FATHER DEER HAND PERFORM A 'FACTORY RESET' WITH NEW SINGLE & VIDEO

Father Deer Hands are performing a 'Factory Reset' with their brand new single and video. The outfit from Sydney return today with the news that the new track 'Factory Reset' will be released on Thursday April 29th - and can be pre-saved here

Vocalist Matthew Betmalik says that Factory Reset is "...a song about something I've come quite familiar with over the course of my life, which is losing. My whole life I've tried to hold onto things that are fleeting, and every time they went away I'd always blame myself. I still hate myself for the way I've let people treat me and everything I've lost along the way, but I've come to realise that nothing lasts forever. Life comes in unpredictable waves, one minute you're on top and the next you're drowning, either you can wipe out every time or learn to ride with it."

The clip documents a Robot's terrible day as things go south for him at every turn, finally hitting the Factory Reset button on his chest to forget all the bad things.

The clip and new song comes as the band gears up to play a show in memory of Jack Sheppard at The Lansdowne in Sydney on April 28th. Tickets now available. Diamond Dogs music lounge, Dapto on May 1st & a headline show at Burdekin Hotel, Sydney on the 22nd of May in celebration of the release of Factory Reset.

Factory Reset was written by Father Deer Hands and recorded, mixed, mastered by Clayton Segelov & Angie Watson at The Brain Recording Studios and the accompanying video was directed, filmed, and edited by Amy McIntosh of AyeMehMac Photography!

Hailing from the suburbs of Sydney, Father Deer Hands are a quintessentially Australian Melodic/Punk Hardcore outfit of loud technical guitars, huge drums, percussive and sludgy bass lines and dynamic vocals. A band of friends who want to go against the grain of standard heavier roots in music with a love of all styles of music and a desire to express that in their own way. Any way you look at Father Deer Hands, they are a breath of fresh air in the Australian Music Industry.

Father Deer Hands are: Wade Garnett - Guitar, James Garnett - Drums, Matt Betmalik - Vocals & Tyson Ryan - Bass.
