Hot Freaks Focus: The Sinking Teeth

Answered by: Nic Manuell

What can we expect from your WA return? It'll be like a missing episode of Charlie Sheen era Two And A Half Men. 2.5 dudes, shit jokes and some banging harmonies. 

What bands are you most excited to check out at Hot Freaks and why? Definitely keen to check out Puck and Pat Chow! But the whole line-up is amazing. 

What do you think of the current state of Australian punk rock? I think it's on the comeback but I'm hanging out for a real badass frontman. I want to see someone turn into the next Nick Cave. 

Why do you think boutique festivals like Hot Freaks are so important to the scene? Boutique festivals help build communities and are a great way to meet and find out about rad interstate bands. 

What has touring with Jimmy Eat World, Bodyjar and Luca Brasi in recent years taught you? Touring with Jimmy Eat World taught us about the importance of professionalism. Touring with Bodyjar taught us about the importance of hooks and touring with Luca Brasi taught us to always support your local football club and drink the shoey that's shoved in your face. 

What can you tell us about your upcoming debut LP? It's called Songs From The Bottom Of The Lake and it's "rather dated suburban emo-core".
