Australian indie-rock band Pacific Avenue is back in the spotlight with their highly anticipated new single, “Working Class Hero,” and its accompanying video. Releasing in September 2025, this track is more than just a song; it’s a heartfelt tribute to the band’s roots and the quiet strength of regional communities. By blending their signature anthemic rock sound with deeply personal storytelling, Pacific Avenue has crafted an ode to their hometowns of Kiama and Gerringong.
A Powerful Tribute to Hometown Roots
The band’s connection to their origins is at the very core of this new release. As they explain, “‘Working Class Hero’ serves as a tribute to our hometowns of Kiama and Gerringong, and the hardworking people who keep them alive.” The song poignantly captures the mixed emotions of leaving behind family and friends to chase a dream. While the verses evoke the nostalgia of small-town life, the chorus explores the longing and uncertainty that comes with such a significant change. It’s a powerful message that resonates with anyone who has left home but never stopped carrying their community with them. The music video further reinforces this by showcasing the unsung heroism and grit that built their identity.
A New Chapter Following Major Success
“Working Class Hero” marks an exciting new chapter for Pacific Avenue, building on the momentum of their 2023 debut album, Flowers. That album was a critical and commercial success, achieving the #1 ARIA Australian Album Chart spot and earning two ARIA nominations for ‘Best Rock Album’ and ‘Michael Gudinski Breakthrough Artist’. The band has already earned significant praise from major publications like NME, The Guardian, and Clash Magazine, and their music has found a wide audience through extensive playlist support on platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music.
