PRODUCED BY RENAISSANCE BIRD

Passionate, political and firmly attached to the dancefloor, Australian band NASTY PARTY is a pants to the wall punk n' new wave sonic party built around the twin songwriting, vocal and guitar attack of Nasty Simon and Rhys Nasty, formed in 2019. 

A totally eclectic mutant melting pot of everything the duo love about their favourite bands, laced with lyrics that bring to light themes relevant to today's world from progressive politics to the changing fabric of society.

Based in Sydney and London, the two duelling songwriter/singer/guitarists bash out self produced tunes that slide in somewhere between the melodic choruses of The Buzzcocks and The Cure, the bratty classic punk of Sex Pistols, The Jam, The Voidoids and The Ramones, the Antipodean guitar assault of The Angels and AC/DC and the spiky angular subversiveness of Wire and Gang Of Four.
