With Confidence have cited influences from bands The Dangerous Summer, Kings Of Leon, Blink-182, The Wonder Years, The Strokes, The Dead Love and La Dispute on their Facebook. Along with Blink-182, All Time Low, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and The Dangerous Summer mentioned in their interview with Beers with the Band on YouTube. Their sophomore EP 'Distance' was released on January 13, 2015. It was recorded at Electric Sun Studios with Stevie Knight and Dave Petrovic (Tonight Alive, Hands Like Houses, Northlane) at the helm.
On January 4, 2016, the band announced they had signed to American independent record label Hopeless Records. They coincided this news with new single and music video "We'll Be Okay". Following this the band announced an Australian headline tour set to take place in April, with support from Harbours. On April 5 they released their new single "Keeper" along with the announcement that their debut album "Better Weather" was going to be released on June 17 worldwide. Following their Australian headline tour, the band travelled to Japan to tour with The Wonder Years, ROAM & The Cautioners. Directly after the Japanese tour, With Confidence travelled to the UK to support As It Is alongside American band Jule Vera. After the UK tour the band voyaged across to the US to appear on the entirety of the Vans Warped Tour.
Upon returning to Australia the band were on the road almost immediately again, supporting Motion City Soundtrack & 5 Seconds of Summer before heading out on their own album tour in October to celebrate the album that charted at #22 on the ARIA Charts.
In November 2017 Luke Rockets was removed from the band due to sexual misconduct with an underage fan.
In September 2022 the band announced on social media that they were to break up after their current tour at the time and a small run of shows in Australia. They played their final show on November 27 in Brisbane Australia.

With Confidence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like I'm breaking through these feelings
Stepping on the dreams in my head
And I'm feeling kinda angry,
But my attitude will vary,
All the things you think I might of said
Lock the door leave me alone,
Run into the ocean instead
And I think I'll try and give you up
Running pretty low on luck
Covered in the sheets of my bed
Covered in the sheets of my bed.
So I'm running through the ocean
Flailing in its motion,
All the love I had for you is dead.
There's a fire for your fury
And a gavel for your jury
And a place that you can claim in my stead
So I'm running through this town in black
Leather jeans and stupid hats,
To be or not to be's what he said
And I think i'll try and give you up
Running pretty low on luck
Covered in the sheets of my bed,
Covered in the sheets of my bed.
And I'll do the best that I can
To fuck up all your plans
You're as blind as the eyes that you steal
I hope your wounds will never heal
And I hate every breathe that you take
Cos I feel and I kneel and I break
And I know, Oh I know what it cost
Cos now I am always lost.
And your eyes will clash with your skin
And your gaze will hold me in
And I know your mind is set
So I'll take what I can get
So I'll take what I can get.
The lyrics to With Confidence's song "Godzilla" present a complicated and emotional situation. The song starts with the singer knocking down buildings and stepping on dreams, suggesting that they are actively destroying everything around them. They are feeling angry, yet their attitude is unstable, giving the sense that they are struggling to control their emotions. They don't want to come home and instead run into the ocean, which could symbolize a desire to be freed from their troubles, or perhaps a sense of despair.
As the song continues, the singer talks about running through the ocean and feeling like their love for someone is dead. They reference a fire for their fury, and a gavel for their jury, which could suggest that they are dealing with some kind of legal trouble or feeling judged in some way. The line "To be or not to be's what he said" is a reference to Hamlet's famous soliloquy, suggesting that the singer is grappling with existential questions.
The song's chorus repeats the line "Covered in the sheets of my bed," which could symbolize a feeling of being trapped or overwhelmed. The final verse is particularly intense, with the singer saying they will do their best to mess up their opponent's plans and expressing a deep level of hatred towards them. They then express a feeling of being lost and helpless, yet still clinging to hope by saying they will take what they can get.
Overall, the lyrics to "Godzilla" present a complex emotional landscape and leave interpretation open to the listener.
Line by Line Meaning
Oh I'm knocking down these buildings,
I'm tearing down things in my life like buildings, just as I'm trying to work through negative emotions
Like I'm breaking through these feelings
I'm trying to overcome my emotions and move forward
Stepping on the dreams in my head
I'm disregarding my own aspirations
And I'm feeling kinda angry,
I'm experiencing some anger
But my attitude will vary,
My mood might change unexpectedly
All the things you think I might of said
I may not have even said the things you think I did
When you think I'm coming home,
When you expect me to come back to you
Lock the door leave me alone,
Don't expect me to come back or let me in
Run into the ocean instead
I'll escape into the vastness of the ocean instead of facing my problems
And I think I'll try and give you up
I'm considering leaving you
Running pretty low on luck
I'm not in a good situation
Covered in the sheets of my bed
I'm hiding away from the world in the comfort of my bed
So I'm running through the ocean
I'm metaphorically running away from my problems
Flailing in its motion,
I'm struggling to overcome my difficulties
All the love I had for you is dead.
I no longer have any love left for you
There's a fire for your fury
You're angry and passionate
And a gavel for your jury
You're making harsh judgements against me
And a place that you can claim in my stead
You'll be able to take my place in my old life
So I'm running through this town in black
I'm trying to escape my old life in a bold, dramatic way
Leather jeans and stupid hats,
I'm dressing in unconventional clothing to stand out
To be or not to be's what he said
I'm facing the same dilemma as Hamlet
And I'll do the best that I can
I'll try my hardest
To fuck up all your plans
I'll try to ruin your life in revenge
You're as blind as the eyes that you steal
You're taking things you don't deserve and are oblivious to your own wrongdoing
I hope your wounds will never heal
I want you to suffer the consequences of your actions forever
And I hate every breathe that you take
I despise everything about you
Cos I feel and I kneel and I break
I'm overwhelmed by my emotions and feel defeated
And I know, Oh I know what it cost
I understand the full extent of the damage caused by my emotions and actions
Cos now I am always lost.
I'm unsure of where to go from here
And your eyes will clash with your skin
Your exterior will conflict with your true self
And your gaze will hold me in
You'll make me feel trapped with your intense stare
And I know your mind is set
I know that you're stubborn and inflexible
So I'll take what I can get
I'll settle for whatever little I can get from our relationship
