Melbourne rockers Thornhill have given us another glimpse of their upcoming album Heroine due out on 3rd June in the form of new single “Raw”. The song has some serious sexy rock swag, flitting between groove laden riffing, big rockout moments and soft ambience. The guitars have some serous detuned crunch while the vocals are saturated to the max, Deftones style creating a fresh sound that sets Thornhill apart from a lot of their peers. “Raw” is heavy and soft in the same breathe and thematically inspired by classic Hollywood and cinematic scores as vocalist Jacob Charlton explains:

“The story of the song ‘Raw’ follows an actress’s responses to various requests, love letters and desperate attempts made by fans and stalkers after her first major success, appearing in a soon to be cult classic film. This song primarily focuses on character of the voice rather than complex melodies and harmonies so I really wanted to bring a story to life that matches the attitude of the instruments. The way that she fights back these attempts and turns them down requires a lot of bravery and strength and it was more of the angle I wanted to hit, rather than relying on angry, dark lyrical themes.”
