The Zac Cross Band is back in our ears with their punchy new single Matter of Time.

Inspired by a real-life whirlwind romance, Matter of Time meditates on the magic of fate.

“The concept came about when me and my fiancé, Ashleigh, were travelling through New Zealand in 2019,” recalls Zac. “It was one of those take-it-in moments where you have to pinch yourself at how lucky you are to be sharing such an experience with this person.”

Dotted with the four-piece’s hallmark sounds – stadium-like drum grooves, crispy guitars and Zac’s gritty vocals – the headbanging track radiates good vibes.

“The main message to take away from this song is to trust in fate, as hard as that may be. There are a thousand things that will get in your way, and a thousand hurdles that you will have to navigate, but at the end of the day, if it’s meant to be, it will be.”

When crafting the energetic single, the boys relied upon award-winning producer, Jared Adlam (Travis Collins, Adam Brand, Matt Cornell). True to the song’s message, the band quickly found that recording the track was meant to be.

“It was one of those songs that just came together so damn easy. Everything just fit, lined up and was honestly just so fun to make. I think halfway through the process we all looked at each other and were like ‘damn, this is it’.

“It’s easily some of the best work we’ve done and one of the truest sounding tracks that represent our style of music.”

Currently touring Queensland, the boys have adapted well to life on the road. They’ve supported giants like Dragon and The Wolfe Brothers, with performances alongside Jon Stevens and Lee Kernaghan slated for later this year.

Not to mention they’ve been tearing up the festival circuit: appearing at Country Fest Queensland, Country On Keppel and Big Beer Festival, to name a few. With plenty more to come including the Gympie Music Muster, Baralaba Bash, Goombungee Country and Wild As Country Party - the boys are at the top of their game.

“We are super excited to be playing a whole bunch of new festivals as well as venues in the back half of the year. It’s always good to play new places and we’re very much looking forward to sharing our music with a new audience. You can definitely bank on an energetic and action-packed show.”
