If your playlists still swing between basement punk, Midwest emo and bands that sound like they recorded their first EP in a share house, next month’s Prince Daddy & The Hyena and Macseal run just got even stronger.
The New York acts have officially revealed the local support line-up for their upcoming Australian co-headline tour, bringing a mix of emo, indie, shoegaze and alternative names into the fold across eight dates nationally.
Kicking off in Brisbane before moving through Newcastle, Sydney, Wollongong, Melbourne, Belgrave, Adelaide and Perth, the run now feels less like an international package tour and more like a snapshot of where alternative guitar music sits right now.
Joining selected dates are Talk Heavy, Trophy Wyfe, Amends, Paint, Townhouse and About Yesterday, while Australian folk-rock artist Suzi will appear across every stop except Perth.

Do It Yourself energy
For Prince Daddy & The Hyena, the timing lines up with the release of their fourth album Hotwire Trip Switch, marking a return to Counter Intuitive Records and continuing the band’s shift toward sharper songwriting without abandoning the messy DIY energy that built their following in the first place.
Produced alongside Joe Reinhardt, known for work with Joyce Manor and Modern Baseball, the record keeps the chaos intact while pushing deeper into melody.
Alongside them, Long Island’s Macseal arrive off the back of Permanent Repeat, a record that expands their blend of emo, indie rock and early 2000s power-pop into something bigger and more reflective.
Between the two bands, expect a setlist built for people who still care deeply about guitar pedals, emotional damage and singing along like nobody’s filming.
