Sydney songwriter Bryan Estepa has just released his brand new Josh Pyke-produced EP Back To The Middle, including its title-track single. The song kicks off like an 80s Springsteen outtake before settling into an irresistible head-nodding rhythm and a super-catchy chorus that swells with an Elvis Costello organ and a Beach Boys-sounding pop exuberance. ‘Everything You Wanted’ changes gear into a wistful Americana-tinged power pop vista with an exquisite Nels Cline-styled guitar solo.

The rest of the EP includes previous singles ‘Admit Now, Pay Later’ and ‘Trick Of The Light’ plus a couple of unreleased gems and a cover of Bob Dylan’s ‘I Threw It All Away’.
