Short Stack are taking their third album on the road from December 2015 with the Homecoming Tour. With six national sell-out tours under their belt and bringing with them a stellar lineup of young local bands, these are going to be some serious gritty and high energy rock shows.

“I don’t think we’ve ever looked forward to doing a tour more,” says frontman Shaun Diviney. “It’s shaping up to be our biggest tour ever.”

Following on from iTunes #2 / Top 15 ARIA EP and single “Dance With Me” as well as most recent single ‘Amy’, Short Stack drop their third official studio album, the fittingly titled Homecoming on August 21.

Late 2014 saw Shaun Diviney, Andy Clemmensen and Bradie Webb relocate to London and connect with legendary UK producer Chris Kimsey, who has worked on – among much else – seminal Rolling Stones’ albums Sticky Fingers and Tattoo You. The result? A scintillating set of raw rock & roll, an album that distills all the experience the trio have absorbed over the past decade into the sort of album they would have killed to make as teenagers.

“We wrote this for about three years, and it’s the record that we’ve always wanted to make,” says Diviney. “It’s really raw, it’s really live, there’s not much production, and that means that when we play it live, it comes to life, translates.”

It’s a little hard to believe that it was a decade ago that three friends from Newcastle released 40 copies of a self-produced EP called One Size Fits All and kick-started a homegrown pop punk revolution that has transfixed Aussie music lovers ever since. Ten years on, Short Stack have had two Top Ten albums – including a Number One with Stack Is The New Black – three Top Ten singles, a breakup, and now, a hugely popular reformation – all by the age of 25.

“It’s really daunting for a band to go away and then come back,” admits Diviney. “You wonder whether anyone will care about the new material. But so far, the response has been amazing.”

There are really two options for a comeback record – try to recapture the past, or forge a new future. For Short Stack, there was never any doubt about which way to go. “We really wanted the record to sound very different to everything we’d done in the past,” states Diviney.
