Press Club are an Australian rock band who formed in 2017 out of Melbourne, Victoria. [2] The band's line-up includes lead vocalist and occasional guitarist Natalie Foster, guitarist and backing vocalist Greg Rietwyk, bassist Iain MacRae and drummer Frank Lees; it has remained unchanged since their formation. Prior to the formation of the band, Foster made indie folk music under the moniker of Tully On Tully. [3] Their debut single, "Headwreck", was released in May 2017, [1] and their debut album, Late Teens, was released in May 2018. Its follow-up, Wasted Energy, was released in 2019.
Their third album was supposed to be recorded in Germany in 2020, but did not occur due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The album was ultimately recorded in Melbourne over the ensuing year, and released as Endless Motion in October 2022. At the time of its release, drummer Frank Lees said in a statement: "The album is a culmination of years of downtime and introspection, false starts and disappointments, bushfires and pandemics. Factors that forced us to dig out parts of ourselves to sculpt a body of work that was as uncompromising and raw as our previous releases, but executed with more polish and finesse than we thought ourselves capable of." [4] The album was released on 14 October 2022.
In January 2025, the group announced the release of their fourth studio album, To All the Ones That I Love , which came out on 2 May 2025. [5]
