Sage Roadknight Dissects Society in Eerie Indie-Disco Hymn 'Wake Up'

Building their unique sound further, Melbournite Sage Roadknight (she/they) paves their brilliant chrome path further with their newest song Wake Up (July 5th), with her signature Future Alt-Pop style.

At just 18, Sage has already established themself as a person to watch, with their unique sound and powerful lyrics praised by Triple J Unearthed, Folk Artist of the Year Award, and the Environmental Music Prize, and even featured in the Ignite Festival at the young age of 14.

Already working with huge names in the industry, 'Wake Up' was co-produced and mixed by Ricki Rae - producer of Taylor Sheridan's number one album in Australia and also known for working with Living End, Baby Animals and Tina Arena.

This retro-inspired single weaves in a synth-infused, decadent and hyper-emotional exploration of late stage capitalism and the class disparity. It doesn't shy away from emotion, bursting with rage and euphoria.

With its disco vibes, there's a hint of tragedy to the dance-ready beat. Sage describes this song as:‍

“A song that will get you dancing and singing your heart out about how the system has wronged you and the majority of the world. [It] voices our frustration about the enormous disparity between the working class and the ultra rich 1% of the population.”

Don't be afraid to get angry and get loud, or dance your heart out. Let emotion draw you away on July 5th when Sage Roadknight releases 'Wake Up'.

'Wake Up' was made possible with the help of the Australian Government, Regional Arts Australia and the Regional Arts fund.
