Malakye Grind – Every Day Is Perfect (2024)

‘Every Day Is Perfect’ by Malakye Grind stands as a defiant anthem that blends social commentary and raw energy. The track, featured alongside their sophomore album Dystopian Dream, showcases the Australian band’s evolution since their debut release in 2021.

The song’s strength lies in its instrumental dynamic between the drums and bass, creating a power struggle between the two. Both want to lead but end up complementing each other smoothly. The single achieves a perfect balance between raw energy and polished sophistication.

The lyrics tackle modern pressures with both irony and empowerment. The chorus – “Every day is perfect, ’cause I said it is” – works as both criticism of social media’s perfectionism and a statement of personal resilience. The message focuses on reclaiming personal control while acknowledging life’s struggles, captured in lyrics like “Even if I’m sliding down the wall.” This duality is reflected in the vocal delivery, which alternates between raw vulnerability and fierce conviction, adding authenticity to the message.

The bridge adds a riffing element to the song that naturally fits into the song’s structure and effectively builds tension throughout. It’s a solid addition to their catalogue that demonstrates why they’re gaining traction in the international rock scene.

Following their success with placement in the soundtrack for Thor: Love and Thunder, Malakye Grind demonstrates continued growth with this release. Since their debut ‘What Goes Around’, the Australian band has expanded their reach through sports broadcast features and streaming success, with their monthly Spotify listeners reaching 14,000 and still climbing. The new track builds on their established sound while pushing into new territory, suggesting a band confident in their artistic vision. For fans of classic hard rock and modern alternative, ‘Every Day Is Perfect’ offers a compelling addition to the genre, balancing social commentary with pure rock energy.
