Sound Affliction Focus On Mental Health with New Track, Leave The Light On

Brisbane rock outfit Sound Affliction have shown their tremendous range via first two singles, the emotionally charged Sober and the riff frenzy of Devil In Me.

Today, with ‘Leave The Light On’ they deliver another powerful track, full of sincere moments and mature songwriting.

The band comment that Leave The Light On “is about experiencing mental illness, and the need for help and acceptance from others. In this complicated world we live in, it is easy for one to fall through the cracks and be left with depression and no drive to move forward. Sometimes, you need love from another to give you the strength to push on through.”

XMusic Bossman, Tim McLean-Smith says “Sound Affliction continue to deliver huge songs to get your teeth into and are growing strength to strength. Can’t wait to see these songs live as we head into 2026”

Though Sound Affliction might be unfamiliar, the band’s lineup is stacked with seasoned talent. Frontman Matt, previously of Scandal Tree and Don’t Come Monday, commands your attention with a vocal range that shifts effortlessly from raw intensity to soaring majesty. Guitarists Dan (Black Whiskey) and Wayne (Scandal Tree, Cactus Dill Dos) are a dual-edged harmonious sword, weaving shredding riffage with melodic beauty to create songs that sound instantly familiar but also completely new.

Drummer Travis, also from Don’t Come Monday, drives the band’s engine and can take it from zero to a hundred in an instant. On bass Kev Brown (Pyre & Ice), brings a massive low end anchor to the bands massive sound.
