Punk-Funk band, Def Nettle, release synth layered new single

Music Review | 3rd March, 2025 Def Nettle

After a year-long hiatus following the release of their debut album DN001 in February 2024, punk-funk band Def Nettle, take a musical diversion with their latest single with eerie gothic-rock tones.

Get Me Here sees the band pivot slightly from their previous post-punk offerings towards a more folktronic sound, reflective of influences such as Bon Iver, Beck and Sufjan Stevens. The track marks a sharp change from their early work, but leaves space for producer, Glen Brady's raw vocal and colorful use of synthesizers. Ely Siegel's live bass is seamless, providing subtle melodic and rhythmic depth that effortlessly glues together the acoustic guitar, sound fx and ambient quality of the track.

Delivering their signature combination of a classic emo soundscape and tongue-in-cheek lyrics, the band retain a raw punky attitude. Touching on themes of tenderness and the role of masculinity in the modern world, the song revolves around the evolution of long term relationships and self reflection, but resolves itself in a cathartic and positive tone.

On remix duty is DJ Arveene, who brings the song straight to an indie dancefloor setting, turning the tune on its head and making it a straight up banger that would be comfortable at any late night rave spot with a vocal friendly radio remix plus a vocoder dub version.
