Wollongong outfit Good Lekker are back with their new single, Belligerence! The six-piece have also announced a national tour off the back of the release.
Produced and mixed by Daniel Willington (ILUKA), and mastered by Steve Smart (Vance Joy, Tash Sultana, Dean Lewis), the song challenges toxic masculinity and highlights the insecurity that accompanies acts of violence and aggression. The dynamic track brings the bands signature fusion of indie-dance, built upon bouncy production led by glistening guitar melodies, ardent percussion and feverous synth work.
Speaking of the track, band member Joshua Fahy shares: “The song is inspired by a real-world run in with a character that no one wants to deal with. An arms-crossed, explosive ball of masculine narcissism. Because of its inspiration, the song aims to satirise and critique the caricature of a violent male - a person all too prevalent in our world. They’re not worth challenging on their own terms - because as an over quoted author has said: ‘Never wrestle with a pig – you both get dirty, and the pig likes it.’
Kicking off in Melbourne on February 14, Good Lekker's national tour will continue on to Brisbane, Sydney and Wagga Wagga, before wrapping up with a set at Wollongong's Yours & Owls Festival on April 2. The six-piece will also be joining Bootleg Rascal on their tour, supporting the band in Wollongong and Sydney. Tickets are on sale now!
Good Lekker burst on to the scene with their debut EP, which saw them tour the east coast of Australia with a string of sold out performances. No strangers to hitting the road, the band have embarked on multiple headline tours and supporting crowd favourites Boo Seeka and The Babe Rainbow, as well as slots at Australian boutique festivals Party in the Paddock, Yours & Owls, Sweaty Palms, FKA Festival and Garden Party.
Belligerence is out now! Listen to the song below.
