Initially we booked in to record a demo, but we enjoyed the experience of recording with each other so much that we went back to recording a full 6 track EP.
This was an exciting time for the band as we were establishing ourselves as a band, both in the live and studio setting.
2025 was a year
We played 21 shows in 3 states
We released 2 singles and a very short album!!
We got involved with @eviltonerecordsaus and that very short album is on vinyl 👌
We made it back to @corestudios.com.au and did some recording. 🎸🥁
Just a big fat THANK YOU to every one that has helped our band out in any way shape or form this year. WE APPRECIATE YOU 🔥🤘🔥
Thanks to every one that’s been to a show and even better if ya bought merch. Even better again if ya helped us sell it!!! 🔥
Thanks to everybody that shouted us alcohol, drugs or food. We wouldn’t survive without you. You rule!!!!!🤘
Huge thanks to our homies that have let us in ya homes to crash. Accom is too expensive for broke punk bands, we couldn’t tour and travel without you!!!
Big BIG LOVE 💛
We love packing into the car and hitting the road to play shows and visit mates. It’s not always comfy or cheap but we love it and we love you!!!! Thanks again.
See ya in 2026
We are currently busy working our butts off and getting ready to do our first shows overseas in a month!!
See you soon Japan friends!!! 🇯🇵❄️🤘
