about
Melbourne’s genre-warping Tropical Fuck Storm sign to independent powerhouse Fire Records, marking the occasion with their latest track, ‘Goon Show’—a surreal, sharp-edged slice of their signature chaos.
In brief, they say: “Here’s a neat little jingle to usher in the dumb phone revolution of 2025. It’s time to downgrade and spend an afternoon or two outdoors away from our glasshouses. Meatspace is a magical land where we can all picnic and discover the things we have in common, away from Silicon Valley’s Angertainment Industrial Complex.”
The four-piece began life when vocalist Gareth Liddiard and Fiona Kitschin took five from The Drones back in 2016. Joined by Erica Dunn and Lauren Hammel, they’ve released a string of critically-acclaimed albums and gained a reputation for their incendiary live shows.
Tropical Fuck Storm have a new album on the horizon, and are gearing up for a world tour over the next year, including stops at End Of The Road Festival, Manchester Psych Fest, and an extensive run across the U.S.
New single ‘Goon Show’ channels Liddiard’s husky baritone, in a track that feels like a nightclub singer crash-landing into a dystopian post-grunge fever dream. Like a warped video game soundtrack, it sets the scene before guitars self-immolate, bodies hit the floor, and the song spirals into glorious, unhinged mayhem.
Acidic, acerbic, angsty, anarchic; their command of wordplay, undercut by snarling guitars, pulsing rhythms and explosive salvos is somewhere between Pere Ubu and a distorted broadcast from the edge of reality. They emanate in the hinterland between light and dark, the vocal interplay between Liddiard and the soaring harmonies of Fiona and Erica create a teetering balancing act that’s intensified by their frantic narratives and gloriously unrestrained delivery.
