Ranked: Pop Punk Releases by Sydney's Reverse Revolution, with the Two-Minute Crashing Out on Top
Sydney Punk Trio Aged 12 to 14 Opens Its Second EP with a Two-Minute Song
Crashing Out by Reverse Revolution sits first in the band’s Spotify popular list on 30 October 2026, three weeks after its release. The list follows recent listening, so the new single now leads I Remember, the band’s most-played track at 3,051 plays. It is also the opening track of the Sydney trio’s second EP, Please Don’t Touch the Glass, which reached two of its five songs on 30 October with Make it Worse.
Reverse Revolution’s Crashing Out is in the playlist below, the newest entry among this desk’s rock and indie picks, and the band’s coverage sits on the Reverse Revolution artist profile. It reached BestMusic.News through PopHits.Co Music Charts, which verifies independent artists and places their releases across its network of music news titles. Press play, then read on for the audience the trio is building.
Crashing Out Gives Pop Punk Listeners a Two-Minute Song From Reverse Revolution, Three Sydney Kids
The song is built for a particular listener. Anyone raised on pop punk, alternative rock and the melodic end of punk will know the shape at once: a short, upbeat track about one of those days when nothing goes right. At 2:17, it is the shortest song the band has released.
Three young musicians and one producer made it. Axel Teoh and Deon Aldridge-Chow wrote the lyric and share the vocals, with Teoh on bass and Aldridge-Chow on drums. Owen McEvoy co-wrote the music and plays electric guitar. Kyle Charles Hall produced it, continuing a partnership that began on the band’s debut EP.
That makes the audience wider than it first looks. Younger listeners get a song written by people their own age. Older pop punk fans, meanwhile, get the genre’s oldest offer: a fast, defiant song that says exactly how the bad day felt.
Bonjour Aliens Drew Its First Reviews a Year Before Crashing Out
The early response started with the debut. Bonjour Aliens arrived in September 2025 with four songs: Sweet Honey Smoke, My Place, I Remember and Fade. AAA Backstage reported that the trio had busked around their neighbourhoods to pay for the recording sessions.
Return of Rock heard songs about young love, short-lived friendships and the absurd parts of growing up, Fortnite and Mario Kart included. Lost in the Manor also named the band in its rock picks that month. Since then, Cherry Blossom Kiss has added a May 2026 single, and Sweet Honey Smoke has passed 1,800 plays.
The Community Around Reverse Revolution Runs From Busking Spots to Newtown and Marrickville Halls
The community is local and hands-on. The band plays community events, regional festivals and live venues across Sydney and New South Wales. Its next two dates are neighbourhood rooms: the Newtown Neighbourhood Centre on 31 October and Addi Road’s Gumbramorra Hall in Marrickville on 8 November.
Reverse Revolution also gave Crashing Out its own invitation. A page on the band’s website asks fans what makes them crash out and invites a selfie to go with the answer. As a result, the song’s pet peeves become a conversation with the people listening.
Online, the circle is wider. On TikTok, where the band calls itself three noisy kids, its videos have collected more than 357,000 likes. The trio’s own description elsewhere is shorter still: just three kids rocking out and writing songs. They also play punk covers alongside their originals.
From the BestMusic.News curator team: “We added Crashing Out to our Rock, Alternative Rock, Indie playlist straight after two IDLES tracks, Gift Horse and Dancer. A Sydney trio of young players holds its own in that company. It is also the record we would play to anyone who thinks punk energy needs years on the circuit first.”
Green Day and The Linda Lindas Show Where Crashing Out Could Lead Reverse Revolution
Two bands help place Crashing Out for listeners new to the trio.
Green Day began as Sweet Children. Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt formed the band in Rodeo, California, in 1987 and came up through the Bay Area punk scene around 924 Gilman Street. Then Dookie broke through in 1994. A power trio playing neighbourhood rooms in Sydney is on the first step of a similar road.
The Linda Lindas are the closer parallel. The Los Angeles band formed in 2018, went viral with Racist, Sexist Boy in 2021 and signed to Epitaph Records shortly afterwards. Their 2022 debut album was called Growing Up, the same subject Reverse Revolution keep returning to.
Start with Crashing Out, then play Make it Worse, the second track of Please Don’t Touch the Glass, and go back to Bonjour Aliens to hear where the band began.
