You know that feeling when you’re drowning in notifications, doom-scrolling till your eyes bleed, and you just wanna smash your phone against the wall and scream “START OVER”? Yeah. “Reset the Internet“ by Preloved Things gets it. And they turned that rage into a f*cking anthem.
These Brisbane badasses—yeah, the same lunatics who brought us Kitchen Sink Drama back in 2018—are back with a track from their first album How Life Strange Is. And let me tell you, this is raw. This is garage-born, attitude-dripping, classic rock goodness.
The band describes the song as a meditation on wanting to disconnect. A utopia of pulling the plug. But here’s the thing—they know it’s a fantasy. We want to log off, but we can’t. We’re trapped in the machine, and Preloved Things turns that tension into a six-string therapy session.
Who are these maniacs? Well, going by their reputation, these folks crawl out of the same rabbit hole where bar fights and philosophy lectures get struck by lightning and turn into sentient organisms on stage. That’s not my words—that’s the rumour. And I believe it. Because the way this track builds? The instrumental arrangements? The climax? Man, it hits like a train made of fuzz pedals and broken glass.
This is rock that fills you with power. Makes you sing along. Makes you feel something other than the hollow buzz of another like or follow.
So yeah. Play this one. Let it rip. And for three minutes, pretend you’ve actually hit the reset button on this whole strange human project. Preloved Things wrote a goddamn lifeline.
