Connoisseurs of underground garage punk and punk wave will be familiar with Melbourne’s BRAT FARRAR and they’re back in the saddle with a new release looming.
“Tower of Lies” is the digital single that hits all streaming services on November 7 as the precursor to the album “GROUP” released in February 2026 via Beast Records (France), Take The City Records (Spain) and Ghost Highway Records (Spain). Recorded by Idge at Soundpark, ‘GROUP” was mastered by the ubiquitous Mikey Young.
We've had a preview of "Tower of Lies" and it's a searing piece of steamroller punk rock. Pre-save it on Spotify here.
With five LPs and a slew of 45s under their belt, BRAT FARRAR is a fixture in their home town and have extensively hit the European touring circuit.
Always mutating, the current BRAT FARRAR line-up contains Sam Agostino (Digger and the Pussycats/Kamikaze Trio), Tim Wold (Brown Spirits/Kids of Zoo/Specimens), Andy Porter (Blowers/Cakefight) and Daniel Dempster (The Sailors/Tiger By The Tail).
The band’s sound recalls early Wipers, Husker Du, The Spits, ‘80s synth wave music and (sometimes) like power pop bands recorded incorrectly.
