DZ Deathrays are back with another sample of their upcoming album, Easing Out of Control.
‘Pissing In The Breeze’ is an adrenaline-filled shot to the arm of crushing riffs and electronic flourishes that explores the end of the world. It’s the sixth track shared from the album, following ‘Sideways’, ‘Real Love’, ‘Skyline’, ‘Like No Other’ and ‘First Night Fever’.
Arriving Friday 16 January 2026 (pre-order/pre-save here), the album was originally proposed as two EPs showcasing the trio’s heavy rock meets experimental pop sound, but has been combined into one, ten-track album showcasing the band’s unique sounds.
“This song was one of the first songs we wrote towards this project,” says Shane Parsons. “It's a robotic, punchy, fast-driven song that borrows electronic elements with glitchy loops propelling it forward the entire way through.
“Lyrically this track is all about the destruction of the planet and the failed attempts and backwards steps we take as humanity to try to correct the issues. It was a song that originally stayed really static, and we added the bridge chord progression to open up the song, and while jamming with Luke Henery (Bass), he came up with the monster ending.”
The trio of Shane Parsons (vocals/guitar), Simon Ridley (drums) and Lachlan Ewbank (guitar) have locked in six shows to coincide with the release of Easing Out of Control.
DZ Deathray’s tour begins at the Rosemount Hotel in Boorloo/Perth on Friday 16 January, with support from Rat Salad and GRUB. DZ Deathrays then perform in Kaurna/Adelaide at Lion Arts Factory on Saturday 17 January, with rising stars Molly Rocket and Dark Daze and at Croxton Bandroom in Naarm/Melbourne on Friday 23 January alongside The Pretty Littles, Sleepazoid and Oh! Daisy.
Next up is Altar Bar in Palawa Kani/Hobart on Saturday 24 January with Legal Noise and Rabbit, followed by a gig at Crowbar in Meanjin/Brisbane on Friday 30 January, sharing the stage with Dartz, Special Features and Knee. The final show on the tour is at Gadigal/Sydney’s Crowbar on Saturday 7 February, alongside Lahgo, Dartz and Cammy Cautions and the Wrestlers.

Easing Out of Control features Violent Soho’s Luke Henery on bass and was recorded at DZ’s home studio.
“This is a record that dips in and out of chaos and more delicate moments,” says vocalist and guitarist Shane Parsons. “We wanted to bring in more dance music elements, but still keep that raw DZ sound alive.”
