HTRK

A trio formed in 2003, HTRK (hate rock) featured an original line-up of vocalist Jonnie Standish, bassist Sean Stewart and guitarist Nigel Yang. Their early shows caught the attention of legendary guitarist Rowland S. Howard, who went on to produce their debut Marry Me Tonight (blastfirstpetite).

In 2006, the band relocated to Europe, toured widely with Liars, and signed to Ghostly International. After Stewart’s tragic suicide in 2010, Standish and Yang continued as a duo, releasing the intense, texture-laden Work (work, work) in 2011. Returning to Australia in 2012, they then decamped to the deserts of New Mexico with Nathan Corbin (Zebrablood) to produce their third album Psychic 9-5 Club, released in 2014 – a dub-wise meditation upon altered states and “inner peace” that struck deep with fans and critics the world over.

The band returned in 2019 with two releases: the guitar-driven Venus in Leo and the ambient soundtrack Over the Rainbow (Boomkat Editions).
