"One of the most exciting bands to come out of Australia’s indie-rock scene in years."Rolling Stone
"One of the most exciting up and coming WA bands to be watching." Claire Mooney – triple j
Hot on the heels of a cross-country run with Skegss, and their very own sold-out-debut-national-tour, WA-based indie rock trio Fool Nelson have just kicked the door down with their punchiest release yet, 'Big Shot'. Alongside the release is the announcement of their third EP, 'Bad Dreams' and their biggest national headline tour to date, with their Boorloo/Perth all-ages show selling out within 48 hours.
Through blistering riffs, heart-on-sleeve lyricism and rollicking choruses, 'Big Shot' cements Fool Nelson's place as one of Australia's most exciting young bands. It's urgent, melodic, and unapologetically big-hearted - a rallying cry to cut through the noise, drop the ego and hold onto what truly matters. Produced and mixed by Andy Lawson (The Buoys, Death by Denim), mastered by George Georgiadis (Ruby Fields, Hockey Dad).
"'Big Shot' was written as a reminder for us to remember what's actually important," the band shares. "It's about ego getting the best of us, and making it feel like we can do everything on our own. The song talks about how important the people around us are in helping to stay grounded and reminding us of what matters."
Appropriately noted as 'Ones To Watch' by triple j and selected as the Unearthed Competition Winner for Busselton's One Night Stand (the only ever act to win an Unearthed Competition, twice) they have Rolling Sets Festival on the horizon, and look back at impressive sets at HYPER FEST, NYE On The Hill, Out & About Festival, Groovin the Moo Festival, Tone City Records Festival, plus impressed on support-act duties for Spacey Jane, Old Mervs, Ball Park Music, The Grogans and The Rions.
Fool Nelson's latest single 'Bad Dreams' hit top 5 most played song on triple j, lit up Shazam Charts, and previous release 'Don't Feel Right', climbed Shazam Charts in Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne, and was the most played song on triple j for multiple weeks. Their past 5 singles have all been added to rotation on triple j, widely embraced by Australian radio, they were cover stars of 'Rock Out.' on Spotify and added to countless Apple Music and Spotify playlists across the globe.
'Big Shot' is available worldwide now. 'Bad Dreams' (EP) will be available worldwide Friday, October 17th.
