rule the World,” and lighting up stages alongside DICE, Surf Trash, The Stamps, and Death by Denim. Their momentum has earned praise from triple j, Spotify, Happy Mag, global radio support on Passport Approved, and more, including a premiere on Home & Hosed and editorial playlisting on Spotify‘s Local Noise. Toplis describes the spark behind the song as – “You’re catching the bus, and someone sits directly across from you. You lock eyes and BAM! You’ve fallen in love with a stranger, only for them to get off at the next stop!” Both restless and romantic, “What’s Your Name Again?” lands as an irresistible indie-rock anthem about the kind of connection that hits hard and disappears fast, a reminder of how quickly something extraordinary can slip through your fingers.
