Dharawal/Wollongong’s own garage-punk troublemakers HOON are hitting the road hard this winter, locking in an extensive run of Aussie tour dates off the back of their blistering new album, Speed and Fatigue.
Produced by Jeremy Player and The Shed Sound Laboratory (Pist Idiots, The Pinheads), Speed and Fatigue sharpens HOON’s chaotic edge into something meaner and more precise — all scuzzy riffs, post-punk brooding and bone-rattling catharsis. But don’t get it twisted — they’re still delivering their signature mix of larrikin energy and sharp political bite, too.
HOON – Speed and Fatigue
The LP takes aim at late-stage capitalism with sardonic humour and a heap of raw nerve. Think: housing stress, wage stagnation, and government hypocrisy — screamed direct from the pit.
“‘Speed and Fatigue captures tension and humour from the edge of burnout, debt, and disillusionment in so-called Australia,” HOON share in a press statement.
“We tore into the everyday absurdities of life under capitalism, from housing stress and wage stagnation to government contradictions, censorship and class privilege. This album is a vessel of personal and political frustration with a mix of sardonic humour, raw emotion and societal critique.”
After tearing through Europe across June and July, the band will return home for an eight-date Aussie tour, hitting stages across Eora/Sydney, Naarm/Melbourne, Meanjin/Brisbane, Cavanbah/Byron Bay, Yugambeh/Gold Coast, Kabi Kabi/Nambour, Corhanwarrabul/Tecoma, and their stomping ground Dharawal/Wollongong this August.
