SINGLE REVIEW: Gernz - It's been a while...
Australia’s music scene has been on a tear recently, delivering one gem after another across an impressive array of genres. Gernz is the latest addition to this ever-growing roster of talent, bringing their own brand of grungy, punky Ausrock to the table. With their debut single, ‘It’s been a while…’, they’ve announced themselves with style, packing a lot into just 2 minutes and 11 seconds of pure energy.
The track bursts to life with angular guitars and splashy drums, immediately setting the tone for its infectious, uptempo vibe. There’s a rawness here, but it’s balanced by captivating melodic vocals that give the song its irresistible charm. The rhythm section keeps things lively and groovy, pulling you in with a buoyant energy that never lets up. Surf rock undertones weave through the fuzzed-out layers, giving the track a rebellious edge that’s both nostalgic and fresh.
‘It’s been a while…’ is one of those songs that grabs your attention from the first note and doesn’t let go. It’s effervescent, catchy, and unapologetically fun—a perfectly formed punk rock gem that practically begs you to crank up the volume and rock out.
Gernz might be just getting started, but this debut proves they’re a name to watch in the thriving Australian music scene.
