Join Matty for this exclusive chat with Zach and Billy from Hockey Dad on the release day of their fourth studio album "Rebuild Repeat"

It's been a busy couple of years for the guys, fresh off a Sold-Out US Tour (and Zach's Wedding in Canada) the boys are back in Australia ahead of some exclusive release shows and a Massive tour in June/July!

It's been a slow release for this album that's already giving us 3  cracking singles but it's been worth the wait. The lads take us behind the writing and recording process, plus share some insight on touring in Australia and abroad.

You'll also hear some stories touring in the early days of the band, playing festivals and going on tour with Ocean Alley, Third Eye Blind, Dune Rats and more.

Congrats on the release guys and always a pleasure to have you!

We Chat To Hockey Dad on ALBUM Release Day!

Eliza and the Delusionals' journey is packed with memorable moments. From the casual banter about food in the Virgin Lounge to the intense recording sessions with Holy Holy, each experience has shaped their musical identity. Oscar's influence pushed them to explore new creative depths, even featuring his dog's breathing sounds on their album.

Their recording routine, filled with golden moments and hearty roast dinners, reflects their dedication to crafting authentic music. However, not all experiences were smooth sailing, as Oscar's adamant refusal to host bands again attests. Yet, playing live, whether on tour with The Front Bottoms or Luca Brasi, has been a highlight, even amidst the chaos of rationing chips and unexpected mishaps like getting their bus stuck on the way to Aspen.

As they anticipate their upcoming album release and reflect on collaborations with icons like Butch Vig and Bryan from Silver Sun Pick Ups, Eliza and the Delusionals remain grounded by the warmth of the music community. From unforgettable encounters at festivals like Bottlerock to chance (and hilarious) meetings with industry figures like Dicko from Australian Idol, their journey is a testament to perseverance and passion in the ever-evolving world of music.

We're getting a massive National Tour and WE cannot wait!!!
