Brisbane punk-rock favorites Beddy Rays are gearing up to release their highly-anticipated sophomore album titled Do What Ya Wanna on Friday, 18th April 2025. The band has been slowly teasing the album with singles, including their latest track ‘Red Lights.’

Following the success of their previous singles ‘Stay The Same’ and ‘Hold On,’ ‘Red Lights’ continues to showcase the band’s unique brand of energetic punk infused with a sense of larrikin spirit. The song delves into themes of ‘otherness,’ self-discovery, and the importance of giving oneself the time and freedom to navigate life’s challenges.

In a press statement, the band shared their thoughts on ‘Red Lights,’ stating, “We chose this song because we feel like it sets the tone for the record. It’s about overcoming adversity, going through tough times but remaining positive and growing from those moments. Hoping it will resonate with those going through a tough time as it’s a reminder that things will always get better.”

Accompanying the single is a visually compelling music video with a Western-inspired aesthetic, directed, produced, and edited by Natalie Sim. The video adds an extra layer of storytelling to the track, enhancing its emotional depth and capturing the essence of the song’s message.

As fans eagerly await the release of Beddy Rays’ upcoming album Do What Ya Wanna, the band promises that it will mark a significant evolution in their sound. Drawing inspiration from punk legends like Green Day and Weezer, while also incorporating melodic influences from bands like Catfish and the Bottlemen, the album explores themes of friendship, mental health, and the journey of self-discovery.

Frontman Jacko shared his thoughts on the album, stating, “This album is us – our highs, our lows, and everything in between. Writing it was a way to make sense of all the craziness life throws at you, but it’s also about not taking yourself too seriously and enjoying the ride. That’s what Beddy Rays is all about.”
