OFF! …are very much on! After 10 years passed, they are bringing their latest album, ‘Free LSD’ to Australia this January 2024. The time has come to witness the contorted visitation of punk psyche power – Los Angeles hardcore wonders OFF! kaleido-scrape through the interstellar hemisphere. Switch this on!
And joining this cavalcade with their own eccentricity of explosive pervasions comes Sydney’s highly apt PARTY DOZEN!
Also along for this transcendent glide of power will be the big riffin’ suburban punk of Whadjuk country LAST QUOKKA; a world of fragments and discord in Kaurana (Adelaide) with DIVISION; the ferocious femme/queer power of Naarm’s (Melbourne) blistering R.U.B.; the catchy melodic simplicity of Gadigal (Sydney) HELLEBORES; the powerful whipping crack of Meanjin (Brisbane) nerd pop-punk MITCH, PLEASE; and the socially conscious inclusivity of Bundjalung country MASOCHIST on the Gold Coast.
“And then OFF! go off! Keith exudes such kinetic energy that it’s always a surprise not to see him bouncing off the walls. Instead, he fizzes with barely contained electrical charges of momentum that power his music. As a counterbalance, when he’s not conjuring feedback, Dimitri stalks the stage like the bastard son of Thurston Moore and Keith Richards, all slashing chords and strut.” – Punk News
Punk rock phenomena Keith Morris (Black Flag, Circle Jerks), Dimitri Coats (Burning Brides), Mario Rubalcaba (Hot Snakes/Rocket From The Crypt) and Autry Fulbright II (And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead) – strike all stages asunder as they kill to be heard.

‘FREE LSD’ is out now on Fat Possum and available on all digital platforms here
‘FREE LSD’, OFF!’s first new album in eight years translates the work of an alien race attempting to rebuild the remains of your destroyed record collection. ‘Free LSD’ hits reset like The Beatles conjuring ‘Revolver’, The Walker Brothers ‘Nite Flights’ refusal to be a reunion record, or that album by Baby Huey where every influence merges so effortlessly that it is simply one sound unified. Like the first 3 records, the raging two-minute bonfires that make up ‘Free LSD’ were written by the core of the band, Keith Morris & Dimitri Coats.
The album introduces new members, drummer Justin Brown (Thundercat, Flying Lotus, Herbie Hancock) and bassist Autry Fulbright II (…And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead), who push the idea of punk into another dimension. Coats blankets a number of these tracks with layers of electronics and Morris sounds timeless.
OFF! have never sounded better. BETTER.
