From the nestled tranquility of Bells Beach, Australia, the unexpected sounds of The Burbs have burst forth, like the crashing of waves on the salient shore. With their newest single ‘There’s No Time For Presents’, this emerging trio makes their mark with this gutsy indie-rock release which toes the line between melodic euphoria, emotional reckoning and grungey angst.
From the first second, this track pulls us into the swell thanks to those impactful drums, gritty bassline and nifty guitar work. It’s an insistent, unrelenting energy that delivers the band’s well-honed craft, one that hasn’t lost that essential raw, DIY edge. This soundscape pairs well with the self-aware lyrics, “highly doubt if I could’ve done any more, but what happens at the times when you’re not sure.” There’s something so relatable about this sentiment. We’ve all sat with regret at one time or another, perhaps that’s where you are right now, and songs like this can be a useful way to process uncertainty.
Between the catchy chorus, pensive vocals and searing guitar solo, ‘There’s No Time For Presents’ is a bold and constructive track should convince any listener to jump on The Burbs bandwagon. Be on the lookout for more from this Australian one-to-watch, including 2026 tour dates to be announced any day now.
