Based in Sydney, Australia and lead by the iconic Kel Mason, this band of maniacal rock n roll miscreants has been blowing drooly-punk minds for the past few years with a rash of out-of-print records and ridiculous videos that have bounced around the proper channels of the internet underbelly. A white hot set on the web-only Gonerfest 17 was greeted with cheers of joy, and ultimately re-issued as a cassette and LP. They made it over in full three-dimensional form for Gonerfest 19 and a completely unhinged US tour in 2022. Now Goner is proud to unleash their new album -- Goodnight Neanderthal -- ten blasts of the spazzy lo-fi attack you know and love, full of buzzy guitars, cheap synths and earworm hooks that demand to be sung in the shower. Or in your car. Or on your bike. Gee Tee rules. Get on board or get out of the way. Goodnight Neanderthal is now available for pre-order on Urge Records (Australia) and Goner Records (US).

On his second album, the Sydney punk fleshes out his filthy bubblegum scuzz with riffs, jokes, the requisite car song, and even a few unexpectedly vulnerable moments.
