EP 274 Gopher's Tunnel Buddies an album 250 years in the making

This week on Heavy Metal Tones Episode 274, we go fully subterranean with Aussie riff burrowers Gopher and their debut album Tunnel Buddies.Legend has it the band was founded by two historically questionable heroes, Ned Smelly and Ernie Bingo, after a very long boat trip with the First Fleet. While the rest of the passengers were busy inventing Australia, these two were apparently below deck inventing fuzz tone and arguing about snacks. History may not confirm this… but the riffs absolutely do.This album digs deep into groove, chaos, and pure backyard-mosh energy. It’s loud, it’s ridiculous, and it sounds like someone plugged a distortion pedal into a shovel and said, “Yeah, that’ll do.”I’ll also be spinning two standout singles from the record: the gloriously deranged Kupa- Kupa Mamam and the sky-high party anthem The Party In The Sky. Because even tunnel dwellers need a rooftop celebration.Grab your hard hat and a cold one — this week we’re going underground, and the party started in 1788.Kupa - Kupa Malamhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRoLgTPcXd0The Party In The Sky https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnHYs6yNszgMerch baby Merch https://gopherit.bandcamp.com/merchSign up at Patreon.com/heavymetaltones to help support the show for just $2 a month this will help keep the lights on and the mic humming Hosted on Acast.
