Adelaide's Normal Behaviour Serves Up New Single 'Famous'
Leaning into a musical energy that blends both rock and indie in good measure, Adelaide's NORMAL BEHAVIOUR has struck up a strong local following that has put them on the map as an act to watch in recent years. Raw honesty and an unfiltered approach to songwriting has already produced memorable music from the South Australians and as they step further into 2025, Normal Behaviour returns to take it up another level.
With new single 'Famous', the group bring the pulsating, emotional core of their rock songwriting together with an undeniably catchy arrangement that ensures the song remains with the listener, playback after playback.
'Famous' came together as part of a touchstone year for Normal Behaviour. Embarking on their first tour of North America in 2024 opened their eyes to the sheer level of opportunities that were open to them and as a result, redefined the vision they had in place for the project. During the tail end of the tour while spending some time in LA, the debut Normal Behaviour album was born.
Of their new single, Normal Behaviour explains, "We wrote this song fully aware of what it sounds like: a massive, catchy single. But underneath that, it's about that moment when you realise you've been chasing the wrong thing for years. It's about watching people around you 'make it' and wondering what any of it even means anymore. Ironically, the song is probably our most 'hit-worthy' release yet.
The production is crisp but raw, with live drums, the occasional sprinkle of production around the edges. The track is upbeat but never feels rushed. Lyrically, it's bold and pokes fun at itself: "I just wanna be / Alone among the leaves / The crowd is after me / I'm so desperate." Now all 27, the members of Normal Behaviour are approaching music with clearer eyes. 'Famous' isn't just a song, it's a mirror held up to the version of success we thought we needed, and a reminder of the joy we've already found in creating music together in bedrooms with our best mates."

Since their inception, Normal Behaviour have elevated on stages supporting the likes of The Smashing Pumpkins, You Am I, Amyl & The Sniffers and Atlas Genius – the latter seeing the group take on 22 shows across the US in 2024. Previous songs like 'Killing Time' and 'Hold Me' have earned support across Australian music media including triple j and Triple J Unearthed; the way the band has continued to spread their wings musically, without losing their original signature has struck a chord with more listeners around the country and now, abroad.
With their debut album now in the can, Normal Behaviour is excited to look forward to what is coming next.
"The whole process was pretty surreal. We have been trying so hard for so long and it really felt like one of those milestones where we could look at each other and really soak it in. These songs were born in rehearsal rooms and bedrooms in Blackwood, South Australia and then tracked and polished in Los Angeles, California, something we would only ever dream of doing."
