These New South Wales Can’t Afford Shirts But They’re Rich With Self-Deprecating Humour

The Newcastle punks are releasing a mocku/rockumentary series that looks like Spinal Tap set in Surry Hills.

You don’t need us to tell you that the current musical climate hovers around bleak and overcast. But when a young emerging band can’t even afford shirts and instead have to share a roll of gaffer tape, you know things are especially tough.

These New South Whales may cover their nipples with adhesive but the Newcastle punks aren’t letting this get them down and today release a mocku/rockumentary series that follows the trials and tears that come with being a punk rock band in 2015.

The six-episode series, available on YouTube, follows the band from relatively unknown but cocky upstarts to cocky upstarts with a video camera.

Watch the trailer below and wince at the thought of that tape being ripped off.
