Meet Wattmore, the cowpunk duo redefining musical boundaries with their debut single, Circus Life. Brothers Aiden and Kai, are stepping into the spotlight with a sound that blends their eclectic influences — Oasis, Green Day, Frank Turner, and Waylon Jennings — to create a unique musical identity.
There’s no backup plan for Wattmore; music is their life. The songwriting powerhouse of Aiden, Kai, and legendary songwriter Allan Caswell has crafted something special. After countless hours refining their arrangements, the result is a track that resonates deeply. As Caswell notes, “This is exciting. There are no limits, no barriers, and no filters. Wattmore sits out there with alt-country and Americana but with a real feel for the history of what they’re playing.”
Produced by Lindsay Waddington at LWM House, Circus Life features contributions from some of the finest musicians in Australia. The energy in the studio was electric, and the final product is a testament to the band’s raw talent and the team’s dedication.
Circus Life is more than just a song; it’s a story. The title subtly references the brothers’ experience with autism and the way it sets them apart. Through haunting melodies and evocative lyrics, the track captures the feelings of isolation and the challenge of fitting in. Ethereal and disjointed, Circus Life provides listeners with a glimpse into the raw emotions that inspire Wattmore’s music.
This debut single is just the beginning. Wattmore is hard at work on their first album, an eclectic blend of classic country, punk, rockabilly, and blues. With Circus Life as a teaser, Wattmore promises a future of fearless and groundbreaking music. This debut track is a testament to the unlimited potential of a duo that refuses to be confined by genre or expectations.
