Brisbane, Australia indie surf-rock favorites Shag Rock deliver a dose of sun-soaked guitar pop with “Francesca,” a warm, jangly, and bittersweet standout from their new album, Three Deep Breaths. Beneath its infectious melodies and breezy energy, the track tells a familiar story of romantic misadventure, capturing the moment when warning signs are mistaken for love and optimism gives way to heartbreak. Released in late October, Three Deep Breaths marks Shag Rock’s first studio album in five years and a welcome return to the melodic, harmony-rich sound that first won them fans. Described by the band as a mantra of resilience, the record draws on years of personal and creative experiences, balancing vulnerability, and reflection with fresh sonic experimentation. From their beginnings in a Brisbane high school band room, Shag Rock has grown into one of Australia’s most successful independent indie-rock acts, amassing more than 100 million global streams, an ARIA Platinum certification for “Sunbleached Girl,” and ARIA Gold certifications for their debut album Barefoot and single “Champagne.” Their music has earned high rotation on triple j, support from Triple M and placements across major Spotify editorial playlists. Equally impressive live, they have headlined tours across Australia, New Zealand, and the U.S., played festivals including Splendour in the Grass, and supported The VANNS. Now, Shag Rock take Three Deep Breaths on the road for a run of Australian headline shows, with dates at Burleigh Town Hotel on the Gold Coast on November 21, Lions Art Factory in Adelaide on November 28, The Triffid in Brisbane on December 5, Oxford Art Factory in Sydney on December 11, and The Night Cat in Melbourne on December 12. With a live show that matches their sun-soaked sound with plenty of energy and heart, these dates bring fans a chance to experience the new album in full swing. Listen to “Francesca” HERE.
