FANGZ - Announce Debut Album 'Shui' And National Tour, Reveal Blistering Single 'Anne Marie'

Eora/Sydney punk rockers FANGZ have announced their debut album 'Shui', out Friday, July 4 via Impressed Recordings, alongside their biggest national headline tour yet. The news lands with their explosive new single 'Anne Marie', produced by Tim Maxwell (LOSER) and mixed by Jonathan Gardner (Front End Loader, Grinspoon).

'Anne-Marie' unfurls with razor-sharp punk riffage, pounding rhythms, and Josh Cottreau's searing belts, setting the tone for the track's unrelenting ferocity. Chant-along choruses erupt into an explosive bridge, unleashing a tidal wave of distorted guitars, double-timed drums and an exuberant solo cranking it up to eleven.

Josh Cottreau touches on the meaning of the track:

"'Anne Marie' is a heartfelt tribute to my sister, Leigh-Anne Marie — a constant source of strength, support, and unconditional love. The song reflects on moments of struggle, gratitude, and personal growth, honouring the one person who never gave up, even when times were hardest. It's a message of appreciation for her unwavering belief and a reminder to keep going and never stop doing what you love."

FANGZ's latest national headline tour includes stops in Meanjin/Brisbane, Tarndayna/Adelaide, Boorloo/Perth, Naarm/Melbourne, Eora/Sydney, Ngunnawal/Canberra, Dharawal/Wollongong, Mulubinba/Newcastle, Yugambeh/Gold Coast and Gubbi Gubbi/Caloundra; tickets are available via fangz.band. This follows on from a busy 2025 launching the Melbourne and Brisbane contingents of FANGZstock and packing out the global premiere of 'Shui', presented by Great Southern Nights, at Trocadero Room, Eora/Sydney.

The band have traversed the country multiple times, selling out headline shows, performing at festivals and sharing stages with the likes of FIDLAR (USA), Pennywise (USA), The Bronx (USA), Cancer Bats (CAN), RedHook, Comeback Kid (CAN) and He Is Legend (USA).

Last year, FANGZ completed an East Coast tour in 24 hours, an annually curated festival 'FANGZstock', launched their own hot sauce 'Fang us Some Sauce', and hold the Guinness world record for the most hard-boiled eggs eaten in one sitting by front man Josh Cottreau (143 eggs in three minutes and ten seconds).

Since their 2019 inception, FANGZ have released three EP's 'For Nothing' (2019), 'But No Thanks' (2020), 'Falling Is Pretty Normal' (2022), and a slew of singles, which received strong support from the likes of triple j, triple j Unearthed, Triple M, Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Metal Hammer (UK), Loudwire (USA), Classic Rock (UK), Metal Injection (USA), Louder Sound (UK), NME, Rolling Stone Magazine, The Guardian, and many more.

Coming into 2025, the group has released singles 'Wasting Time', 'Nothing To Lose', 'Same Old Story' and 'Wide Awake' from their forthcoming debut album. The releases were warmly embraced by Spotify, Apple Music, triple j and numerous community radio stations, and blogs.
