Blending gritty guitar tones, driving rhythms, and emotionally charged vocals. ‘FLASHBACK’ Captures the raw intensity that has become the hallmark of the band’s sound. The Track dives headfirst into themes of memory, regret, and the inescapable pull of the past-delivering a chorus that hits hard and lingers in your mind.
“‘FLASHBACK’ is about moving through the past, and shifting into the new person you become once closing those doors,” says the band. “It’s that feeling of consciously moving on and choosing peace when remnants of the past baggage show up.”
Produced and recorded by Paulie B (Lord Tanuki Himself) and mixed by industry powerhouse Nick DiDia, “FLASHBACK’ Showcases SPEIRA’s evolution as one of Brisbane’s most compelling emerging alternative rock acts. From its brooding verses to its anthems, high-impact hook, the single balances vulnerability with explosive energy.
Having built a reputation for intense live performances and a growing local following, SPEIRA continue to carve out their place in Austraia’s alternative scene. “FLASHBACK” signals a confident new chapter for the band-bigger, heavier and more emotionally resonant that ever before.
FLASHBACK – Lyrics
Why do I feel alive now you’re gone?
Why do I feed the fire solo?
Tell me another lie, I’ll hold a straight face this time
Still never wonder why you’re gone
But, what if I am not broken?
What if I can’t control it?
He brings you down
Get another flashback
What if I can’t control it? (Oooh)
I don’t want it
No I don’t
I don’t want it
No I don’t
I don’t want it
(Ay, ay, ay, ay)
Tell me another lie
How do you sleep at night?
Still never wonder why
Why do I feel alive now you’re gone?
Why do I feed the fire solo?
Tell me another lie
I’ll hold a straight face this time
Still never wonder why you’re gone
But, what if I am not broken?
What if I can’t control it?
He brings you down
Get another flashback
What if I can’t control it?
(Oooh)
I don’t want it
No I don’t
I don’t want it
No I don’t
I don’t want it
(Ay, ay, ay, ay)
Tell me another lie
How do you sleep at night?
Still never wonder why
Now that you’re gone
How do you sleep at night?
Baby I’m sleeping fine
Still never wonder why
Now that you’re gone
