That's Shit 03:05
Just got back from my holiday in Bali So I come home, open up my car door, what do I find? There’s a coupla sleeping bags, coupla good bags, and on the back seat is a pair of pissy shoes Some dude’s been living in my car while I’ve been in Bali We’ll that’s shit That’s shit That’s shit That’s shit and I don’t like it After that I felt like I deserved a treat, a chicken treat So I went through to the chicken treat drive through and I ordered One small chips And I sat there, waiting for those chips, for 10 minutes Then when I got my chips, they were cold I said this isn’t fast food sir Nah that’s shit That’s shit That’s shit That’s shit and I don’t like it I needed to calm down So I drove down to Hyde park and sat down and watched the ducks swim around It was beautiful. So beautiful that I got all relaxed So when I next let out a little cheeky fart I realised It was shit That’s shit That’s shit That’s shit and I don’t like it Just when I thought things couldn’t get any worse I looked up and what did I see There’s a swarm of bees above my head And every time I try to get up they chase me So I have to wave my arms above my head Run through the park With shit dripping down my white overalls Man this day was shit That’s shit That’s shit That’s shit and I don’t like it That’s shit That’s shit That’s shit and I don’t like it

Red Wave 02:25
I feel fucking homicidal I’m smashing through my chocolate collection There’s a red hot poker in my ass I wanna cry and spew at the same time The god-damn dog’s gone through my bin There’s bloody bits all through the house Got a resting bitch face but it’s times 100 Everyone’s fired dumped and stupid I don’t wanna deal with this today But I guess Aunty Irma’s here to stay Can you please get the fuck out of my face Cos’ I’m surfing the red wave I’ve got the guts of a truckdriver Whose living of milkshakes pies and speed Put your goggles on it’s gonna get messy These granny undies have seen too much I don’t wanna deal with this today But I guess Aunty Irma’s here to stay Can you please get the fuck out of my face Cos I’m surfing the red wave Cos I’m surfing the red wave Cos I’m surfing the red wave Cos I’m surfing the red wave Cos I’m surfing the red wave I don’t wanna deal with this today But I guess Aunty Irma’s here to stay Can you please get the fuck out of my face Cos I’m surfing the red wave Cos I’m surfing the red wave Cos I’m surfing the red wave Cos I’m surfing the red wave Cos I’m surfing the red wave Surf’s up

about

Dropping in hot pursuit of their self-titled debut, SWEAT's newest EP "Blood n Tears" is a punk-infused, garage-inspired collection that's as relatable as it is bold. With a tongue-in-cheek approach, these tracks invite you to embrace the ups and downs of life with a rebellious grin.

Inspired by the everyday absurdities of existence, "Blood n Tears" embodies a down-to-earth, relatable vibe. From disastrous dates, the joy of menstruation, accidental public mishaps, and yes—even The Spice Girls, this EP delivers a refreshing and unapologetic feel. Lead single "Bowls Club" took the airwaves by storm, receiving spins on Triple J & RTR FM, and even earning a WAM nomination—a testament to the EP's infectious energy and raw appeal.

"Blood n Tears" marks a departure from tape to digital for SWEAT, allowing for layered guitar riffs and unabashed harmonies. Recorded and mixed by Sam Rocchi (known for his work with Cosy and Noah Dillon) and mastered by Mitch McDonald (from The Love Junkies), the EP boasts a professional yet edgy sound.
The creation process wasn't without its quirks—over two days, the band set up shop in an abandoned garden centre, where the idea of separate "Blood" and "Tears" EPs was playfully suggested. However, they opted to dive headfirst into the pun and condense the chaos into one explosive package.

Looking ahead, the band is excited to keep the momentum rolling into 2024 with more music in the works. For SWEAT, "Blood n Tears" isn't just an EP; it's an invitation to embrace and celebrate life's absurdities with a punk attitude, finding solace in knowing it's okay to let loose and not take things too seriously—even if that means occasionally embracing a public mishap in your pants.
