Dune Rats

Surf Trash

Brisbane punk lifers **Dune Rats** return to their roots with the **OLD MATES Tour** - a run of intimate underplay shows through the pubs and coastal rooms where it all began.  
   
The tour coincides with the release of **OLD MATES**, a new album collecting tracks from the band’s first three EPs alongside brand new single **SHARKS** and a re-recorded fan favourite **FUCK IT!**. It’s a full-circle release that captures the raw, reckless spirit that launched Dune Rats, while charging forward with the same no-rules energy they’re known for.  
   
**SHARKS** leads the charge - a defiant, high-energy anthem about backing yourself, swimming against the current, and trusting your gut even when it feels insane. Paired with the newly re-recorded **FUCK IT!**, the release reconnects with the band’s early punk-garage sound while reminding fans why Dune Rats’ live shows remain loud, chaotic and community-driven.  
   
Fresh off supporting **YUNGBLUD** on his Australian tour, the **OLD MATES** **Tour** strips things back - sweaty rooms, stacked singalongs, and maximum volume. Expect old favourites, new chaos, and the kind of nights that made **Dune Rats** what they are.
