GET PUMPED. Hotly tipped Milwaukee punk quartet DIRECT HIT! are headed to Australia for the first time ever. Still giddy from the international pick up of their 2016 Fat Wreck Chords LP WASTED MIND, these mind-bending giggos are going to be some of the year’s best.

Taking inspiration from William S. Burroughs’ Naked Lunch and Hunter S. Thompson’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, the gonzo effect takes hold on the new album, with unnerving narratives about never ending acid trips and drug-fueled partying. This pathological commitment to a party paired with the band’s high-energy pop punk output, guarantees that Direct Hit’s series of small Aussie giggos are going to be a riotous time and a half.   

Perth’s The Decline are joining Direct Hit on this tour and have just returned from touring Europe with CJ Ramone, celebrating their new album RESISTER.
