Sam Osbourne Bryant releases new Single “Cry”
Back story
New Zealand-born, Gold Coast-based, Sam Osbourne Bryant is a 21-year-old multi-instrumentalist bringing a raw, emotional edge to the world of alternative rock. With a sound that channels the spirit of Oasis, Nirvana, and Stone Temple Pilots, Sam’s music blends grunge, Britpop, and hard rock into something both nostalgic and urgently current.
His new single “Cry” captures the restless, heavy-hearted frustration of young adulthood—feeling stuck, running in circles, and wrestling with the fear that nothing might ever change. With gritty guitars and laid-back vocals, “Cry” simmers with internal tension.
Lines like “I can’t shake this feeling of being wasted” and “They told me that it would be alright / All you need is just a little patience / I don’t got no time to wait” cut deep into a sense of disillusionment that defines a generation.
Sam’s journey into music began the moment he saw the video for “Welcome to the Jungle” by Guns N’ Roses at age 12. What started with a guitar quickly grew into self-taught vocals, drums, and bass. Now, he’s crafting songs that ask a crucial question: Why should the world forget how to rock?
