If there’s one thing Fendahlene is best at, it’s making songs that feel like they were written specifically for you. The song becomes your story, the messages are your facts, and the tones are carefully plucked and combined for your enjoyment. This is true for their recently released single “Silent Treatment,” a relatable song that perfectly catches the whole the stress, tension, and awkwardness felt and brought by the holiday seasons when things don’t go as planned in a family gathering. This is something that we have all experienced along the way, we had those moments where we had to just sit in the corner and feel the raging emotions deep inside us and this song perfectly packs just that.
Released on December 12, 2024, this 2-minute and 50-second goodness is packed with great hooks right from its opening notes that make the whole alternative rock vibe impossible to ignore. Throughout the song, you will hear how a careful mix of classic punk, indie rock, and garage rock was layered and unpacked for your ears to enjoy, making this perfectly messy and chaotic soundtrack that reflects the emotions and themes that it carries.
The vocals are great, and Paul Whiteley, who’s also in charge of the guitar, is the major contributor to that. It’s like listening to a friend ranting about their day—it is sincere, it is honest, and it is grounded. Ashley Hurst’s careful yet skillfully strong ministrations on his bass added a great burst of power and intensity to the track, serving as a proper backbone to the song. It’s no wonder that Fendahlene has been a constant on the Sydney Live Circuit for 10 years; undeniably, the band is packed with power and great music.
With “Silent Treatment,” this song proves that Fendahlene’s sound is unquestionably good – this band packs great sound, as the song is well-written, well-produced, and is absolutely a must-listen! The only bad thing about it is that it’s criminally short! We will have to watch out for Fendahlene’s upcoming releases, so be sure to drop by and give them a follow to have first dibs on their music updates! So, listen to “Silent Treatment”! This is something that you would definitely enjoy! Stream it on Spotify now!
