Postcard Xo 02:56
lyrics
Dear sir or madam, Back at the bottom You know they say the weather’s nice this time of year Place feels like home now Think I’ve forgotten How often I’ve found myself ending up back here It’s just a quick trip Down that rabbit hole Where thoughts always go Same toxic reverie: Awful end to me Yours respectfully, I’m feeling worthless Probably deserve this So I might walk alone through this dark alley home Praying to no one something or someone just puts me down Hey I miss ya, wish you well Postcard from a living hell PS I’m drinking To drown the failure ‘Coz I’ve fucked up again like you would not believe Guilt like an anchor Pulling me under My foot’s so far inside my mouth it’s hard to breathe Down that rabbit hole Where thoughts always go Same toxic reverie: Awful end to me Yours faithfully, I’m feeling worthless Probably deserve this So I might walk alone through this dark alley home Praying to no one something or someone just puts me down Hey I miss ya, wish you well Postcard from a living hell

Jabberwocky 03:12
lyrics
Hush your mind I’m a little bit sick of hearing that I’m safe inside Where the bad things just can’t get you Thanks, I’ll deal with the devil that’s creeping underneath my bed Before the one that’s real, terrorising my head Did I crash land (Jabberwocky, Jabberwocky) In wonderland? (Jabberwocky) Wake me up ‘cause this isn’t real It’s just a bad dream A cave in my chest Hell freezes in my bloodstream But it’s all in my mind ‘cause I don’t believe In this Jabberwocky They say speak your mind But I’m far too scared of feeling like a victim I always used to play the hero So let’s play pretend that’s still who I am, not even fazed Got an iron will Moving on most days that I don’t Crash land (Jabberwocky, Jabberwocky) In wonderland (Jabberwocky) Wake me up ‘cause this isn’t real It’s just a bad dream A cave in my chest Hell freezes in my bloodstream But it’s all in my mind ‘cause I don’t believe In this Jabberwocky

Off With Your Head 02:12
lyrics
I’m angry Wanna kick holes in the walls of this mess I’m angry That I feel so goddamn powerless I’m angry As the bodies drop and pile-up Damzel, distress I’m angry Go on and wave your pitchforks in the air Just like you just don’t care Coz you don’t care You only hate Just wanna instigate A fucking police state Heads are rolling “Off with your head!” I’m angry Self righteous, tied the noose before you heard the plea I’m angry For a sick vendetta: “better get her ‘coz she’s nothing like me!” I’m angry Attack tactics to tear down those who disagree I’m angry Coz I was too chicken-shit to say “bitch I see you Wave your pitchforks in the air Just like you just don’t care” Coz you don’t care You only hate Just wanna instigate A fucking police state Heads are rolling “Off with your head!” And we’ve come so far to fall so fucking backwards An epidemic of existential dread “Off with your head!”

I’ve got these shades Stuck to my face 24/7 And I just can’t let ‘em go Starin at grey Everyday Feels like Armageddon But I still struggle letting ‘em go And it’s hard to find some peace of mind When your mind’s in pieces What’s with this critic So damn sadistic Blaring on my frequency? I feel my eardrums caving in Screaming “Get off my radio” You’re fake and a liar So don’t even try, yeah You’ll just mess it up, you know? So sick of listening, man I just wish s/he’d Get off my radio! Yeah I got that creep cursing at me 24/7 Wish s/he would just SHUT THE FUCK UP Feeding me lies Poison advice Overanalysing every little thing - it never lets up So tell me… What’s with this critic So damn sadistic Blaring on my frequency? I feel my eardrums caving in Screaming “Get off my radio” You’re fake and a liar So don’t even try, yeah You’ll just mess it up, you know? So sick of listening, man I just wish s/he’d Get off my radio!

