Hellcat Speedracer Team with DZ Deathrays for New Single ‘Daybreak’
The song’s release comes as the lad’s are in the midst of their Australian tour.
Brisbane ratbags Hellcat Speedracer have teamed with good friends DZ Deathrays for the release of the ripping new tune, ‘Daybreak’.
Taken from the duo’s upcoming EP, ‘Daybreak’ is dance rock of the highest order, recalling the electro-punk shenanigans of British acts Hadouken! and Does It Offend You, Yeah?
“With its angry chant, we are pleading for the party to never end, and we want all our friends along for the ride,” Hellcat Speedracer said in a statement via Tone Deaf.
“We want this song to be an infectious war cry that rekindles the fire beneath the party, that sets alight to the dance floor. ‘Daybreak’ demonstrates a no person left behind energy. With the cross blending of genres, we want this to highlight that a Hellcat Speedracer party is for everyone.”
Shane from DZ Deathrays added: “I’m so keen to have this track see the light of day. It’s hard-out, electronic punk, a very fun song to make and we actually went through quite a few versions until we landed on the right vibe for the song. I feel like it’s hectic in the best way possible and looking forward to seeing if the boys do an extended mix!”
