NEWCASTLE’S FIST LAUNCH DEBUT EP + MUSIC VIDEO
After dropping our debut EP Enter The FIST and causing a bit of a racket online and onstage, Newcastle’s dumbest band is back with a new hardcore-inspired ripper.
After a huge start to the year in camp FIST, working with Brad Telfer Audio (Lemon Joe, Through It All, Linear), and The Grove Studios (FIDLAR, DZ Deathrays, Birds of Tokyo), we’ve jumped back into The DIY Recording Studio with our old TAFE teacher Mitch Rose to get cracking on a monster album to drop through 2025. The first single Hurricane hits May 16 — and it’s coming in swinging.​​
