HUGERNAUT LOCK IN, LEVEL UP, AND LET IT RIP

Thursday February 26, 2026

Hugernaut return with Dream, a charged, guitar-driven release that captures the band at a creative tipping point — raw, confident, and fully locked into their identity as one of Australia’s most compelling modern indie rock acts.

Written as the trio’s first true group collaboration, the track marks the moment Hugernaut found their sound and decided to push it harder.

Formed in 2020 and based on an isolated property between Daylesford and Castlemaine, Hugernaut are proudly self-made. Writing, recording, and producing their own material through their Azziff Records imprint, the band channel classic alternative instincts through a contemporary lens, grounding everything in feel, momentum, and live-wire energy.

Dream opens with a jangling, garage-born guitar riff steeped in early Hoodoo Gurus swagger, before surging forward with bold vocals and a chorus built to hit hard and linger. Lyrically, the song leans into longing and fantasy — the desire to be in love, and the equally potent dream of that love being returned. It’s romantic without irony, direct without pretence.

 " Driven by fiery guitars, booming vocals, and an undeniable sense of release, Dream signals a powerful new chapter ahead of Hugernaut’s forthcoming album Circulator, due mid-2026."

Recorded at the band’s Asbestos Studio near Castlemaine, the track was designed to feel immediate and in-the-room. Mixing duties were handled by Oscar Dawson in London, with mastering by Jorden Power in Byron Bay, preserving the song’s raw edges while amplifying its punch.
