Brisbane punk rock lifers Dune Rats return with two explosive singles, new track, SHARKS and a re-recorded version of FUCK IT! from their third EP Smile, a release that looks back to where it all began while charging forward with the same reckless conviction that has defined the band for over a decade. SHARKS leads the way, capturing the raw belief and stubborn optimism that has always sat at the heart of Dune Rats’ music and story, while the newly re-recorded FUCK IT! offers longtime fans a nostalgic trip through the band’s formative punk-garage sound.
At its core, SHARKS is a song about swimming against the current and trusting your gut even when everyone around you thinks you are crazy. It reflects the reality of choosing a creative path that makes no logical sense to anyone else, particularly when you are young, broke, and convinced that a band can be your future. That sense of defiance and belief is what has carried Dune Rats from sweaty Brisbane house shows to sold-out rooms around the world, and Sharks feels like a full-circle moment that reconnects the band with the mindset that started it all.
