Australian musician Mark Cassius, known as Neo Stereo, just dropped his second release of the year—“Get Up Stand Up”. The new song is a high-energy anthem that explodes into a big anthemic feel at the first chorus.
The track is about shaking off doubt, pushing through hard times, and grabbing life by the horns. Cassius sings with power and emotion, mixing moments of vulnerability with a fearless call to action. Lyrics like “So don’t give in, to all the people’s problems / Let’s not wait, now meet your fate / Get up, stand up, I’ll let you know / Get up, stand up, welcome to the show” provide the track with both grit and heart encouraging listeners to keep fighting the fight. In his words, “This song is a call to presence and freedom, and a reminder to seize the moment.”
Over his 25+ years in music, Cassius has built a unique style that blends indie rock roots with cinematic electro sounds. His debut album Nightbird (2023) introduced that blend, and singles like “Ballerina Girl” and “Change Your Mind” showed just how far he could take it. With “Get Up Stand Up”, he ties it all together—catchy hooks, emotional lyrics, in a high energy musical vehicle.
The track was produced with Jackson Barclay at The Grove Studios and fine-tuned in his own home studio setup. “Get Up Stand Up” is a reminder to stay present, fight for your freedom, and keep moving forward, even when life feels heavy.
