Gyroscope To Circle Australia For Australia

Gyroscope will lap Australia in August and September in support of their new single 'Australia'.

'Australia' is the third single from the Perth four-piece's number one album 'Breed Obsession'.

Of the song, singer Daniel Sanders says "I remember musically penning the song just after I'd been up to Derby in the Kimberly region of WA. I'd been up there with my wife Jess visiting her sister who's a remote nurse. I've always had a connection with the indigenous community and having never been up into this region before, the beauty of the land revealed itself to me and I realised the powerful interaction between the land and the community. I guess that was the trigger that made me actually put something down, seeing and spending time with that part of our country inspired me. Lyrical inspiration then came from the heart and felt relatively easy and just felt right to me. I'm writing about coming to Australia from the mother country, I came over with my English mum and Australian dad when I was two. My entire upbringing has been here and now I'm old enough to realise, I cherish that. I wanted to celebrate Australia as a country on its merits. I am just a visitor who washed up on the shore and can only tell a story from what I see and have learnt."
