Led by vocal vehicle Emmy Mack, RedHook consists of fierce guitar playing from Craig Wilkinson, gut-punch drumming from Alex Powys and slinky basslines from Ned Jankovic. Together they have been winning over the nation with their intense yet fun anthems including the 2023 ‘Postcards from Hell’, ‘Bad Decisions’, ‘Cure 4 Psycho’ and ‘Kamikaze’.

Their latest release for ‘Breaking Up With’ has thus far seen the band garner attention on Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer and YouTube Music and was added to rotation on national broadcaster triple j. The outrageous accompanying music video directed by Colin Jeffs (‘Imposter’ feat. Yours Truly, ‘Tourist’) which features superstars from Pro Wrestling Australia, was also added to rotation on ABC’s rage.

It’s this blend of high quality production, insanely catchy riffs and choruses, and undeniable showmanship that has earnt them support slots touring with Smashing Pumpkins, Janes Addiction and Stand Atlantic and won them spots on renowned festival stages including Download UK, Rock For People in Czech Republic, Split Milk, Germany’s Rock am Ring and Rock im Park, Yours and Owls, Groovin’ The Moo, Good Things and UNIFY Gathering.

Emmy Mack says of the upcoming tour, “It’s been 16 months between Soju shots, but we’re ready for a full send! We couldn’t be more excited to hit the road with this insanely good lineup (to be honest, I’m very excited for the ladies’ bathroom to be extra crowded on this tour) and hang with all our legendary fans, who are the entire reason we do what we do. See you in the saxophone circle pit!”
