​Staples are a Brisbane-based alternative rock band, formed in late 2019 by high-school mates Harry, Jason and Edward, together with multi-instrumentalist Zaac and drummer Mikaela.​ After an extended silence following the release of their debut EP “Another Melodramatic Mess" in December 2020, Staples are finally returning to the stage to launch of their new single “Optimist” and its accompanying energetic, colour-filled music video. With soaring synths, passionate vocals and jangly guitars on top of vigorous basslines and thunderous drums, "Optimist" echoes Staples’ post-punk and indie rock influences and establishes their new, tighter, visceral and more focused sound, while also hinting at the intricate, introspective and immersive new direction of Staples’ forthcoming music.
