Watch the new video for 'Tried and True (Raise the Roof)' below. Brisbane fans can see Jeremy perform tonight at Jet Black Cat for a very special in-store at 6.30PM. Across March, Jeremy will perform at Red Eye Records in Sydney, Summertown Studios in Adelaide and Rocksteady Records in Melbourne. Full details available below. Since his 2017 debut album release, Neale took out the 2018 Queensland Music Award for Song of The Year for single Dancin’ & Romancin’, signed a global publishing deal with GAGA International / Rough Trade, received extensive play across US college radio and was the recipient of the Grant McLennan Fellowship. As part of this fellowship Neale spent three months in New York City during 2018, attending a songwriting masterclass at NYU, collaborating with local writers and as it turns out, most importantly, resetting his life. Many years stuck in a cycle of ever-changing work, relentless side-hustling and various degrees of financial ruin had taken a toll and the opportunity to escape the pressure cooker for a brief period of time helped immensely to cure the burnout. The distance from home enabled a birds-eye view of what was and wasn’t working and enabled him to figure out what exactly he wanted from music and how the desire to create music could fit into a life worth living. Upon his return home to Brisbane, Australia, armed with new purpose and an openness to collaboration, he set to work on recording his sophomore record We Were Trying to Make It Out. Sonically, We Were Trying to Make It Out contains Neale’s penchant for melodic hooks, delivered coherently and directly without compromise or pastiche. This is the Jeremy Neale sound - the result of years of searching and refining - honest, fully realised and immediate. Guitar pop underpinned by classic songwriting is potentially the recipe for finding oneself outside the current musical climate but is also the hallmark of creating something truly timeless. On We Were Trying to Make It Out Neale explains the album title as the justification for the brutality you’ll put yourself through in an attempt to escape your demons.“There are a lot of sacrifices you have to make in order to create music if you’re not major label backed or independently wealthy and every mistake you make has direct consequences for your everyday quality of life." We Were Trying to Make It Out is a record written across two cities and two years. Early Jeremy Neale recordings might have read as a tribute to those who came before him, but here on his second record - he has found his sound and his voice.   Stream / Purchase We Were Trying To Make It Out: https://jeremyneale.lnk.to/WWTTMIO Jeremy Neale - 'Tried and True (Raise the Roof)' JEREMY NEALE IN-STORE DATES Friday 28th February - Brisbane Jet Black Cat Music, 6.30PM 72A Vulture Street West End, QLD 4101 Event Page Thursday 5th March - Sydney Red Eye Records, 5.00PM 143 York Street Sydney NSW 2000 Event Page Thursday 19th March - Adelaide Summertown Studios, 7.00PM 13 Paringa Ave, Somerton Park SA 5044 Event Page Friday 20th March - Melbourne Rocksteady Records, 6.00PM Level 1, Mitchell House 358 Lonsdale St Melbourne VIC 3000 Event Page OTHER DATES Saturday 28th March - Brisbane Music at Nucleus, World Science Festival Brisbane Event Page
