Hoodlum Shouts is a band that bridges calculated awareness and concrete simplicity, determined to create an identity befitting its Australian bloodlines. Budding from several bands within the nation’s capital - namely Epic Flagon, Mightyfew and Red Menace - Hoodlum Shouts consolidate instrumental, punk and post-rock pasts. The result mixes a tendency to brood with sustained urgency, in the genuine search for idyllic melody. The band recorded their debut six-track EP with Russell Pilling in May '09.
