DEBUT SINGLE “WAKING UP” FROM DARK TALA IGNITES THE EMO RENAISSANCE
Born in the wake of Rage Against the Machine and System of a Down, and raised alongside My Chemical Romance, Bring Me the Horizon, and Evanescence comes Dark Tala - the newest kid on the Melbourne Alternative scene, ready to make their message heard with their first ever single coming on March 12th.
Their debut offering “Waking Up” is both a funeral and rebirth, an anthem and a warning, a promise of protection and a call to action. Within its words, distorted guitars, and blasting drums is the message that every lonely kid ever needed to hear - you have a power within you that no one can take away.


Within its layers you hear the impact of every artist that came before them. The harmonies of System of A Down, the meld of Rock and Hip Hop vocal delivery made iconic by Linkin Park, the impossible vocal range of Evanescence, and the fire of protest impressed upon us all by Rage Against the Machine. While honouring the artists that have come before them, Dark Tala still wields a sound and carries a message that is wholly and truthfully their own. They are no copy or imitation, but the child of all those influences that came before them, and in every way carrying the torch of what it means to be a mouthpiece in alternative music - to be a beacon of unity, honest expression, and justice.
Be sure to be among the first to hear “Waking Up” from Dark Tala, when it releases on March 12, 2025 - and don’t be left behind.
