Full of raw energy, loveable irreverence and dynamite tunes, all of which have now become synonymous with the unmistakable, sun-drenched pop of Hockey Dad. The childhood mates formed in their hometown of Windang in NSW, have taken their raucous shows and jangly fuzz-pop songs all around the globe. Hockey Dad are now informed with a worldly experience that only comes with the far-reaching travel of a seasoned touring band.

Today, the duo come bursting through the gates with new offering “I Missed Out”. Produced by John Goodsmanson (Blend Inn) “I Missed Out” is full of frenetic energy and possess a manic guitar line. This jam is bound to hurtle them into the international spotlight yet again.  

“I Missed Out” is the first sweet taste of the bands up and coming new material that finds them in a decidedly more reflective place. Taking snapshots of places and experiences from the last few years and filtering them through their particular process. Fleming states: “A big theme on this record and song is the passing of time and how we deal with it. This song gives a nod to the people who spent their time the wrong way and have only realised now.” 

Stephenson adds: “’Blend Inn’ dealt with problems in a less mature way through fighting and complaining. I think getting older, I have come to see these situations as learning experiences – using these songs to understand my surroundings and lessons I’ve been given.”

The legendary ratbag rockers will be taking the stage in Canada next month for the festive season to play with DZ Deathrays. They’ll be back in Australia in 2020 ready to bust out their brash jams live as part of Laneway Festival. For more information visit: https://lanewayfestival.com/
