Ballarat lads Gangz have served up another perfect surf-rock tune with the release of “Evils†today.
Speaking about their new single, the band says, “Evils is about embracing all the bad things that have happened in the past and owning them, at the time it feels like you might not be able to get through whatever it is, but now realising that it's those things that make you who you are today.â€
It’s been an exciting 12 months for Gangz after they scored the coveted spot as triple j’s Unearthed feature artist of the week, whilst picking up new audiences through their infectious live shows - including an electrifying set at Spilt Milk, supporting Kingswood and a massive NYE show at The Espy in St Kilda.
Made up of Josh Haire on vocals and guitar, Tim Currie on guitar, Edan Strachan on drums and Colby Cross on bass, Gangz are heavily inspired by anything with swoony vocals and a raw nostalgic feel such as The Strokes, Hockey Dad, A. Swayze & the Ghosts, and Beach House.
Like all musicians in 2020, their touring plans were put on hold due to Covid19, however they’ve been using this down time to write and record new songs as a follow up to their 2019 debut EP ‘Mid -20’s’. The band are currently donating 100% of their merch sales to the National Justice Project - a non-profit organisation that takes up the fight against institutional discrimination in Australia.
