DZ Deathrays share ‘Pissing In The Breeze’ ahead of Easing Out Of Control LP on Jan 16
PRAISE FOR DZ Deathrays
“Bloodstreams, Black Rat”
“Bloodstreams, Black Rat, Bloody Lovely”
“Positive Rising: Pt 1”
“More than worth going deaf to”
“Brilliant videos and songs and a great sense of humour and style”
“tapping back into the colourful, nigh-on hedonistic experimentalism of their early work... while amping up the shred to reach a level of raw, primal punk energy only hinted at on previous efforts. The title stands for 'Remember It's For Fun', and here DZ Deathrays wholeheartedly embody that ethos”
“Moody Aussie noisemakers DZ Deathrays bring the concept album back to life. Again..”
“The world may be a mess, but there's still fun to be had, and DZ Deathrays deliver it in spades. A tactile and vivacious undertaking that makes you think while lashing you with oscillating punk and more modern textures, R.I.F.F is modern rock cooked to perfection”
“They speak to my soul. It just feels good listening to their music”
“It's built on the intuitive interplay between Parsons and Ewbank, whose heavily textured playing doesn't always sound like guitars — more like a twin malevolent force that every so often waxes celestial, like sunlight spearing through storm clouds”

‘Pissing In The Breeze‘ by DZ Deathrays is out now, buy/stream it here.
DZ Deathrays continue to hone into their upcoming album Easing Out Of Control with their latest single, ‘Pissing In The Breeze’. Early next year the group will tour across Australia kicking off on release day, Jan 16. LISTEN HERE + PRE-SAVE LP HERE + BUY TICKETS HERE.
Of ‘Pissing In The Breeze’, Shane Parsons shares, “This song was one of the first songs we wrote towards this project. It’s a robotic, punchy, fast driven song that borrows electronic elements with glitchy loops propelling it forward the entire way through. Lyrically this track is all about the destruction of the planet and the failed attempts and backwards steps we take as humanity to try to correct the issues. It was a song that originally stayed really static and we added the bridge chord progression to open up the song and while jamming with Luke Henery (Bass) he came up with the monster ending.”
Due out January 16, Easing Out Of Control was recorded across two sessions, with additional work completed in the band’s home studios. Longtime collaborator Luke Henery (Violent Soho) contributes bass on several tracks. Originally imagined as two separate EPs, the album gradually evolved into a cohesive whole—one that explores new territory without shedding the band’s core identity. There’s still plenty of chaos, but it’s balanced by restraint, texture, and an expanding emotional register.
DZ Deathrays remain one of Australia’s most consistently shape-shifting rock acts. Since their 2012 debut Bloodstreams, the band have sidestepped stagnation with each release—from the riff-driven scale of Positive Rising to the unpredictability of 2023’s R.I.F.F.. Along the way, they’ve shared stages with Foo Fighters, headlined venues like The Tivoli and The Enmore, and carved out a firm place in the national psyche, with multiple entries in triple j’s Hottest 100.
Reflective of DZ’s everlasting craft, Easing Out Of Control is a letter to the future. Lifting off from their last album R.I.F.F.’s mantra to ‘remember it’s for fun’, DZ Deathrays’ latest is dedicated to taking on the challenges of life and going with the chaos. That sometimes, you need to stare into the distance to have clarity. Featuring their singular and ever-present jam style, Easing Out Of Control battles existentialism through the comfort of the unknown. With bouts of nostalgia to discussion on autonomy, surveillance and environmentalism, what drives DZ to continue pushing forward is the challenge of enhancing their creative abilities.
To mark the release of Easing Out of Control, DZ Deathrays will head out on a national tour across January and February 2026. Known for their sharp, high-impact live shows, the tour will see them translate the album’s expanded sound to stages around the country.
