Out today through Virgin Music Group, Stand Atlantic have unleashed their latest soaring rock anthem, ‘NEXT2U’. Serving as the final teaser ahead of their forthcoming album GODBREATH, set for release on Friday 23 October, the new single arrives just as the group prepares to embark on another massive slate of international tour dates.

At its core, ‘NEXT2U’ is a love song dedicated to chosen family: those unbreakable bonds of friendship that sustain you regardless of distance. Balancing themes of long-distance yearning and homesickness, the track pairs the infectious melodies that define the GODBREATH era with massive guitar riffs and a thunderous drum performance, driving toward an insanely euphoric, anthemic climax.

Flipping the traditional love song on its head to celebrate life's most essential connections, lead vocalist and songwriter Bonnie Fraser shares: "This is definitely a love song but there's also lots of references to being away from home and far from people that make you feel good. We're so lucky to tour the world with our best friends but this is an ode to the people back home that you still miss. Sometimes it's hard to stay present because you want to be somewhere else. ‘NEXT2U’ is a love song you can send to your homies."

Throughout GODBREATH, Stand Atlantic venture into bold new territory while remaining more authentic to their roots than ever. Deep, unfiltered emotion anchors the entire LP, showcased in Fraser’s uninhibited, stream-of-consciousness lyrical style and fueled by the band's organic dynamic, which was captured via live studio tracking. Fearless, expansive, and undeniably thrilling, the record merges turn-of-the-century pop-rock with contemporary pop-punk edge—pushing their musical boundaries without sacrificing the signature sound that established them as a standout force in alternative music. Previously heralded by fan-favorite singles ‘Velcro’, ‘LUCID’, and ‘EDGE OF VEGAS’, GODBREATH captures Stand Atlantic stepping decisively past their comfort zone.

Across more than ten years as a band, Stand Atlantic have earned a worldwide reputation for pushing those exact limits. On top of selling out headlining tours throughout Australia, the UK, Europe, and North America, they have shared stages with heavyweights like Sum 41, A Day To Remember, I Prevail, ONE OK ROCK, and MOD SUN, while taking the stage at major festivals such as Reading & Leeds, Warped Tour, Slam Dunk, and Good Things. The group's relentless schedule rolls on through 2026, featuring UK arena shows alongside Simple Plan as well as a North American run with Story of the Year and Silverstein.

Ever since their major breakthrough with 2017's Sidewinder EP, Stand Atlantic have racked up over 500 million global streams across four full-length records. They've earned widespread praise from outlets like Kerrang!, BBC Radio 1, and triple j, while consistently making waves on the UK, ARIA, and Billboard charts. Powered by hits like their ARIA Platinum-certified track ‘Deathwish’ featuring nothing,nowhere., which has officially topped 57 million streams, the band continues to solidify their standing as one of modern alt-rock's absolute biggest success stories.
