The Sunshine Coast indie-folk duo return with a new single, news of a second album, and a national tour on the way
Maclay Heriot
The Dreggs have announced their second album, The Art of Uncommon Practice.
The Sunshine Coast indie-folk duo – Paddy Macrae and Zane Harris – are marking the occasion with a brand new single, “Get Knocked Down”, an upbeat, guitar strummer co-written and co-produced with Matt Corby and Chris Collins (Royel Otis, The Rions).
“‘Get Knocked Down’ is all about the experiences of getting older,” Macrae shares. “Some embrace it with open arms, while others struggle with the concept of aging. It’s a song that touches on the internal conflict about the balance of feeling older while understanding that getting older doesn’t mean you are running out of time. It’s a song about reminding yourself that while reminiscing on past times may lead to feeling older, it’s also important to accept that there is still time to achieve your goals, whatever they may be.”

“Get Knocked Down” follows earlier singles “We Don’t Talk” and “Stay the Night”, all set to appear on The Art of Uncommon Practice, out Friday, July 25th.
To celebrate, The Dreggs are hitting the road for a national headline tour this July. They’ll be joined by Perth band South Summit and dreamy pop newcomer Holly Hebe, with shows lined up in Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney, and Brisbane. General tickets go on sale at 10am this Friday, May 2nd.
They’ll also be performing their first-ever triple j Like A Version this week.
2025 is already shaping up to be a huge year for The Dreggs. They’ve played slots at Party in the Paddock and Yours and Owls, with more festival stages in their sights. There are headline shows planned across the UK, Europe, Canada, and the US too.
Last year saw the band sell over 20,000 tickets across Australia and pack out headline shows across Europe and the UK. Their single “Give Myself to You” also went platinum.
The Dreggs’ “Get Knocked Down” is out now.
