Brisbane trio Dune Rats have shared their latest video for “Bad Habits,” a cut pulled from their #1 January LP Hurry Up And Wait. The video takes the viewer across the band’s Australian headlining tour last month which saw them play their biggest rooms yet in Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne with bands Ruby Fields, Dear Seattle and TOTTY on support. The video premiered last night on YouTube and is available to watch HERE.
Of the video Dune Rats frontman Danny Beus says, “We always pictured ‘Bad Habits’ would be a live clip, even when recording it we’d joke about how big the chorus feels and fun it would be to play it live. So we all feel really lucky we were able to go out on tour a few weeks back and film it while having an awesome time playing to epic crowds.”
On Hurry Up And Wait, the band worked with best mate and producer James Tidwell (Violent Soho) along with engineer Mitch Kenny, producer/songwriter Miro Mackie, and mixer Mike Green to create their cleanest and most mature release to date – honing in on their beloved brand of raucous, anthemic 90s skate punk. Out now via Rise Records, the album features such tracks as “Stupid Is As Stupid Does (feat. K.Flay),” “Crazy” and “No Plans” and went #1 on the ARIA charts, #1 on the AIR Independent Chart, #1 Australian Album Chart, #1 ARIA Vinyl Chart as well as the coveted triple j Feature Album week of release.
It’s their first LP since the breakthrough success of their 2017 record, The Kids Will Know It’s Bullshit, which also debuted at #1 on the ARIA charts, was nominated for ‘Best Rock Album’ at the ARIAs and saw the trio taking their explosive live show to larger and larger crowds at sold-out headline shows around the world and at home with headline slots at Splendour in the Grass, Falls Festival, Laneway Festival and more.
The Dunies were forced to reschedule all three legs of their North American tour due to COVID-19, but are looking forward to announcing rescheduled dates for their American and Canadian fans soon. In the meantime, get your live Dune Rats fix with “Bad Habits” – watch now!
