EXCLUSIVE: FANGZ Ink Deal With Impressed Recordings, Announce Debut Album

Sydney/Eora punk rock outfit FANGZ have big news today, exclusively announcing their signing to Impressed Records and unveiling their debut album, Shui. FANGZ Shui, get it?

In addition to those announcements, the band will release the new single, Anne Marie, this week and share the plan for their largest national tour to date. Anne Marie saw FANGZ team up with Aussie rock royalty; the single was produced by Tim Maxwell (LOSER) and mixed by Jonathan Gardner (Front End Loader, Grinspoon).

The band told The Music about their signing to Impressed Records: “Stoked to be signing with Impressed Recordings, an independent label backing us to get this album out.

“Getting help pressing vinyl in 2025 is a win in itself—streaming pays nothing, and bands are expected to be full-time content creators, comedians, logistics specialists, e-comm experts—and in their spare time, write music. We’ve made something we’re proud of. If you want to support: buy the album, come to a show, bring a mate.”

Commenting on Anne Marie, singer Josh Cottreau added, “Anne Marie is a heartfelt tribute to my sister, Leigh-Anne Marie — a constant source of strength, support, and unconditional love. The song reflects on moments of struggle, gratitude, and personal growth, honouring the one person who never gave up, even when times were hardest. It’s a message of appreciation for her unwavering belief and a reminder to keep going and never stop doing what you love.”

Ann Marie will be released this Friday (30 May). You can pre-save the track here. Shui will be released on Friday, 4 July, via Impressed Recordings.
