  • Nice punk/rock range of songs
  • Very good and versatile vocals

Flyctory.com Cons

  • Few weaker songs

To All The Ones That I Love is already the fourth studio album by the band Press Club from Down Under. With their previous Endless Motion (2022), they managed to make it into the domestic album charts for the first time. A good opportunity to listen into their 2nd May 2025 release.

 

Press Club – About The Artists

Press Club is an Australian punk music group. The band’s voice is Natalie Foster, who is also taking the guitar duties alongside Greg Rietwyk. Ian MacRae is the bassist and Frank Lees the drummer of Press Club. With Endless Motion, the band even peaked third in the Australian Independent Record Label Charts. Founded in 2017 in Melbourne, the other record releases of the quartet are Late Teens (2018) and Wasted Energy (2019).

 

Press Club – To All The Ones That I Love – Track by Track

The ten track album lasts 35 minutes.

1. I Am Everything

Seven songs of To All The Ones That I Love have already been released before the album. This also applies for the opener I Am Everything. The song has a melancholic touch and thus is not a typical punk rocker. However, it is that special style which turns the song into a catching first listen.

2. Wilt

Wilt is one of the unreleased track. The song does not go for an intro, but kicks off directly with its refreshing, melodic style. The melodic, rhythmic style even spreads a touch of pop, while the guitar section rather reminds of alternative rock. The chorus is a really nice listen.

3. Champagne & Nikes

The single releases of Press Club’s album spread over quite a long time period. The third song, Champagne & Nikes, for example, has been released in October 2024. The song has been written after a discussion lead singer Natalie had at a supermarket cashier desk. That’s what songwriting is about. The song is the first one on this record, which comes with a clear punk attitude.

4. Wasted Days

With Wasted Days, Press Club go for a slightly more gentle melodic approach again. However, the song still spreads quite some rock attitude, especially in the chorus. The use of backing vocals in the chorus and a spoken word bridge add interesting elements to this one.

5. No Pressure

No Pressure has originally been released in early October 2023. The song is driven by the agile and stomping drums. Overall, the song feels very energetic and even has a certain aggressive touch. Thus, it is definitely a nice choice for punk fans (if they don’t know the song already, at least…).

6. Vacate

In January 2025, Vacate was used to promote the release of To All The Ones That I Love. It has been a double release together with the eighth song of the album, Tightrobe. It is a nice leverage between the rocking, rampant style of punk music with nice, almost pop-ish melodies. Press Club thereby profits from the wide range of sounds which work out well with their their lead vocalist.

7. To All The Ones That I Love

The title track takes the seventh position of the 2025 album. I especially like the very striking chorus of To All The Ones That I Love. Generally, the different melodic and musical elements in this song turn it to one of the best listens of the album.

8. Tightrope

The riffs are harder, the sound is darker – the Australians rock again. On the other hand, there is the light Na na na na in the background of the chorus, which leads to a nice to digest listen. Foster does another really good job on the microphone as well.

9. Staring At The Ceiling

Two previously unreleased close To All The Ones That I Love. The first one is Staring At The Ceiling. It is a nice rocker with a certain level of roughness. Again, Press Club manage to please the punk and rock lovers without missing to create nice melodies. A fun song.

10. Desolation

Desolation is closing the album. The song is having a nice flow, the guitars and the other instruments create a lovely melodic bedding for the band’s singer. I like the style of the chucker-out, but I feel it does not have an as crisp character as some of the songs before.

Press Club – To All The Ones That I Love – My View

Press Club released another really interesting album. I like the wide range of sounds, even though most tracks are clearly on the rock and punk rock side. The band is doing very good in giving the right support for their lead singer. Here and there, To All The Ones That I Love does have some weaker spots, but overall, it is a really good listen.

Favorite Song: Staring At The Ceiling
