Walk into any club and you're bound to hear one of their songs.
Party rockers, Bombs Away, are up to their necks with new projects, with the lads readying themselves to tour their latest single, ‘Better Luck Next Time’.
The song strays from the themes of their previous singles, 'Big Booty Bitches' and 'Super Soaker', proving upbeat dance music can relate to all kinds of moments in life.
“The overall theme behind the track is about self-empowerment and about standing up for yourself and not letting people walk over you,” one half of the duo, Sketch Coleman, says.
In just five years, the Bombs Away boys have made a name for themselves, achieving incredible support for their projects and proving to be club favourites.
“The videos are quite tongue-in-cheek and they're so cliché that we hope people find the humour in it.
"They're actually like a cartoon version of that party cliché. On the surface they're just fun videos – the internet loves them, you can just enjoy your day and forget about stuff that you’re worrying about.
"That's what Bombs Away really stands for — moving forward and forgetting about all the junk that you've got to do during the week and realise that life's not so serious all of the time.”
On the flipside, the pair do have a serious side behind the party persona — just recently providing online emotional support for fans.
“Sometimes people can't really talk to their friends or family because they feel like they're being judged. So we made a status saying: ‘We're normal people as well, so send us a message and we'll have a chat’.
"If we can help people, that’s more important than everything we've achieved officially. I think people with a big reach definitely have some responsibility to use that for a positive purpose — that's what people are here on Earth for.”
With the pair already jetsetting around the country (Sketch was at the airport during this interview), the next few weeks will be spent living out of hotel rooms. But it’s a life Sketch certainly isn’t complaining about.
“We're gonna do a bit of a road trip and come and party and we'll be testing out our new singles at shows as well, so we hope people like it,”
he says.
“A lot of times we'll come from a festival in America to Dubbo here in Australia and people will say 'why are you playing here?' It's such a weird thing that people from smaller areas or smaller venues feel like they shouldn't have bigger acts.
"We actually have some of the best shows ever at places you wouldn't expect.”
