Jebediah have returned with their first new music in twelve years. The Perth rock band have dropped the comeback single ‘Gum Up The Bearings’, along with a fistful of tour dates to cap off 2023.
In the lead-up to their slot on the Good Things 2023 lineup, alongside Fall Out Boy and Limp Bizkit, the Jebs will visit fans in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney and Perth this November.
Jebediah – ‘Gum Up The Bearings’
Rooted in both the past and the present, ‘Gum Up The Bearings’ is Jebediah’s first new release since 2011’s Kosciuszko LP (which hit #6 on the ARIA charts).
“It doesn’t feel like that many years have passed since Kosciuszko, but that’s part of the phenomenon of becoming middle aged, I suppose,” guitarist and vocalist Kevin Mitchell said in a press statement.
“In some respects, it’s quite a relief, as we started working on new music back in 2018 and then so much happened during the ensuing years that could have easily just killed the whole project altogether,” he continued. “However, I think maybe sheer tenacity won out in the end, and here we are with a brand new song, some five years later. Apart from being a relief, it also feels like an accomplishment for Jebediah to still be creating new music after nearly 30 years together – we’re not ready to be a nostalgia act just yet.”
Mitchell recently announced a solo tour, playing the hits from both Jebediah and his Bob Evans project this October.
