Fresh off their massive 30+ date second European tour, Wollongong garage punks HOON return to Australia with a run of dates across the East Coast in August.

They’re bringing back the raw, off-kilter energy of their live show—equal parts chaotic and charming—with the release of their second vinyl record, ‘Speed and Fatigue’ in tow.

The album sharpens their sound, weaving together fast, jagged punk with post-punk textures and flashes of Brit-rock, while leaning further into the larrikin spirit of their uniquely Australian take on punk rock.

Speed and Fatigue is out now on vinyl through Idiotape Records.

Presented by Speed Drive Inc and Beats Cartel.  Sponsored by Philter Brewing.
