The Sun Never Sets

The Herd

Politically charged Australian hip-hop driven by live instrumentation. Warm accordion melodies meet sharp social critiques and collective vocal energy.

It's like a protest rally held in a warm, dusty pub with a full band and an accordion.

A righteous and deeply felt exploration of national identity that balances anger with a profound sense of place.
