“Last Train to Wyong” is a comical alt rock tune that offers riveting electric guitar riffs and catchy rhythms that showcase the talent of Scared of Sharks, as well as a funny story and playful vocals that display their creativity and lively spirit at the same time. Scared of Sharks says the track is inspired by a time when their drummer, Tim Shady, went a little too hard at a rave and lost all of his belongings, ending the night by taking a wrong train to Wyong instead of Wollongong. Though this was probably a confusing night for Shady, it led to a great song that is sure to get any listener laughing and grooving.
Narrative driven lyrics like “on the train to Wyong, supposed to be going to Wollongong” and “can’t you see I did a number on myself last night” tell this tale in real time, as if we are watching Shady stumble through his wild night ourselves. Melodic bass, head-banging drums, and grungy guitar solos heighten the chaos of the story to make a track that is danceable and lighthearted.
The music video for “Last Train to Wyong” is a step further into the amusing world of Scared of Sharks, showing two members of the band on a train singing and dancing along to the song. With humorous lip syncing and a classic 2000s warped, pink filter, the music video is the perfect visual to go along with this one of a kind track. Scared of Sharks offers a departure from boring reality with this silly, yet captivating story.
