Hockey Dad: Late Summer Jams from Down Under

Soundcheck | Sep 8, 2016

The band Hockey Dad hails from one of the better place names: Windang, Australia. And they’ve released... a “dang winner” of an album this year. (Sorry, couldn't help ourselves.) It’s called Boronia and it’s filled with chunky summer jams of an impeccable quality. The band gives away its winning recipe on the song "I Need a Woman" when they suggest, “give it some mellow vibes; try not to make it dull.” Hear the duo talk about their burgeoning career and play some of their catchy, immediate-sounding tunes.
