Hailing from Adelaide in Australia, Scott Middlin is a creative who applies his talents across music, literature and visual art. Known primarily as the frontman of the alternative rock band Emecia, Scott has earned a reputation for blending powerful emotion with high-octane sonic energy.
A veteran of the Adelaide music scene, he’s previously lent his talents to bands like Emerald City and Against the Atlantic, but it was with Emecia that he truly hit his stride. Combining post-hardcore and punk rock influences, Emecia caught attention with their 2013 EP Pariah and confirmed their legacy with their 2018 debut album Familiar Spirits.
As a musician, tattoo artist and author, Scott Middlin’s artistic journey has been defined by his versatility and insatiable drive for creative expression. Drawing inspiration from a wide array of acts including Story Of The Year, My Chemical Romance and Saosin, his work shakes with a sense of meaningful reflection and emotional impact. Now, opening a new chapter as a solo artist, he’s set to bring to life his own sound while drawing on the themes that have earned him previous success.
Marking the launch of his solo project, he’s unveiled his debut single titled “Comisery,” a compelling exploration of the post alternative emo sound. The track fuses atmospheric instrumentals with heartfelt lyricism, delivering an emotional punch via his gripping vocal style. Thematically, the song explores the intricacies of longing and self-reflection, set against a sonic backdrop that feels at once nostalgic and cutting edge.
With its enthralling melodies and driving energy, the track strikes a delicate balance between poignant writing and intensity. Launching straight into an uptempo hard rock sound, bright lead guitar notes glide above the crunch of rhythms and pounding drums before Scott’s engaging vocal lines enter, belting out memorable melodic lines throughout.
With an anthemic chorus that’s catchy and anthemic in equal measure, the track lays down a raucous dose of the artist’s original solo sonic vision. Packed full of charging guitars and lively drums capped by impassioned vocal performance, “Comisery” serves up an explosive modern rock sound that marks the arrival of Scott Middlin as a thrilling solo artist.
