Tom Ellis Channels Classic Rock Nostalgia on Catchy New Single ‘Those Days’
Melbourne-based singer-songwriter Tom Ellis recently revealed his vibrant new single ‘Those Days’, a nostalgic indie-rock gem that merges vintage charm with modern flair. The track marks the first taste of Ellis’ upcoming EP, set for release in Winter 2025.
Originally from Perth, Ellis draws heavy influence from the golden era of classic rock while weaving in his own storytelling and contemporary sensibilities. With jangly guitars, sun-soaked harmonies, and a driving rhythm section, ‘Those Days’ feels both familiar and fresh, capturing the bittersweet ache of looking back on youth and simpler times.

There’s an effortless catchiness to the track, a melodic pull that lingers well after the final chorus, showcasing Ellis’ keen ear for hooks and layered arrangements. It’s no surprise, given his mentorship under Phil Calvert (The Birthday Party), whose production insight has clearly sharpened Ellis’ attention to detail.
Equal parts indie earworm and retro rock homage, ‘Those Days’ proves Ellis is more than a nostalgic revivalist. He’s crafting timeless songs for a new generation, and this single is an impressive step forward in his evolving artistry.
