After ripping it up across the UK, Europe and the US, NSW indie-rockers Surf Trash are back on home soil and ready to turn it up to 11 for their Aussie fans.

Off the back of recent singles 'Do It All Again', 'Golden Plain', 'Mr Speers' and the just-released 'Ricochet', along with the announcement of their sophomore album No Chaser, out Friday 28 August, the lads are hitting the road from September to November, playing shows across Australia and New Zealand.

Surf Trash's Aussie leg of the tour begins in Brisbane at The Brightside on Friday 25 September, followed by shows at The Balcony on the Gold Coast on Saturday 26 September and an appearance at Yours & Owls Festival in Wollongong on Sunday 4 October.

The tour then moves to New Zealand for shows at Queenstown's Yonder on Friday 9 October, Lyttelton's Wunderbar on Saturday 10 October and Auckland's Whammy Bar on Sunday 11 October.

It's then back to Australia for gigs at Sydney's Burdekin Bandroom on Friday 16 October, Melbourne's Bergy Bandroom on Thursday 5 November and Adelaide's Ed Castle on Friday 6 November, before the band wraps things up with two shows in Western Australia at Perth's Indian Ocean Hotel on Saturday 7 November and Fremantle's Spaced Out Fest on Sunday 8 November.

For close to a decade, Surf Trash have been bringing the good times with their absorbing sound combining modern indie with nostalgic rock.

Hailing from Lake Macquarie and comprising Andrew Scott (lead vocals/drums), Lachlan Jackson (guitar), Patrick Russell (guitar) and Nick Scott (bass), Surf Trash's 2024 debut album The Only Place I Know peaked at #17 on the ARIA Albums Chart.

After spending the past couple of years touring and writing new music, the quartet are pumped for the release of No Chaser – which features 10 tracks of melodic surf rock.

Catch Surf Trash performing at the Ed Castle on Friday 6 November. Tickets are on sale now via oztix.com.au. No Chaser is out Friday 28 August. Pre-order here.
