Sydney Punk Rockers FANGZ Drop Explosive Debut Album ‘Shui’ and Announce National Tour

Eora/Sydney punk outfit FANGZ have officially unleashed their long-awaited debut album Shui, an 11-track onslaught of raw energy, grit, and unfiltered emotion. Out now, the record captures the chaos and catharsis that has defined the band’s journey since their formation in 2019.

Packed with hard-hitting singles like “Anne Marie,” “Wasting Time,” “Wide Awake,” and “Same Old Story,” Shui showcases FANGZ’s signature blend of searing guitar riffs, pounding drums, and frontman Josh Cottreau’s powerful, visceral vocals. It’s a collection that balances unhinged punk chaos with melodic vulnerability, embodying the band’s fearless approach to their craft.

“A debut album’s always a bit unhinged and slightly rough — bands figuring themselves out in real time. FANGZ Shui has that energy. We locked ourselves in a Melbourne studio, away from all distractions and comforts, and made something that sounds like what it felt like: loud, dangerous, evolutionary, drunk — and ultimately, ours. In real life, I’m thankful to my bandmates for going on this thankless ride with me.” – Josh Cottreau, FANGZ.

With years of mayhem, sold-out shows, festival slots, and global support from outlets like NME and Rolling Stone, Shuiis a career-defining release that cements FANGZ as one of Australia’s most electrifying punk bands.
