Hercules & The Bricks

Through storm and angst Melbourne’s most miserable rock ’n’ roll band Hercules & the Brick finally hit the internet in 2026 with their misanthropic, country-tinged brand of power-pop. ‘I Want To Die’ & ‘Why? Heaven Knows’, released in the Autumn and Winter respectively, sees the eponymous Hercules bemoaning existence in call-and-response with his small army of female backing singers and accompaniment from a band of pickers and players to rival The Wrecking Crew.
