Punk music has a rich tradition of challenging the status quo and criticising social injustices. So it’s great to see Super Best Friends taking up the baton with their latest single “Dog Whistling,” a scathing attack on xenophobia and the government’s “Stop the Boats” campaign. The vocals are more than a little rough, but the lyrics cut through.
“Dog Whistling” comes from Super Best Friends’ debut album Status Updates, which will hit stores on March 20. The band will support its release with the following local shows.
