Dine Alone Records are excited to announce they have signed Australia’s favorite fuzz punk trio Dune Rats. To celebrate the signing and Dunies’ upcoming tour with FIDLAR (all tour dates below), Dine Alone will release the Dune Rats s/t LP with 3 bonus tracks onSeptember 4, 2015 in North America for the first time. BrooklynVegan called it “a batch of weed-fueled pop punk that should be comfort food for King of the Beach-era Wavves fans.”.
At a time when true rock tales are as rare as chicken lips, Dune Rats are traveling the globe as punk rock pied pipers, attracting an army of ferocious life enthusiasts who are as willing as they are to throw the dice, turn reality sideways and roll with whatever goes. Ratbags, nerds, delinquents, outcasts, the brave, the loud, the shy – Dune Rats don’t care who or what you are, only that you abide by just one rule – no kooks, no gutties.
Palming Dunies off however as your average trio of wasted lunatics, would be a sad and narrow-minded mistake. The band has been praised by publications of note across the globe including Rolling Stone, NME and High Times. These three take as much pleasure in overt politeness and the odd spot of gardening as they do in the eyes-wide open adventure of tilting reality. But at the core of it all – the platform for everything that follows – is their uncalculated lust for making music. It’s taken them from Brisbane to the US, Europe, South Africa (ask them how the hell they found themselves here!), China, Indo, Malaysia, Canada, Singapore, even a small seaside shanty South of Sydney.
