We’re just a bit over two weeks out from the new LP Growing Up Is Getting Old by Australia’s Nerdlinger. Now they’ve dropped a new single and video, “Moonshine / Bootlegs.” If you ever wondered what Australian country/folk is like, well.. I’m not sure if the intro to this song is it. Maybe? Sounds like regular country/folk (you know… American-style). Rest assured, like most Nerdlinger songs, the melodic punk kicks in and it kicks in real good. Come for the music, but do stay for the credits.
The album follows up their 2018 album Happy Place, and will be out on 28 Nov 2025, again via PEE Records. Preorders are available on Bandcamp (CD, digital DL, vinyl) and the PEE Records website. Hear more at Nerdlinger’s Spotify page).
