Screamfeeder. A noisy pop/indie rock band from Australia. Lovers of loud and beautiful music since they were each conceived, they have been compared to all the greats; Husker Du, The Jam, The Replacements and The Who. Contradictions and dualities abound within Screamfeeder, and therein lies their beauty. They’re the band whose songs are imprinted into the DNA of every Australian music-lover who came of age in the 90’s and 00’s. A band of eternally-youthful fuzz-pop darlings who, however improbably, have continued to play together for 30 years and somehow have not only gotten better, but have become even more loved. A band that combines loud with beautiful, intense with joyous, chaotic with precise and pulls it all together in a way that very few acts ever manage.
After forming in Brisbane in 1991, Screamfeeder quickly became fan favourites, touring relentlessly with a solid DIY punk ethic. Musically, their first three albums showed a band harnessing the power of 80s hardcore guitar sounds with melodic earworms. In 1996, it all came together with Kitten Licks, an album of hyper-modern indie rock that propelled them to the upper reaches of the music industry and continues to sell today. Acclaimed albums continued to be released in the early 2000s, and the band toured the Australia and eventually the world. After a break of 10 years, they returned in 2015 with a re-release program of all their albums, and once again Screamfeeder was the band everyone wanted to hang out with. 2017 saw the first new album in ages, Pop Guilt, proving that the band still had the ability to craft memorable pop songs. Their latest album, entitled simply Five Rooms, was released to unanimous acclaim in May 2022. It’s another Screamfeeder classic, mixing sharp pop hooks with slower wall-of-guitar anthems, an album unlike anything else at the moment and proof that great songwriters never lose their touch.
After a sold-out November 2024 tour with fellow legends Bluebottle Kiss, and four sold-out December shows with the Hoodoo Gurus, Screamfeeder return to Aotearoa for the first time in over twenty years. See for yourself what everyone is saying – this band is at the peak of its live power. Screamfeeder believe in writing good songs and performing them like their lives depend on it. Old school? Sh*t yeah, and proud of it.
“Five Rooms is a thunderous and evocative album: filled with a certain melodic sweetness that is underpinned by a raw, organic instrumentation with shades of light and darkness, subtle at times, fuzzy and muscular at other times. This is a band at their very best, showing creativity has no use by date.” (Backseat Mafia)
