Big news for The Dreggs today.
The Sunshine Coast indie-folk duo – Paddy Macrae and Zane Harris – have just revealed their second album, The Art of Uncommon Practice, along with a fresh new single.
“Get Knocked Down” is their latest track, a lively guitar-driven track co-written and co-produced with Matt Corby and Chris Collins.
“‘Get Knocked Down’ is all about the experiences of getting older,” Macrae shares. “Some embrace it with open arms, while others struggle with the concept of aging. It’s a song that touches on the internal conflict about the balance of feeling older while understanding that getting older doesn’t mean you are running out of time. It’s a song about reminding yourself that while reminiscing on past times may lead to feeling older, it’s also important to accept that there is still time to achieve your goals, whatever they may be. ”
