Your Heroes Are Bullshit

Sentimental Surgery

Maniac
Maniac
With a camera
You attack
In the dark
Like a predator

Poor mental health is an excuse I can’t acquit
For being such a piece of shit

People like
People like you
Repulse me
Treating pain
Treating pain
Like it’s currency

You inflict damage ‘coz you’re damaged to the core
I won’t accept it anymore

Come on then
Cast me in your fucked up dream
Corn syrup murder scene
You’re gonna
You’re gonna
You’re gonna die for 
This low budget horror

Such a sad attempt to terrorise 
Derivative plot line
You’re gonna
You’re gonna
You’re gonna cry for
This low budget horror starring me

Did you think 
That I’d shake
Shake and shiver?
Try to tear me apart
Like the ripper?

The only shocking thing about this story’s twist
Is people like you exist

I’m Exorcist,
You’re Troll 2
Almost embarrassed for you
Fingerless Freddie, threadbare
Not even good enough for my nightmares

Come on then
Cast me in your fucked up dream
Corn syrup murder scene
You’re gonna
You’re gonna
You’re gonna die for 
This low budget horror

Such a sad attempt to terrorise 
Derivative plot line
You’re gonna
You’re gonna
You’re gonna cry for
This low budget horror starring me

Come on then
Cast me in your fucked up dream
Corn syrup murder scene
You’re gonna
You’re gonna
You’re gonna die for 
This low budget horror

And I -
I never asked for this
But I’m not afraid 
So go lay in
The death bed you’ve made
You’re gonna
You’re gonna
You’re gonna cry for
This low budget horror starring me

Low Budget Horror

Produced by Stevie Knight (Stand Atlantic, Yours Truly) and mixed by James Paul Wisner (Underoath, Paramore), ‘Jabberwocky’ is an intensely personal song that addresses vocalist Emmy Mack’s experience of being sexually assaulted while on RedHook’s first ever overseas tour.

Using the metaphor of the Jabberwocky (a fictional monster from the Alice In Wonderland mythos which, in the Irwin Allen film adaptation, Alice is ultimately able to vanquish by convincing herself it doesn’t exist), the song centres on Emmy’s coping process of denying her own trauma and the monster who inflicted it in order to effectively “go on with the show”.

Menacing guitars and frenetic synths charge beneath Mack’s powerful vocals, building into a psychotic dubstep-inspired breakdown before the vulnerable chorus lyrics take centre stage.

Emmy explains the inspiration behind the track:

“As difficult as this song was to write, I felt like it was something I had to do. One of the main ways I cope when horrible things happen in life is by listening to music. But when this happened to me, for the very first time, I couldn’t find a song that resonated with what I was going through. Isn’t it strange that we’ve heard so many stories about high-profile male predators in the heavy music space over the past few years, and yet there are so few songs in the genre that deal with sexual assault itself from a female perspective? I really wanted to help change that.”

SAY is a heavy riffing firecracker with an irresistible vocal hook taking aim at Emmy’s experiences of misogyny in the music industry both before & after the #metoo movement. It’s a song for anyone who’s ever been made to feel like their voice doesn’t matter.

The Critic

Produced by Stevie Knight (Stand Atlantic, Yours Truly) and mixed by James Paul Wisner (Underoath, Paramore), 'Off With Your Head' is a crushing, politically-charged rap-metal rave monster powered by venomous lyrics that rage against various types of mob-fuelled injustice, from the conservative war on women's bodies to the dark side of cancel culture.

Singer Emmy Mack explains the inspiration behind the track:

"I wrote the lyrics to 'Off With Your Head' at a time when I was feeling overwhelmed, appalled, and devastated by a number of horrifying injustices going on in the world around me. Over in the US, the overturning of Roe v. Wade robbed women and girls of the fundamental right to make informed decisions about their own bodies, the consequences of which I, along with many others, knew would be deadly and devastating. While in my own backyard, I watched on in horror as cancel culture was weaponised by a sick person with a cruel vendetta to destroy an innocent woman I loved and admired. I felt sick with anger, and powerless to do anything about it, so I poured everything I had into this song."

'Off With Your Head' will feature on RedHook's debut album 'Postcard From A Living Hell', which is slated for release on Friday, April 21. You can Pre-Order 'Postcard From A Living Hell' here - https://lnk.weareredhook.com/album

Off With Your Head

Postcard Xo

Produced by Stevie Knight (Stand Atlantic, Yours Truly) and mixed by James Paul Wisner (Underoath, Paramore), 'Soju' is a saxophone-inflected pop-punk anthem, which features guest vocals from Sly Withers' frontman Jono Mata and a final chorus performed live by hundreds of RedHook fans, recorded at the band's 2022 regional headliner in Yerrowah/Shellharbour, NSW.

Singer Emmy Mack explains the inspiration behind the track:

"I wrote 'Soju' about the perils of being a 'people pleaser' and the feelings of frustration and resentment that can boil up when you don't set healthy boundaries, and allow more assertive personalities to push you around. It’s a 'fuck you' song, but it's also simultaneously a 'fuck me' song because at the end of the day, it's up to each of us to prioritise our own needs and not compromise our values to keep the peace. Some people like me just struggle with it a bit harder than others."

'Soju' will feature on RedHook's debut album 'Postcard From A Living Hell', which is slated for release on April 21, 2023.

Soju Ft. Sly Withers

After dropping their long-anticipated debut album 'Postcard From A Living Hell' in April 2023, which charted #10 on ARIA and scored a coveted triple j feature album spotlight, RedHook now return with the first single of their new era, 'Tourist'.

Inspired by a quote from pop culture dad-figure Ron Swanson (from beloved TV comedy series 'Parks & Rec') 'Tourist' is a dark, string-drenched, heavy alt-rock anthem about leaving an abusive relationship with a narcissist. 

The release of 'Tourist' comes as RedHook gear up for a huge Aussie summer festival season, including spots at Spilt Milk, Yours & Owls and Adelaide's Froth & Fury fest.

Tourist

Conceptualised as a sequel to RedHook’s 2020 single ‘Cure 4 Psycho’ (3 million streams on Spotify), ‘Scream 2’ is the next chapter in a painfully relatable horror story for anyone who has survived narcissistic abuse. It’s a chaotically heavy, pit-ready rager about refusing to let yourself be drawn in by more vindictive mind games, even when the narcissist starts weaponising your own trauma against you.

Scream 2

From vocalist Emmy Mack 

'Breaking Up With' is a tongue-in-cheek, party rock anthem about letting go of self-sabotaging thoughts and self-destructive behaviour and just deciding to be bloody kinder to yourself. Lyrically it takes the piss out of break-up cliches to signify ending that toxic relationship (with, you know, yourself) and starting fresh :)
