Last October gifted Skegss fans with Pacific Highway Music and today, Skegss return with a new EP, Top Heavy. Boasting tracks that mark a fresh sonic departure for the band, in recent singles ‘So Excited’ and ‘State of Hawaii’, even in comparison to the recent full-length record.
Lead singer Benny Reed says on the EP, “We made this in the spur of the moment kind of thing. A few of the songs kind of came out on the spot and we tried to capture it before brewing on them for too long. It was a very fun process.”
Currently on the road for their biggest ever Australian tour; spanning from the east coast to the west, and also featuring placement within the 2025 VIVID program; this nationwide run follows the band performing to their largest crowds yet at Laneway Festival earlier in the year. These dates come after their headline tours across North America, and Europe and UK which kicked off 2025.

Joining Skegss and fresh off the back of a UK/EU tour including sold out Glasgow, London and Paris shows; The Buoys are an all-woman rock band from Sydney, Australia, celebrated for their high energy performances and compelling songwriting. Emerging from the local DIY scene, they’ve swiftly become one of Australia’s most exciting and dynamic live acts. Named in triple j Unearthed’s Forecast: Ones To Watch, Fool Nelson are fresh off the back of their own sold out debut national headline tour.
Pacific Highway Music, the Byron Bay-bred band’s third full-length – and follow-up to their acclaimed sophomore album Rehearsal, which debuted at #1 on the ARIA Albums Chart, and led to their first-ever Coachella appearance and a sold-out U.S. tour – brings a newly heightened creative energy to every aspect of their explosive yet introspective form of rock. Centered on Reed’s frenetic and playful lyricism, Pacific Highway Music ultimately finds Skegss exploring the more complicated elements of the human experience with sincerity, soul, and unabashed joie de vivre.

Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
