Melbourne’s punk-rock quartet Drastic Park return with Patience Wearing Thin, a powerful new single that blends emotional candor with anthemic energy. Originally sparked during the lockdown era, the song has grown into a full-blown emo-punk anthem that captures frustration, burnout, and the struggle of pushing forward when it feels like you’re running in place.
Musically, the track delivers everything fans have come to love about Drastic Park—tight guitar work, soaring choruses, and a melodic punch that hits with both urgency and heart. The accompanying video adds another layer, pairing the track’s emotional weight with tongue-in-cheek visuals from Melbourne comedian Patrick Durnan Silva (Hot Department), creating a balance of humor and heaviness that feels uniquely theirs.
With Patience Wearing Thin, Drastic Park show they’re more than just a lockdown-era discovery. They’re evolving into one of Australia’s most promising punk voices—melodic, powerful, and unafraid to tackle real struggles head-on.
