Wollongong duo Chimers is hitting the road in Australia, in support of their new album “Through Today”, which is out on November 8 on Poison City Records in Australia and 12XU in North America.
It’s the second album for husband-and-wife Padraic and Binx following their self-titled debut in 2021 and they’ll play their own shows in four states and as special guests to Party Dozen (Sydney in October) and The Saints ’73-’78 (in November).
The new record is said to be laced with traces of late-‘80s post-hardcore and alterna-sounds (Fugazi, Sonic Youth, Hüsker Dü) delivered in Chimers' direct and no-unnecessary-fills approach.
Recorded and mixed by Jonathan Boulet (Party Dozen, Body Type, Loose Fit) “Through Today” is said to be a significant leap forward. Special guests include Kirsty Tickle from Party Dozen and Jordan Ireland from ARIA-award nominated and AMP winners, The Middle East.
