WATTMORE Romantic Side

Romantic Side, Brisbane duo Wattmore kick down the doors of conventional love songs and set the rulebook ablaze. The Boak brothers Aiden and Kai deliver a rollicking, genre-defying anthem that trades saccharine sentimentality for razor-sharp wit and rebellious heart. It’s a track that doesn’t just sidestep clichés it gleefully tramples them under bootheels dusted in country dirt and punk sweat. The song barrels forward with attitude, its opening riff alone enough to signal that this ride is going to be rowdy, raw, and gloriously off-script.

What makes Romantic Side so infectious is its swaggering blend of genres. Alt-country grit meets rockabilly strut, while a punk sneer crackles just beneath the surface, keeping things unpredictable and exciting. Co-written with the iconic Allan Caswell and produced by Lindsay Waddington, the track maintains a balance between chaos and craftsmanship. Wattmore aren’t just goofing off they’re building a sonic bonfire out of broken hearts, bad dates, and the absurdity of modern love, and inviting us all to dance around it with a beer in hand and a grin on our faces.

The lyrics are sharp-edged and playful, taking aim at algorithmic dating and superficial charm with a wink that’s as endearing as it is incisive. But buried under the jabs and jests is a genuine affection for connection and a yearning for something real amid the swipe-right noise. Aiden’s gravel-tinged vocals ride the beat with effortless cool, while Kai’s harmonies and guitar work inject just the right amount of tension and twang. This isn’t satire for satire’s sake it’s truth told through a lens of humor, grit, and lived experience.

Wattmore’s Romantic Side doesn’t just entertain it recharges the spirit of a genre that often takes itself too seriously. It’s the musical equivalent of ripping off a tuxedo to reveal a leather jacket underneath, and doing so with a wink. Loud, unfiltered, and fiercely original, this track is bound to find a home with misfits, lovers, and anyone who’s ever rolled their eyes at a rom-com. It’s not just a song it’s a statement, and Wattmore deliver it with all the charm and chaos they’ve become known for.
