HOCKEY DAD

Artist 

What began as something to do while there was no surf has become so much more for Zach Stephenson and Billy Fleming. Since they began jamming in 2013 in their parents garage, they’ve got an EP, three full length albums and a live record under their belt and have headlined tours across Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Canada, the USA and UK as well as played main stage sets at some of the worlds biggest festivals. In the process, the duo have earned themselves gold and platinum records in Australia, two top 10 chart positions and a loyal set of fans that have sold out shows at some of music's most iconic venues. Their new album Rebuild Repeat is out now. 

Join us for an exclusive interview as Zach and Billy from Hockey Dad share the highs, lows, and insights from their journey in the music industry.
