Album review: Dune Rats – If It Sucks, Turn It Up
Aussie punk crew Dune Rats churn out bangers with wit and heart on stupidly fun fifth album, If It Sucks, Turn It Up…
Watch Dune Rats’ ridiculously fun new video for What A Memorable Night, taken from their upcoming album Real Rare Whale.
Aussie punks Dune Rats have announced details of their fourth album Real Rare Whale, and unveiled a killer new single, What A Memorable Night.
Due out on June 24, the band's fourth record follows 2020's ace Hurry Up And Wait, and is described by them as the "fastest, funnest and most insane album we've ever recorded".
"It’s an album that expresses the love of music and writing songs," Dune Rats continue. "Songs that will be epic to play live to thousands of sweaty bodies having a great time. We waited until now to release it as we know it won't be long until shows start back up and we can be where we are meant to be, on stage having fun.
"From the first track to the last, each song was written with the sole purpose of being the 'other songs' to what we were hearing on the radio. The songs to forget about what was going on at the time and reflecting on what made us start being a band in the first place. Teaming up with Scott Horscroft, who has long been a friend, was a dream come true. We respect him so much as a producer that we knew he was the person to bring depth to these tunes whilst keeping them in the Dunies ethos."
Of new banger What A Memorable Night, they add: "We wrote this song as a tribute to all of the memorable nights that we’ve had with our close mates. The ones that none of us can really remember, but the skewed stories, whether right or wrong, always outlive the memories."
