2 brothers crawled out of pile of broken music gear in late 2021, cranked their amps, fuzz & energy to attack mode and started playing a bunch of shows in and around Sydney in early 2022.
Since then they’ve gone on to tear up stages and blast ear drums all over the east coast with a bunch of Australia’s best garage/rock/punk bands, including the Hard-Ons, Neptune Power Federation, Hoss, ROCKS, Nunchukka Superfly, The Vee Bees, The Stripp, Six Ft Hick & The Johnnys to name a few. As well as landing the odd international support slot (Schizophonics – USA, Fadeaways – Japan, S.U.G.A.R – Germany and Cut Rate Druggist – USA) plus a handful of underground rock festival appearances (Hellnation, High Kicks, Oktuberfest and Outtaspace weekenders).
The Strike Outs debut single, 37 Moves, was released on 3/7/23. Which distilled their full-on garage rock assault perfectly over 3 tracks. A year on and their debut album hit the ground on 3/7/24 on Evil Tone records. The self titled album is 12 tracks of overblown garage riffs and energy that goes straight for the throat and doesn’t let up until the fuzz rings out on the final track.
They blasted through over 40 shows along the east coast in 2024 and are set to do the same in ’25 – cos nothings slowing down. So when 2 people can create such a massive wall of full-bore-destructo-rock like the Strike Outs can, more bands should trim the fat.
