Following their latest record, Hurry Up And Wait, which became the first Australian album to reach #1 this decade, Dune Rats return with their new song ‘Too Tough Terry’. Listen HERE, and look out for the YouTube video premiere today at 5:30 PM AEDT HERE.

The band worked extensively alongside 23-year-old Reid McManus, who animated the video as a student at the University of Newcastle as part of his honours program. With a brash, colourful animation style that pays homage to old school 90’s MTV cartoons, Reid’s animation is the connective tissue between Dune Rats’ boisterous, beer-stained, shout-along brand of punk and the new visual identity that they’ve created for their music.

The video itself introduces the character of ‘Terry‘, a kind of mascot for the trio, a rough but lovable larrikin of a truck driver who leads a fast and indestructible lifestyle, who smokes too many cigarettes, has too many “shit tattoos” and doesn’t care for city-dwellers’ sense of self-importance, whose big talking game disguises the fact that he would never hurt a fly.

Too Tough Terry‘ is out now buy/stream it here.
