“One of the country’s premier alt-rock outfits.” – Rolling Stone Australia
“LOSER continue to mine ’90s alt-rock for their second album ‘All the Rage’…maintaining degrees of confidence in both execution and identity.” – NME Australia
“Channelling the hard and fast, deliciously addictive hits of bands like Green Day and Blink-182, All The Rage is a powerful rock album with a distinct LOSER twist.” – Beat Magazine
“All The Rage is a rip-roaring good time. LOSER deserves a gold medal for this one.” – Hysteria
“Big gains from LOSER in 2021…this is muscular rock n roll for those that need a full on mosh to let off some steam.” – Triple J
“Bursting with the punk tenacity of Violent Soho alongside driving riffs built for moshing and mid-song melodic breakdowns ideal to hug your moshing mates.” – Scenestr

More about ‘ALL THE RAGE’
Following their 2020 Australian Music Prize-nominated effort Mindless Joy, All The Rage is the sophomore full-length effort from Melbourne rock outfit LOSER. The record offers a powerfully honest and emotive distillation of who LOSER are at their collective core, especially so for singer-shredder Tim Maxwell. While in the past he would hide behind metaphor to expound on his inner turmoils, this album marks a daring leap forward into a new world of soul-baring songwriting.
It all came to a head when Tim was tracking vocals for the album’s lead single, ‘On The Edge’ and suffered a breakdown in the studio. The resulting record is one that doubles as a lifeline for Tim, the band and those struggling to find their own mental stability mid-pandemic.
LOSER’s broader pandemic experience involved the launch of their own Restless Noise Studios, after band-and-real-life-brothers Tim and Will took to their parents’ garage to build the space the band would self-record All The Rage in during lockdown.
Combining threads of other favourites like Oasis, Wheezer, blink-182 and Smashing Pumpkins, All The Rage draws on the band’s penchant for nostalgic rock, pummelling riffs and larger-than-life solos. All underpinned by a distinctive LOSER twist, it’s set to be remembered as essential Melbourne-rock listening in years to come.
All The Rage is out now via Domestic La La. The record was produced by Tim Maxwell & Craig Selak, mixed by Anton Hagop (Silverchair, Powderfinger), mastered by Matt Gray & drum recording by Sam Johnson.
