Music: Big Feelings, Small Town Roots: Pacific Avenue’s Rise and the Power of What’s Left Unsaid

Pacific Avenue are a rising indie rock quartet from Gerringong, NSW, quickly establishing themselves as one of Australia’s most exciting new guitar bands. Their debut album Flowers (2023) marked a breakout moment, debuting #1 on the ARIA Australian Albums Chart and #1 on the AIR Independent Chart, earning ARIA and AIR Award nominations, a triple j Feature Album, and multiple Top 10 Most Played singles. Relentless touring, major support slots, and high-profile international syncs helped cement their reputation as a band with both local credibility and global momentum. They now move into a new creative chapter with their sophomore album Lovesick Sentimental, set for release on March 13, 2026.

“Things We Wanna Say” distills the emotional heart of Pacific Avenue’s songwriting. The song explores unspoken feelings, emotional hesitation, and the quiet weight of words left unsaid, pairing introspective verses with a soaring, cathartic chorus. Warm guitars, steady momentum, and an earnest vocal delivery turn personal restraint into something communal, making the track deeply relatable. It stands as a defining example of the band’s ability to transform everyday emotional tension into anthemic indie rock.
