Melbourne’s HEAVENSGATE have released “SHEMOVESLIKETHUNDER.” The new music video follows close to the heels of last month’s debut “CHEMICAL HEAVEN.”
Vocalist Nazareth Tharratt explains the backstory to the brutal single:
“the experience of suffering through drug addiction and self-destructive habits as a coping mechanism, whilst also having a lover in a fragile state who desperately looks to you for support, comfort and stability whilst they struggle through their own mental health issues. The lyrics are a personal acknowledgment of faults and regrets, poured into an open letter.”
Bad Dad (occasionally called Ed) has been on the periphery of the punk and punk-adjacent scene for over twenty years. While many contributors to this site have musical experience and talent, Ed’s musical claim to fame comes from his time in arguably the most punk rock Blockbuster Video district in NJ where he worked alongside members of Blanks 77, Best Hit TV and Brian Fallon. He is more than just an awful father to his 2 daughters, he is also a dreadful husband, a subpar writer, a terrible dresser and has a severe deficiency in all things talent… but hey, at least he’s self-aware, amirite?