Imposter Ft. Yours Truly 03:03
lyrics
Never believed in lizard people Til I discovered your scales Reptilian eyes Cold-blooded venom Got sick chasing your tales You said “Hearts change like the weather… and now it’s raining on you” Hearts change like the weather…. We used to freak but now you Freak me out I can’t help but think you must be an imposter Inside out Crawling in the dark tryna figure it out… Cause it feels like you died How the hell are you not a ghost? You freak me out I can’t help but think you must be an imposter Started believing you would have to be from another world Now everyday feels like a twisted dream Kinda like the human I once knew… I guess hearts change like the weather (Can’t change your heart if you never had one from the start) Hearts change like the weather…. We used to freak but now you Freak me out I can’t help but think you must be an imposter Inside out Crawling in the dark tryna figure it out Cause it feels like you died How the hell are you not a ghost? You freak me out I can’t help but think you must be an imposter I swear I knew you Not this new you What happened to you Please… theorise? Who's this stranger in familiar skin That I don't… recognise? Must be an imposter Impossible as it might seem Or you'd remember me… The one you said meant everything Freak me out I can’t help but think you must be an imposter Inside out Crawling in the dark tryna figure it out Cause it feels like you died How the hell are you not a ghost? You freak me out I can’t help but think you must be an imposter

SOJU (Ft. Sly Withers) 02:41
lyrics
I don’t express negative feelings very well And as a consequence I’m going through hell On the daily… maybe it’s my fault? That’s what I’m reading on the internet… These memes have got me all figured out… Saying shit like “set some healthy boundaries” And “stop all of your people pleasing” “It’s the reason you’ve been stressing out” So here’s another fuck you Don’t you tell me what to do Too old for this shit I quit Taking it from fucks like you And maybe one day I might say it to your face Instead of swallow it down like soju I have some difficulties try’n to say no And if I don't set healthy boundaries I'll break under the load Don't have time for it, too obvious, the feeling brought you home What a way to grow up emtpy, you’re just here to let me know Cause I’ve been living like dirt stuck up in your bulldozer Feel like such a damn pushover Wish I could stick up for myself So here’s another fuck you Don’t you tell me what to do Too old for this shit I quit Taking it from fucks like you And maybe one day I might say it to your face Instead of swallow it down like soju With all my other fuck you’s So here’s another fuck you

My psych, your psych Put ‘em in a ring Let ‘em fight it out To figure out the state we’re in My psych, your psych Put ‘em in a ring Let ‘em fight it out For who’s to blame for everything Where’s the off switch? I wanna stop the ride! Choking on words like I’ve been gargling cyanide It’s a toxic, hot, sick sentimental cuck White knuckles on rails like we’re stuck Upside down on a broken roller coaster Bathtub… Toaster… Who’s the victim? Answer’s not any closer… My psych, your psych, put ‘em in a ring… Sock me with your next punch Just to break the tension Antisocial combat Cruel intentions Stalemate on the front lines Dyin’ from the drama Screaming like a rabbit in a cage of trauma Dig in nails Systems fail Just another fucked up fairytale Hand me a gas mask Coz I can’t breathe in this room! It’s a bomb site, no light coming through the cracks Just black, wrapped up like a tomb Shrink my head I’m hanging by a thread Upside down on a broken helter skelter Baseball… Belter… Who’s the abuser? My psych, your psych, put ‘em in a ring… Sock me with your next punch Just to break the tension Antisocial combat Cruel intentions Stalemate on the front lines Dyin’ from the drama Screaming like a rabbit in a cage of trauma Dig in nails Systems fail Just another fucked up fairytale My psych, your psych Put ‘em in a ring Let ‘em fight it out To figure out the state we’re in My psych, your psych Put ‘em in a ring Let ‘em fight it out For who’s to blame for everything Fuckin’ bullshit mate

