Stand Atlantic: Skinny Dipping
Aussie trio Stand Atlantic are baring all on their new album.
Pop-punk often gets a bum rap for being limited to angsty teens; for those going through an emotional development and needing a voice to help them out. Really though, it’s so much more - the genre offers escapism for everyone, cementing moments in time.
For Stand Atlantic singer and guitarist Bonnie Fraser, the band’s debut album ‘Skinny Dipping’ has offered up a chance to unpack herself on the quest to create this moment for others.
Talking to Bonnie, who’s on tour in the US and currently pitched up in Richmond, Virginia, she holds a refreshing self-awareness for both her position and the genre that she and her band are rooting themselves in.
“We don’t like going with the grain. We go against the grain in every kind of way,” she says defiantly. “From a personal point of view lyrically, there’s no way I’m ever going to sing about ‘getting out of my town’, and all that kind of thing. I just can’t stand it.
