One of Australia’s pioneering Indigenous rock bands, Blackfire, make a powerful and timely return with their new single ‘Let’s Not Forget‘, available now via Golden Robot Records. The song serves as a moving tribute in the lead-up to ANZAC Day, honouring the often-overlooked sacrifices of Indigenous soldiers who served their country with courage and pride – but little recognition.

Crafted by Blackfire’s keyboardist Rod Crundwell and long-time songwriting partner Stafford Sanders, ‘Let’s Not Forget‘ is a heartfelt call to remembrance, driven by a catchy, upbeat tempo and stirring lyrics that speak directly to our shared history. The track is the first single from Blackfire’s highly anticipated fourth studio album, Solar Eclipse, set for release later this year.
“Step out for our fallen heroes — we will march along.
Come on all you brothers and sisters, join the mighty song —
Let’s not forget.”
Formed in Melbourne in 1992, Blackfire toured nationally and internationally for over a decade, becoming a powerful voice in both music and Indigenous cultural expression. After a break starting in 1999, the band began reuniting for select shows from 2018 onward. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, original members Selwyn Burns, Grant Hansen, and Brad Brown rekindled the fire – and with it came a revitalized lineup.
Joining the original trio are Radical Son (David Leha) on lead vocals, Peter Moore on drums, Rod Crundwell on keys, and additional members Monica McDonald and Leonie Whyman on backing vocals and percussion. Daniel Jauregui adds power on second lead guitar, giving the group an even fuller, more dynamic sound.
‘Let’s Not Forget’ delivers everything that defines Blackfire – powerful harmonies, compelling storytelling, and a deep cultural resonance. The track sets the tone for Solar Eclipse, a 12-track album that reflects the band’s evolution while remaining rooted in the truth-telling spirit that has always been their hallmark. With this release Blackfire are proving once again why they remain one of Australia’s most important and enduring rock voices.
‘Let’s Not Forget’ is available now on all major streaming platforms via Golden Robot Records
