These New South Whales Announce New Album GODSPEED and Release Explosive Title Track
Melbourne punk trailblazers These New South Whales have announced their brand-new album GODSPEED, set for release on November 28, alongside the drop of its hard-hitting title track.
The new single GODSPEED sets the tone for the forthcoming record, a thundering blend of new wave, melodic hardcore, and Britpop. Produced by Ben Greenberg (Depeche Mode, Drab Majesty, Show Me The Body), the album expands on the band’s already boundary-pushing sound, following their celebrated TNSW LP.

Speaking on the track, vocalist Jamie Timony explains:
“I, like many artists, don’t particularly like to prescribe the meaning of any song. But for me personally, the lyrics to ‘GODSPEED’ were drawn from my experience of how joyous it felt to leave Alcoholics Anonymous after nine years inside of it. When you land in AA, they tell you you’re terminally ill. They say you’ve got a “disease” that only a spiritual experience can fix – and that you’ll never fully recover. Sure – but what if people were just told the truth? That they do have the capacity to make different choices? That they’re not broken, not diseased, not doomed unless they become lifelong spiritual messengers of the 12 steps?”
GODSPEED captures the band’s trademark fusion of grit, humour, and anti-establishment spirit while broadening their sonic and lyrical scope. With earlier single “INSTINCT” hinting at this bold new chapter, These New South Whales are once again proving why they remain one of Australia’s most fearless punk outfits.
Fans can catch them on their 2025 national tour this October and November. Tickets are on sale now.
