about

Godzilla 1954 is part warning/part reflection on the unwelcome rise of white nationalism in Australia and how, due to generations of dog whistling and fear mongering from those at the top, we now find ourselves up against a beast of our own creation. It is about how those bleating on about their views being “censored” or “too controversial for the mainstream” always seem to be doing from a nightly national television program or morning slot on commercial radio. And it’s about who we can(not) rely on to slay the monster. This story (like all others) is best told through fast 1990s inspired Australian garage rock, big group vocals and a little bit of yelling.
