It's a long road from Computer Town Australia to an Airbnb in Los Angeles, but in just under six years Hockey Dad have blazed the trail there and back again. Billy Fleming and Zach Stephenson have known one another since they were kids, growing up on the same street in the southern suburbs of Wollongong. They formed Hockey Dad on a whim in 2012, and the years since have seen them steadily build up a profile as one of the country's hardest-touring and most fun to watch bands. Rolling darts out in the gutter of Young Henry's in Newtown before playing with Grinspoon (as you do), the duo talked about their evolution from grommits to headliners and all the adventures that have come with it.
Hockey Dad's brand-new album, Blend Inn, is out today via Farmer & The Owl.To stream, download and purchase the album, visit http://hockeydad.bandcamp.com

Across over ten years of going to shows, I've met countless fascinating people that are joined together by the fact I love their music. This is a medium in which I look to find out the bigger picture, the extended story and the journey that brought them to where they are. No genre or topic is off limits. I'm David James Young - and all my friends are in bar bands.
