Big Scout’s Push Up tears through the bullshit with a razor-sharp punk ferocity, slamming New Zealand’s toxic “harden up” mantra into the ground. Frontman Gregg Slatter’s guitar punches like a brawl in a back alley, punctuated by snarling feedback and an unapologetically raw vocal delivery. The rhythm section—Jim Tannock (bass) and Matt Hellriegel (drums)—delivers a relentless, bone-rattling backbone that drives this anthem of defiance and bottled rage. Recorded by Trevor Montgomery and stripped bare by Harry Lilley,
Push Up is pure venom, brimming with unfiltered emotion and a final battle cry: “I don’t wanna talk about it. But I don’t wanna die.”
