Up until the start of the year, Sydney indie-rock four-piece CREO had been a little quiet on the recorded front since 2015's successful releases Suay and Light It Up, but they've not been resting on their laurels.
Rather, they've been making sure their upcoming EP, Subtitles For X, Y, Z is just right, and they're finally ready to start showing parts of it off ahead of its release this August. Having already whet appetites with EP opener Behind The Beat earlier this year, the band are now unveiling follow-up tune Give Me Yours, proudly premiering on theMusic.com.au today.
The band's energy at their live show has been a repeated point of distinction over their career, and Give Me Yours does a remarkable job of encapsulating that passion and professionalism in a tight, infectious three-and-a-half minutes. Understandably, that reputation has translated into an ever-growing list of sold-out hometown gigs and high-profile support slots, having served as national tour-mates for the likes of British India, Tired Lion, Bad//Dreems, Last Dinosaurs and Spookyland.

Give Me Yours deals in some personal themes for frontman Jorjee Haman, who describes himself as being prone to "go through these waves of emotions where I want something so bad, I'll kick everything I know and love to get it".
"Give Me Yours is all about that undying desperation to achieve, love and be loved or in more general terms; whatever it is you long for that nothing else in the world matters any more, almost to the point of an unhealthy obsession," he explained in a statement.
The band worked with renowned producer Nathan Sheehy (Birds Of Tokyo, Bluejuice, Dune Rats) in crafting Subtitles For X, Y, Z, and will usher it out into the world on 25 August.
CREO's next gig is at the Chippendale Hotel on Friday 16 June for the single's launch; be sure to connect with them on Facebook and keep your eyes on theGuide for future show announcements as they approach the EP's release.
