Fangz Reveal New Single, ‘Same Old Story’ and Announce 24 Hour East Coast Tour
Eora/Sydney-based punk rock quintet FANGZ have announced they’ll be attempting an Australian East Coast capital city tour in one day, to support the release of their infectious single ‘Same Old Story‘ – produced by Tim Maxwell (LOSER) and mixed by Jonathan Gardner (Front End Loader, Grinspoon).
Taking cues from the likes of Jimmy Eat World, Billy Talent and FIDLAR, ‘Same Old Story’ is an invigorating tip of the hat to skate-infused punk rock. Opening with a wall of hook-laden guitars, the track briskly transitions into its emotively charged verses, before seamlessly gliding into a sombre pre-chorus; aptly enriching the gravity of its explosive sing-a-long chorus.
Frontman Josh Cottreau touches on the meaning of the track:
“‘Same Old Story’ is about living authentically and unapologetically following your dreams. Recognising a chance for change or a new beginning, and overcoming the doubts and obstacles to go after what you truly want. If you’ve ever taken a leap of faith and embraced the unknown it will resonate with you.”
Also accompanying the track is news that the group will set out to complete an East Coast tour of free entry shows in one day. On August 31, FANGZ perform at Cherry Bar in Naarm/Melbourne at 1am, followed by a hometown show at Bootleggers in Eora/Sydney at 1pm, and finishing off at Greaser in Meanjin/Brisbane at 10.30pm.

The group have also launched their very own line of hot sauce ‘Fang us Some Sauce‘, an annually curated festival ‘FANGZstock‘, and hold the Guinness world record for the most hard-boiled eggs eaten in one sitting by front man Josh Cottreau (143 eggs in three minutes and ten seconds).
Coming into 2024, the quintet have recently completed a run of headline shows and national tours with The Bennies and Cancer Bats (CAN), and announced they’ll be performing at Froth & Fury in Tandanya/Adelaide, alongside the likes of Northlane, Thy Art Is Murder and Fear Factory (USA). They also recently released a pair of tracks ‘Wasting Time‘ and ‘Nothing To Lose‘, which were warmly embraced by Spotify, Apple Music, triple j, plus a slew of community radio and blogs.
‘Same Old Story’ is available worldwide now
