Post-Punk Band Takes Chances With Gripping New Single

War Room has proven itself to be one of the most sonically complex bands currently coming of age in the Adelaide music scene.

The post-punk five-piece delights in complicated time signatures, playful melodies, and layered textures, and has made a name for themselves with their chaotic onstage charisma and infectious tunes.

Since being founded by musicians Louis Campbell and Luka Kilgariff, the band has only grown in stature, releasing lauded, whimsical singles such as Pumpkins and The Trouble With Me in 2023, and earlier this year the frenetic track The Top Floor, complete with an inventive accompanying music video directed by local film-making luminary Conor Mercury.

Following the success of The Top Floor, War Room now presents the I Found, the next single off of their upcoming debut album Please Don't Fight In Here, which is slated for a 2025 release.

The single, which will grace all streaming platforms on Friday, November 29th, features Louis Campbell on vocals and guitar, Luka Kilgariff on guitar, Harry Blight on drums, Swapmeet’s Maxwell Elphick on bass, and Twine’s Thea Martin on violin.

“It's us at our most frenetic and timid,” says Kilgariff of the single. “I Found was one of the first songs we wrote. It came together in early rehearsals in a room with no natural light in the overcrowded share-house I was living in at the time.”

The setting of the song’s fruition makes sense - I Found is claustrophobic in nature, possessing a contained yet zany energy.

The single release will see the band once again collaborating with Conor Mercury for another inspired music video.

I Found will be out on all streaming platforms on Friday, and Please Don't Fight In Here will be out everywhere in early 2025.
