Ahead of their headline Australian tour kicking off tomorrow night, New Zealand indie-rock favourites PARK RD have shared their first taste of new music for 2025, Antidote. The laid-back track is built around upbeat guitars combining with a singalong chorus and tight grooves.
Antidote follows on from recent single English Boy which was given a first play on triple j, and continues a rawer sound for their new material. Recorded and tracked live with producer Jol Mulholland (Neil & Liam Finn, Connan Mockasin), the track shows another step forward for PARK RD’s evolving sound. These are the first taste of new music from the band, following their 2024 debut album ‘The Novel’.
Alongside the new single, PARK RD kick off their headline Australian tour tomorrow night in Melbourne at The Workers Club, before heading to Brisbane, Wollongong and Sydney.
Over the past couple of years, PARK RD have supported The Rions across Australia, and undertaken headline tours in both NZ and Australia, performed at BIGSOUND and SXSW Sydney, and supported The Band CAMINO, Milky Chance and Spacey Jane in New Zealand. Earlier this year, they conducted a co-headline New Zealand tour with Foley as well as performing at multiple festivals.
