Dune Rats Vinyl Records
A party-hearty fusion of middle-finger punk attitude and unapologetic hard rock guitar raunch, Dune Rats are part of a long tradition of snotty, good-time, punk-adjacent bands from Australia. Playing fast and loud like their forebears, and celebrating good-natured bad behaviour of all sorts, on 2017's The Kids Will Know It's Bullshit, Dune Rats threw in a playful tunefulness that kept the songs punchy and engaging, as well as a broad sense of humour as effective as it is immature. It became a major hit in their homeland, and a listen to 2020's Hurry Up and Wait or 2022's Real Rare Whale confirmed that success wasn't about to change them.
