Do you feel the need, the need for speed?
Sliding off the sweaty back of a long, hot Gold Coast summer, local riff-slingers HAMMERS are set to start dropping song bombs all across the land, kicking off today with their brand new single Top Fun, out now via Summerland Records.
Taken from the band’s debut full-length LP mud-mapped for a late 2024 release, Top Fun serves up a punch that leaves you wanting more, with all the trademark HAMMERS rowdy feel-good vibes welded with sharp execution. Top Fun also marks the quartet’s first new music since releasing their 2020 EP Kicking Goals.
A wild rock’n’roll ride mixed with high-octane grooves, filthy riffs, and more hooks than Rex Hunt‘s tackle box, Top Fun was ultimately inspired by the seminal volleyball scene from the 1986 Tom Cruise classic Top Gun, with the lyrics also centred around classic Aussie summer vibes.
“The video itself was thematically inspired by the volleyball scene from the OG 1986 Top Gun flick – which is a story in itself – but lyrically, we did our best to sh!t-stain it with all the typical Aussie Summer nostalgia and imagery that we love most about our twisted culture,” shares vocalist and guitarist Lucas Stone.
