FANGZ Release Ferocious Debut Album ‘Shui’

Sydney punk misfits FANGZ have today unleashed their long-awaited debut album ‘Shui’, out now via Impressed Recordings.

‘Shui’ is 11 tracks of cathartic punk rock, led by searing guitar leads and frontman Josh Cottreau‘s visceral vocals. The album features singles Anne Marie, Wasting Time, Wide Awake and Same Old Story, each showcasing FANGZ‘s ability to balance raw punk energy with melody, grit, and vulnerability.

To support the album, FANGZ will head out on their most extensive Australian national headline tour to date; tickets are available now via fangz.band. The band have traversed the country multiple times, selling out headline shows, performing at festivals and sharing stages with the likes of FIDLAR (USA), Pennywise (USA), The Bronx (USA), Cancer Bats (CAN), RedHook, Comeback Kid (CAN), and He Is Legend (USA).

Last year, FANGZ completed an East Coast tour in 24 hours, launched their own hot sauce (Fang Us Some Sauce), and took their annually curated mini-festival FANGZstock on the road, expanding into Melbourne and Brisbane. Frontman Josh Cottreau also holds the Guinness World Record for the most hard-boiled eggs eaten in one sitting (143 eggs in three minutes and ten seconds).

FANGZ have also launched a range of exclusive ‘Shui’ merch bundles, with four different pack options available. Fans can snap up vinyl, shirts, hoodies, hats, stubby holders, patches—and even limited edition FANGZ yo-yos. All items are available now via fangz.band.

Since their 2019 inception, the band have released three EPs and a slew of singles, receiving strong support from triple j, triple j Unearthed, Triple M, Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Metal Hammer (UK), Loudwire (USA), Classic Rock (UK), Metal Injection (USA), Louder Sound (UK), NME, Rolling Stone Magazine, The Guardian, and many more.

‘Shui’ is the culmination of five years of mayhem, growth, and everything in between — a career-defining release from one of Australia’s most exciting punk bands.
