Australian Band Screamfeeder Announce Supports For Aotearoa NZ 2025 Tour
Screamfeeder. A noisy pop/indie rock band from Australia. Lovers of loud and beautiful music since they were each conceived, they have been compared to all the greats; Husker Du, The Jam, The Replacements and The Who.
Contradictions and dualities abound within Screamfeeder, and therein lies their beauty. They’re the band whose songs are imprinted into the DNA of every Australian music-lover who came of age in the 90’s and 00’s. A band of eternally-youthful fuzz-pop darlings who, however improbably, have continued to play together for 30 years, release eight studio albums, numerous live albums, EPs and compilations, and somehow have not only gotten better, but have become even more loved. A band that combines loud with beautiful, intense with joyous, chaotic with precise and pulls it all together in a way that very few acts ever manage.
Their latest album, entitled simply Five Rooms, and mixed by Beau Sorenson (Superchunk, Bob Mould) and Travis Harrison (Guided By Voices, Built To Spill), was released to unanimous acclaim in May 2022. It’s another Screamfeeder classic, mixing sharp pop hooks with slower wall-of-guitar anthems, an album unlike anything else at the moment and proof that great songwriters like Tim Steward and Kellie Lloyd never lose their touch.
“After five years of waiting, Brisbane
alt-rock icons Screamfeeder have returned with their
triumphant new album, Five Rooms… it’s Screamfeeder at
their very best.”
Rolling
Stone
Following their hugely sucessful
November 2024 tour with fellow legends Bluebottle
Kiss, and four sold-out December shows with the
Hoodoo Gurus, Screamfeeder return to
Aotearoa for the first time in maybe twenty years. See for
yourself what everyone is saying – this band is at the
peak of its live power.
Screamfeeder believe in writing good songs and performing them like their lives depend on it. Old school? Shit yeah, and proud of it.
“Five Rooms is a thunderous and evocative
album: filled with a certain melodic sweetness that is
underpinned by a raw, organic instrumentation with shades of
light and darkness, subtle at times, fuzzy and muscular at
other times. This is a band at their very best, showing
creativity has no use by date.”
