PRESS RELEASE:

To mark the release of their debut album Boronia on Farmer & the Owl on August 12, Australian sensations Hockey Dad are heading over to play two select shows in New Zealand for the very first time! Growing up on the stages of small bars in Wollongong since mid-2013, Zach Stephenson (guitar/vocals) and Billy Fleming (drums) have graduated to bigger and better stages each time they’ve hit the road. Growing interest in the band led to national tours alongside the likes of Bad/Dreems and DZ Deathrays, and they were named the winners of Triple J’s Unearthed competition, landing them a spot on Byron Bay’s Falls Festival over the new year.

Hockey Dad’s story is simple: best mates first, band second, and their music flows from their surroundings: sunny and jangly guitar driven rock complete with anthemic choruses. Yet please do not mistake their laid back vibes for anything but tight execution and a drive to share their good times with the world.
