ARIA-nominated punks These New South Whales have returned swinging with their fiery new single ‘INSTINCT’, alongside the announcement of a national headline tour this October.
The fresh track is a straight-to-the-point punk missile with a defiant chorus (“Listen to your instinct / Fuck what the rest of them think”) that slices through a pounding backdrop of drop-bass, razor-edged riffs, and hardcore urgency, courtesy of producer Ben Greenberg (Show Me The Body, Depeche Mode, Ceremony).
These New South Whales – ‘INSTINCT’
According to frontman Jamie Timony, the song is a mantra for tuning out the noise: “I’ve wasted so much energy over the years worrying about what other people think,” he says. “It’s such a futile, counterproductive pursuit… Now more than ever, it feels important to stay connected to yourself, your instincts, and to what’s actually real.”
While the band first turned heads with their satirical mockumentary TV series and comedy projects, any idea of TNSW being a parody act was blown to bits with their critically acclaimed 2022 self-titled LP — which debuted at #9 on the ARIA Albums Chart and scored an ARIA nom for Best Heavy Album.
Since then, they’ve racked up an impressive live resume, sharing stages with the likes of Shame, Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, The Garden, and Grinspoon, while also taking on triple j’s Like A Version.
Beyond the stage, they’ve built a multi-platform empire — from their cult Comedy Central series and satirical talk show TNSW Tonight! to their long-running What A Great Punk podcast, now closing in on 500 eps.
This October, These New South Whales will unleash their latest era on stages across the country, hitting the big five cities – Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Fremantle and Adelaide – joined by Delivery and The Antics.
