Hockey Dad - Brain Candy

Brain Candy is the third studio album by Australian surf rock duo Hockey Dad, released in July 2020 via Farmer & The Owl and BMG.

friends since age 4. Living two doors down on Boronia Street in the small Australian coastal town of Windang, it was around 13 when they discovered Zach's Dad's old gear in his garage and by 18, they were touring Australia under the name Hockey Dad, which was gleaned from a Simpsons episode.

Hockey Dad’s story is simple: best mates first, band second, and their music flows from their surroundings: sunny and jangly guitar driven rock complete with anthemic choruses.

Off the back of touring across the USA and Canada, then returning home just in time for Laneway Festival, Hockey Dad released a new single “Itch”. This follows the duo’s “I Missed Out” which scored a casual #60 in 2020's Hottest 100 only weeks after being released.

Hockey Dad’s highly anticipated third studio album, Brain Candy, features both the singles “Itch” and “I Missed Out”.

The thirteen-track album was produced, engineered and mixed by John Goodmanson at Robert Lang Studios (Bikini Kill, Blonde Redhead, Death Cab for Cutie, Los Campesinos) and was mastered by Troy Glessner (Alice in Chains, The Blood Brothers, Foo Fighters).

This album is a limited indies record store edition on yellow coloured vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve, pressed in Australia via Farmer & The Owl.
