RedHook unleash new “pour-your-guts-out break-up anthem”, Tourist

Australian alt.rock quartet RedHook are already back with new music!

Following April’s 4/5-rated Postcard From A Living Hell debut, the band have today shared newbie Tourist, which singer Emmy Mack reveals is a “pour-your-guts-out break-up anthem” inspired by a quote from Parks & Rec icon Ron Swanson.

“I wrote the lyrics and top-line for Tourist in the middle of our tour with In Hearts Wake last year while going through a break-up of a two-year relationship,” Emmy says. “But it was more than just a break-up; it was a gruelling process of digging the shrapnel of two years’ worth of nuclear love bombing out of my heart and processing the shattering revelation that this person who had so aggressively and relentlessly professed to love me, and who had worked so hard to sell me on the dream of a happy future together, had been lying and cheating the entire time.

“So this is my Olivia Rodrigo moment, the pour-your-guts-out break-up anthem, the song I wrote for myself to stay strong, walk away, and not get lured back in by any more lies or emotional manipulations.”
