Shady Nasty

Shady Nasty subvert expectations. In a world bound by modded cars, immigrant heritage and digital obsessions, Kevin Stathis, Haydn Green and Luca Watson craft a left-field breed of punk that pushes their formal training in jazz and classical music to its most uncustomary extremes. Marked by a distinctive harbour-city twang, TREK — their long-awaited debut album (produced by Kim Moyes of The Presets) — grapples with the less-than-glamorous hard graft of staying afloat while remaining creatively uncompromised in Sydney. No matter the venue, no matter the bill, devout adherents clamber to propel a heaving mosh.
