We had the pleasure of interviewing RedHook over Zoom video!

RedHook are a fiercely independent, shapeshifting alt-rock foursome from Sydney, Australia who’ve quickly accumulated a global fanbase and tens of millions of streams through their powerful songwriting and captivating live show.

Featuring the core creative duo of Emmy Mack and Craig Wilkinson, two strangers from regional New South Wales whose paths collided after moving to Sydney in 2017, RedHook combine with young gun drummer Alex Powys and seasoned bassist Ned Jankovic to create heartfelt, attitude-filled and relatable alternative rock music that consistently defies classification.

The strength of their debut single ‘Minute On Fire’ in 2018 was enough to attract the interest of one of the lead promoters of the UK’s iconic Download Festival, who swiftly invited RedHook over to play. The band were then snapped up by The Hen House Artist Management (worldwide) and inked booking deals with New World Artists (AUS) and Wasserman (UK/EU), going on to conquer some of Australia’s biggest music festival stages (Download, Good Things, Stonefest, BIGSOUND). They also completed their debut international tour (supporting metal titans Three Days Grace across the UK &amp; Europe), launched their own gender diversity-inspired alternative festival in Sydney, 'UsFest', and undertook four complete Australian tours (selling out the Melbourne and Sydney legs of their own debut headline tour).

As RedHook’s global fan base grew steadily with each single release and live show, many big things followed. The band were named triple j Unearthed feature artist, Kerrang! Radio feature artist and were invited to host the ABC’s iconic rage program. They’ve consistently featured as one of the top 50 most-played artists on triple j Unearthed every year since 2019.

2021 saw RedHook release their long-awaited debut EP ‘Bad Decisions’ which has ticked over 13 million Spotify streams and had its two lead singles added to rotation on triple j. The record earned praise from Kerrang! (UK), Rock Sound (UK), Rolling Stone (AUS) and many more, even scooping a 2022 AIR Independent Music Awards nomination for best punk EP or album.

RedHook continued their steady rise across 2022 with their debut performances at Australia’s UNIFY Gathering, Groovin’ The Moo and boutique festival Rolling Sets, as well as playing one of the world’s most iconic rock festivals Rock AM Ring/Rock im Park in Germany alongside the likes of Green Day and Muse, accompanied by a second tour of Europe supporting The Faim.

Their own headline ‘Bring Ya Mates’ tour was also a huge success with multiple sold out shows around Australia as it emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic. This was followed by a mammoth 28-date, two-month-long regional Australian tour as main support for metalcore titans In Hearts Wake and a triumphant return the Good Things festival stage alongside Bring Me The Horizon and Deftones, where RedHook made history as the first band to grace the lineup twice.

In May 2022, RedHook returned with ‘Jabberwocky’ their most gut-wrenching single to date, which was immediately added to triple j high rotation and added to the cover of Spotify’s popular ‘All New Rock’ Playlist. Follow-up singles ‘SAY’ and ‘Soju’ Ft. Sly Withers have both since been added to full rotation on triple j.RedHook recently released their long-anticipated debut album, Postcard From A Living Hell!

Interview with RedHook

A FUN COVER/RE-IMAGINATION OF ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS BY NEW FOUND GLORY FEATURING THE AMAZING MAIYA SYKES ON VOCALS.

Head On Collision (SLOANE COVER)

Love it when you talk like that,
When you need something
Breathe your words down my back
Tattoo chills on my skin 
Love it when you talk like that
When you need something
You ain’t even have to ask
You could take it from me



Wrap your hands around my neck
Tell me I’m your favorite
Let me know that I belong to you
Light me like ya cigarette
Smoke it til there’s nothing left
Show me everything you want to do



It’s written in your eyes it’s all I see
Come and taste the fire you started in me
Let me be your darkest fantasy
Know you want it like that, like that, like that, like that, like that
Feels so good to be bad yeah

(Drop)

Feel your thoughts on my tongue
Taste your emotions
Take the life from my lungs
Drown in your ocean
Use me up until I’m numb
you have my devotion
Sacrifice for your love
I’m begging you just

Wrap your hands around my neck
Tell me I’m your favorite
Let me know that I belong to you
Light me like ya cigarette
Smoke it til there’s nothing left
Show me everything you want to do


It’s written in your eyes it’s all I see
Come and taste the fire you started in me
Let me be your darkest fantasy
Know you want it like that, like that, like that, like that, like that
Feels so good to be bad yeah

It’s written in your eyes it’s all I see
Come and taste the fire you started in me
Let me be your darkest fantasy
Know you want it like that, like that, like that, like that, like that
Feels so good to be bad yeah
