Premiere: Goon Gremlins Unveil Bold New Video for ‘Jesus Was a Goon Sack’

Today, we’re bringing you the very first viewing of the epic video from Newcastle’s indie punk sensation, Goon Gremlins, for their latest track, ‘Jesus Was a Goon Sack’. Bursting with raw energy and a cheeky sense of humour, this visual treat perfectly captures the band’s signature blend of gritty garage rock and irreverent fun.

The video is a lively mix of performance and narrative, reflecting the band’s penchant for tongue-in-cheek commentary. Directed and produced by Nathan Rathsam, it’s packed with wild moments that resonate with the chaotic spirit of Goon Gremlins, drawing comparisons to the iconic style of Spike Jonze. The video cleverly intertwines the band’s performance with a storyline that both entertains and provokes thought, adding depth to the track’s playful yet pointed message.

Emerging onto the scene in 2022 with their debut single ‘Dumb’, Goon Gremlins have quickly become a staple of the East Coast’s indie punk landscape. ‘Jesus Was a Goon Sack’, their second single, is a fast-paced ode to the beloved goon sack—a staple of Australian youth. The track’s fuzzy, raw sound, reminiscent of Teen Jesus and The Jean Teasers, and Amyl and The Sniffers, pairs perfectly with its bold lyrical content, making it a must-listen for fans of high-energy punk rock.

With ‘Jesus Was a Goon Sack’, Goon Gremlins continue to solidify their reputation as a band that’s as thought-provoking as they are fun, delivering music that’s both a celebration and a critique. Check out the video now and see what all the buzz is about!
