Gerringong-based indie-rock upstarts The Terrys have just announced an 11-item national Billabong Australia collaboration alongside their last release for 2024, Ziggy’s Mine – produced by and mixed by Tasker (3%, Chillint, Tia Gostelow).
The 11-item Billabong Australia collection will be available online and in-store at the majority of Australian outlets – SHOP NOW. This collaborative relationship includes the Ziggy’s Mine accompanying music video – shot and directed by Sam Brumby (King Stingray, Julia Jacklin, The Rubens). The clip shows The Terrys being their charming selves with the beautiful Gerringong backdrop, doing what they love best: playing music together.
Ziggy’s Mine is a carefree exemplar of vibrant indie-pop, mixing balmy acoustic guitar with lead singer Jacob “Finchie” Finch‘s endearing spoken word vocals. The track opens into breezy choruses that feel contemplative yet jovial, creating the perfect accompaniment for Australian summer afternoons.
The band talk about how Ziggy’s Mine came together: “We were chillin’ at the pub after a long day of recording music when we started watching the digital dogs on the screens, and one of those dogs was called ‘Ziggys mine’. We all bet the house on Ziggy because that’s the name of Finchy’s dog. Sure enough, Ziggy took the win which caused a strike of inspiration. So, we headed back to the studio and Ziggy’s Mine was created. The vibes were at an all-time high, and in record time, the song was made in under two hours.”
The band will perform two shows with mates BOO SEEKA at Guruk/Port Macquarie’s Finnian’s Tavern and Garlambirla/Coffs Harbour’s The Hoey Moey before playing Chasing Tides in Kiarama/Kiama. The band will see out 2024 with performances at Beyond The Valley and Hay Park leading into New Year’s Eve. This continues on from selling out shows across Australia, the UK, EU & NZ and playing Australian mainstays Spaced Out Festival, Yours & Owls, NYE On The Hill, Rolling Sets and Festival Of The Sun.
The last year has seen the band go from strength to strength, with their sophomore album ‘Skate Pop’ debuting at #2 on ARIA’s Album Chart and landing a coveted triple j Feature Album spot. The singles also appeared at #93 (No Bad Days), #103 (Hopscotch) and #181 (Silent Disco) in triple j’s Hottest 100/200 (2023). Their first record ‘True Colour’ also debuted at #3 on the ARIA Album Chart.
The Terrys’ true north has always been this: stay positive, take it one day at a time and look towards the horizon with a smile and, ideally, beer in hand.
Ziggy’s Mine will be released on Friday, November 15 – PRE-SAVE HERE
