Powderfinger’s Golden Rule Post by: Eddie Ruckus - Rockin' Blogger 11 September, 2009 - 10:35 AM
Powderfinger have just revealed the release details for their new studio album.
It’s called Golden Rule and it will be out November 13.
The first single is a track called “All Of The Dreamers” and you’ll be able to hear right here exactly two weeks from today. [Obviously we’ll try and steal a copy to let you hear before that!]
“On this record we made our approach from a different angle,” says Bernard Fanning.
“We made an effort to steer away from the ‘habits’, whether good or bad, that we had developed when writing together over the years. It gave the songs an entirely new energy that we have never really tapped into before.
“‘All of the Dreamers’ is the most consistently upbeat song that we have written in our entire career. It’s a sideways glance at the sometimes redundant nature of party politics.
“It’s not a particularly political song actually, in the sense that it is taking a side, just a general dissatisfaction with the way ‘democracy’ can be blindsided by the self interest that holding onto power can generate.
“I suppose in that sense it alludes to any kind of relationship, whether it be political, business or personal.”
No worries, Bern – as long as we can sing along!
Do you reckon Powderfinger have still got it?

Have they still got it - they are young... good on em I reckon.
My mate can remember them playing with Coldplay a few years back... can't remember now... but I think Coldplay were the support act... how things change - can't wait to hear it ..
