After sharing their awesome new single ‘When He Walks Around’ last week, Adelaide ragers Molly Rocket have dropped a music video for the track.
Recorded and edited by Liam Woolcock, the video shows the band performing at a kids’ party, complete with a bouncy castle and a clown who ends up demolishing a chocolate cake.
Produced with Tim Maxwell (LOSER) at Melbourne’s Wrangler Studios, the track is inspired by female bands who made their mark during the ‘90s alt-rock scene.
“‘When He Walks Around’ is a vibrant, catchy feel-good rock song inspired by the Celebrity Skin-era of grunge icons Hole, as well as the many girl-led groups of that time,” explains Molly Rocket. “The song captures the thrill of meeting someone who completely changes your world- and the fear that often comes with that shift.”
The band adds, “Lyrically, it follows a journey of infatuation with a stranger, through uncertainty, and ultimately to full acceptance of who that person is. The chorus becomes an anthem for embracing love, imperfections and all, within a chaotic world.”
The release of ‘When He Walks Around’ coincides with Molly Rocket announcing their sophomore EP, The Dogs Are Barking, which will arrive in early 2026.
Fresh from supporting Grinspoon on their huge Australian tour, Molly Rocket are supporting Oz-rock legends Gyroscope and Magic Dirt this Friday 5 December at Lion Arts Factory before joining DZ Deathrays at the same venue on Saturday 17 January.
The quartet have also announced their own 2026 headline tour that kicks off in Melbourne at Nighthawks on Saturday 21 March and continues with dates at Adelaide’s Ed Castle on Saturday 28 March, Sydney’s Buddy’s on Thursday 2 April and Wollongong’s Towradgi Beach Hotel on Friday 3 April.
