West Australian punks Last Quokka return with Save Our Pubs, the latest single off of their upcoming album Take The Fight To The Bastards, out via Valve Records. Save Our Pubs is a call to arms for all Australian (and un-Australian) beer drinkers, pool players, footy fans and chicken parmi lovers to save our most cherished cultural institution: the pub.
The big corporates are buying our pubs and turning them into gentrified yuppie wastelands, devoid of taste, character and good pub feeds, and Last Quokka are bloody sick of it. An impassioned Trent Rojahn takes aim at the new soulless bars with their plastic pints, lack of sticky carpets and overpriced soggy chips. His rants are backed up by a tightly wound and intense band who explode in the anthemic chorus to “save our institutions!” A message that surely even someone as thick as Peter Dutton could understand!
Western Australian garage punks LAST QUOKKA combine acerbic, socially conscious lyrics, heavy rhythms and catchy guitar riffs to create poignant, dance-inducing punk music. One part piss-taking, one part gut-punching and one part booty-shaking – all served up on a bed of frenetic garage punk music. Fourth LP, Take The Fight To The Bastards, out MAR 14 2025 on Valve.

GUSSET RATS are a heavy riff punk band from Lismore.

MASOCHIST is a hardcore punk band an emphasis on playing diverse and safe shows, promoting inclusion and empowerment. Their songs are filled with feminist fury and unrestrained rage, with a constant reminder that we can all do better and have the potential to change and grow. https://masochistpunk.bandcamp.com/track/hoax
