This comes with the release of their first single of 2020 with ‘Flicker’ – as they enter a new era of maturity. Since the release of their debut full-length album Barefoot (2017), Shag Rock have toured the USA, embarked on multiple headline tours locally and across the ditch, and subsequently amassed a passionately loyal fan-base. Over the past few years, the comfortably dishevelled group of Alex Wilson, Jacob Reed, Nick Cavdarski and Max Beech have had their heads buried deep in the lyric books. Working with producer Ian Haug (Powderfinger, The Church) and signed to his label Airlock Records; they are finally ready to share their art.
