Description
OLD MATESis a full-circle release from Brisbane punk lifersDune Rats, celebrating where it all began while pushing forward with the same reckless conviction thats defined the band for over 15 years.
The album collectsfan-favourite tracks from Dune Rats first three EPs–Dune Rats(2011),Social Atoms(2012) andSmile(2013) – alongside the brand new singleSHARKS, a raw, defiant anthem about backing yourself and swimming against the current.
Three early tracks –Fuck It,On Our OwnandRatbags– have beenre-recorded in 2026, breathing new life into the songs that helped define the bands formative punk-garage sound.
OLD MATEScaptures the chaos, optimism and DIY spirit of early house shows, coastal towns and sweaty rooms – a snapshot of Dune Rats before the charts, the industry noise and expectations. Loud, nostalgic and forward-looking, its a reminder that sometimes the only way forward is to ignore the noise and keep paddling.
