Their debut album in 2020 showcased a socially aware blend of Alt/Hard rock infused with influences from Goth & Metal, leading to widespread recognition with heavy rotation on independent radio and glowing reviews from critics. Earning accolades for their dynamic live performances, including impressive support slots for Reckless Love & Crosson in Sydney, Accidental President has garnered praise from fans and critics alike.
Throughout the Covid pandemic, the band harnessed their creativity, exploring diverse cover songs on TikTok and YouTube, which ultimately served as the catalyst for their upcoming album, ‘Was It Meant To Be This Way?’. This new opus aims to establish an authentic connection with rock enthusiasts worldwide, resonating through its powerful musicality, striking aesthetics, and thought-provoking socially conscious lyrics. Their early promotional single ‘After the Sun’ soared to Number 2 on Australia’s AMRAP Metro Charts and maintained its position in the Top 10 for three consecutive weeks.

At the heart of “Was It Meant To Be This Way?” lies a profound theme that ponders the course of the last two centuries. The exponential growth in knowledge, technology, and wealth has undoubtedly led to progress in health, living standards, and the collective understanding of our responsibility to respect the world we inhabit and our fellow human beings. Yet, paradoxically, this period has also witnessed a surge in death, destruction, oppression, and persecution as the relentless pursuit of profit continues to dominate.

It stands as an anthem of resilience, channeling pain into a healthy, transformative force. Having been blinded by lies, the protagonist of “Bittersweet” bravely confronts the uncomfortable truth.
