Hailing from the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia, Treehouse is a high-octane rock outfit that started as a duo jamming during high school. Now a quartet, the band features the talents of Josh Anderson and Ben Warland on vocals and guitar, with Caleb Reno on bass and drummer James D’Rozario. With an electrifying stage presence and a reputation for beer-soaked, mosh pit-filled live shows, Treehouse has swiftly became one of the region’s most exciting bands.
In May 2022 they burst onto the music scene with their debut single “Wear a Face,” followed up by sophomore track “Ghost” before their breakout debut EP titled Seems Reasonable saw them pack shows in their hometown and secured them slots throughout South East Queensland. Notably, Treehouse achieved a significant milestone by supporting the iconic rock band Wolfmother during multiple shows on their Australian tour.
Now, after a hiatus from releasing new music, they’ve made their highly anticipated return with a brand new single, bringing us their latest track “Clique.” Dialling up their already raucous sound to the max, their new single sees Treehouse serve up an epic punch of modern punk rock music.
The inspiration behind “Clique” draws from frontman Josh’s teenage years as an outcast skateboarder idolising Black Flag and NOFX. The song serves as a simple yet powerful rebellion against societal norms, exploring themes of individuality, the empowerment of self-identity and a total rejection of conformity.
Kicked off with the clicks of drum sticks, a pulsing bass guitar line takes the lead as clean guitar chords shine above the soft punch of kick drum. With the gritty tone of lead electric guitar and rising splash of cymbals, the band builds up the tension before launching into a grooving punk sound packed full of bouncy rhythm and crunchy guitar chords.
The lead vocals enter, spinning commanding delivery carrying angsty lyricism, ushering in the chorus with an outcry of “I don’t give a fuck about your clique.” Crafting an explosive punk sound with pounding drums, driving guitars and bass and capped by an emphatic vocal performance and slick lead guitar flourishes, “Clique” lays down an enduring sound of punk rock music presented in the band’s own modern way. The song sees Treehouse make a sensational return that’s sure to delight existing listeners while winning over new fans around the world.