Low Budget Horror 03:01
lyrics
Maniac Maniac With a camera You attack In the dark Like a predator Poor mental health is an excuse I can’t acquit For being such a piece of shit People like People like you Repulse me Treating pain Treating pain Like it’s currency You inflict damage ‘coz you’re damaged to the core I won’t accept it anymore Come on then Cast me in your fucked up dream Corn syrup murder scene You’re gonna You’re gonna You’re gonna die for This low budget horror Such a sad attempt to terrorise Derivative plot line You’re gonna You’re gonna You’re gonna cry for This low budget horror starring me Did you think That I’d shake Shake and shiver? Try to tear me apart Like the ripper? The only shocking thing about this story’s twist Is people like you exist I’m Exorcist, You’re Troll 2 Almost embarrassed for you Fingerless Freddie, threadbare Not even good enough for my nightmares Come on then Cast me in your fucked up dream Corn syrup murder scene You’re gonna You’re gonna You’re gonna die for This low budget horror Such a sad attempt to terrorise Derivative plot line You’re gonna You’re gonna You’re gonna cry for This low budget horror starring me Come on then Cast me in your fucked up dream Corn syrup murder scene You’re gonna You’re gonna You’re gonna die for This low budget horror And I - I never asked for this But I’m not afraid So go lay in The death bed you’ve made You’re gonna You’re gonna You’re gonna cry for This low budget horror starring me

I think I lost my underwear To the poser with long hair In the Frankie’s fun room stall, yeah I swear And I think that I might need an intervention I kissed the girl with champagne eyes Who I secretly despise Coz she’s prettier than me Genetically fancy And I think that I might need an intervention Yeah I think that I might need an intervention It’s all just glitter in the trash can Poison Ivy, Batman, lock me up Coz I’m a good girl with some bad intentions And I think that I might need an intervention I’m always sad like Hollywood And I abuse my body til it feels good Watch me powder my nose Off the skin from your bones And I think that I might need an intervention It’s all just glitter in the trash can Poison Ivy, Batman, lock me up Coz I’m a good girl with some bad intentions And I think that I might need an intervention Would it be ok To lose my mind today? Don’t mind, just lock me up Coz I’m a good girl with some bad intentions And I think that I might need an intervention

Fell into a hole Hit the bottom like a stone Heavy, I should know I’ve got one all of my own Doesn’t mean I know what it feels like Wish I knew how to help you heal, like Strange how we all suffer together Thinking we all suffer alone And I’m terrified Just don’t know what to say To convince you to stay Not like I can’t relate But I’m tripping on words for it Inarticulate Lost a friend back when I was healing Didn’t know he had that same feeling It’s strange how we all suffer together Thinking we all suffer alone If only I had known all the answers Took my friend like an aggressive cancer It’s strange how we’re all dying together Thinkin we’re dying alone And I’m terrified Just don’t know what to say To convince you to stay Not like I can’t relate But I’m capped at the knees ‘Coz this evil disease Won’t let any damn thing ever penetrate Like my tongue’s twisted inside a vice Reaching for you in the quicksand But I’m tripping on words for it Inarticulate And I’m terrified, I just don’t know what to say to convince you to stay It’s strange how we all suffer together Thinking we all suffer alone Fell into a hole Hit the bottom like a stone Heavy, I should know I’ve got one all of my own And I’m terrified Just don’t know what to say To convince you to stay Not like I can’t relate But I’m capped at the knees ‘Coz this evil disease Won’t let any damn thing ever penetrate Like my tongue’s twisted inside a vice Reaching for you in the quicksand But I’m tripping on words for it Inarticulate Still tripping on words for it, Inarticulate

SAY 02:58
lyrics
“Go on and Say what you wanna Say what you wanna Say As long as you agree Say what you wanna Say what you wanna Say As long as you agree with me” You’re shining like a gaslighter Nobody lights up a room like ya You light my fuse Like someone’s gonna lose Like I lost a couple’ screws in your Fire You treat me like I’m made of plastic One day I might snap like an elastic This lowbrow cash cow Never had the know-how Might as well just quit now “Go on and Say what you wanna Say what you wanna Say As long as you agree Say what you wanna Say what you wanna Say As long as you agree with me” You said, “hurry ‘coz you’re use-by-dated And your image is far too complicated Just be one thing Little puppet on a string Just shut your mouth and sing Just shut your mouth and – Say what you wanna Say what you wanna Say As long as you agree Say what you wanna Say what you wanna Say As long as you agree with me” Crack me like a pinata Just hit me harder To get what you, to get what you want Crack me like a pinata Just hit me harder To get what you, to get what you want And it’s the same old boring story A million in his-story These big bloodsuckers Abusing power for glory They’re just getting way more stealthy now… So shutup, shutup, shutup… “Go on and Say what you wanna Say what you wanna Say As long as you agree Say what you wanna Say what you wanna Say As long as you agree with me” Crack me like a pinata Just hit me harder To get what you, to get what you want Crack me like a pinata Just hit me harder To get what you, to get what you want

