‘Hedging Bets‘ see’s the band grow as songwriters while standing firm in their punk rock roots. Melding raw garage power and tuneful melodies it is a bittersweet celebration of the desire to pursue teenage dreams while balancing responsibilities that come with adulthood.
Shot mid tour in guitarist, Damien Day’s back yard the clip features a raft of friends and band mates including Sydney’s Nerdlinger and Japan’s Mexican Age and The Frankner.
