If you read my review of San Cisco’s excellent debut EP ‘Golden Revolver’ then you already know that I’m kind of a big fan of the teenage Perth band. It should come as no surprise then that I also really like their latest song (I think it’s been floating around for a while but I must have missed it), ‘Awkward’.

At the time I was disappointed to find out that it was unreleased, but the band have recently rectified this, releasing the song as a single and a free download from their Bandcamp page. Yay!