about

RedHook are a fiercely independent, shapeshifting alt-rock foursome from Sydney, Australia who’ve quickly accumulated a global fanbase and tens of millions of streams through their powerful songwriting and captivating live show.



Featuring the core creative duo of Emmy Mack and Craig Wilkinson, two strangers from regional New South Wales whose paths collided after moving to Sydney in 2017, RedHook combine with young gun drummer Alex Powys and seasoned bassist Ned Jankovic to create heartfelt, attitude-filled and relatable alternative rock music that consistently defies classification.



The strength of their debut single ‘Minute On Fire’ in 2018 was enough to attract the interest of one of the lead promoters of the UK’s iconic Download Festival, who swiftly invited RedHook over to play. The band were then snapped up by The Hen House Artist Management (worldwide) and inked booking deals with New World Artists (AUS) and Wasserman (UK/EU), going on to conquer some of Australia’s biggest music festival stages (Download, Good Things, Stonefest, BIGSOUND). They also completed their debut international tour (supporting metal titans Three Days Grace across the UK & Europe), launched their own gender diversity-inspired alternative festival in Sydney, 'UsFest', and undertook four complete Australian tours (selling out the Melbourne and Sydney legs of their own debut headline tour).



As RedHook’s global fanbase grew steadily with each single release and live show, many big things followed. The band were named triple j Unearthed feature artist, Kerrang! Radio feature artist and were invited to host the ABC’s iconic rage program. They’ve consistently featured as one of the top 50 most-played artists on triple j Unearthed every year since 2019.



2021 saw RedHook release their long-awaited debut EP ‘Bad Decisions’ which has ticked over 13 million Spotify streams and had its two lead singles added to rotation on triple j. The record earned praise from Kerrang! (UK), Rock Sound (UK), Rolling Stone (AUS) and many more, even scooping a 2022 AIR Independent Music Awards nomination for best punk EP or album.



RedHook continued their steady rise across 2022 with their debut performances at Australia’s UNIFY Gathering, Groovin’ The Moo and boutique festival Rolling Sets, as well as playing one of the world’s most iconic rock festivals Rock AM Ring/Rock im Park in Germany alongside the likes of Green Day and Muse, accompanied by a second tour of Europe supporting The Faim. Their own headline ‘Bring Ya Mates’ tour was also a huge success with multiple sold out shows around Australia as it emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic. This was followed by a mammoth 28-date, two-month-long regional Australian tour as main support for metalcore titans In Hearts Wake and a triumphant return the Good Things festival stage alongside Bring Me The Horizon and Deftones, where RedHook made history as the first band to grace the lineup twice.



In May 2022, RedHook returned with ‘Jabberwocky’ their most gut-wrenching single to date, which was immediately added to triple j high rotation and added to the cover of Spotify’s popular ‘All New Rock’ Playlist. Follow-up singles ‘SAY’ and ‘Soju’ Ft. Sly Withers have both since been added to full rotation on triple j.



These singles will feature on RedHook’s long-anticipated debut album, Postcard From A Living Hell, which is due to arrive on April 21st, 2023. The band will support the release with a monster Australian tour joining international grunge icons The Smashing Pumpkins at the debut of their travelling The World Is A Vampire Festival throughout April, before embarking on their own 11-date Australian headline tour in May.
