When Victoria’s genre-bending Yeah, Sick! first burst out of lockdown with their 2022 debut Set To Devour Us All!, they were a tongue-in-cheek experiment that snowballed into something far bigger. Now, with their new EP Your Herbs And Spices Won’t Save You Now!, the band have doubled down on their chaotic mix of hardcore punk energy and groove-metal swagger, sharpening both their sound and their sense of humour.
The new release captures everything that’s come to define Yeah, Sick!: brutal riffs, unpredictable turns, and an irreverent streak that keeps things as funny as they are furious. But beneath the chaos, there’s more control than ever — especially in Liam “Frosty” Frost-Camilleri’s vocals, which stretch further both emotionally and technically, showing range and restraint without losing the raw intensity fans expect.
This EP also marks the first release with Dazz Powell on bass, whose playful presence and love for the bizarre side of music have added a new spark to the band’s chemistry. “We leaned hard into the weirdness this time,” Dazz laughs. “It’s heavy, it’s ridiculous, and somehow it all makes sense.”
Meanwhile, Benito Martino’s drumming drives the EP with thunderous precision and creative flair, anchoring the chaos with grooves that hit as hard as the humour. His performance is as explosive as it is intricate, lifting every song into overdrive.
True to their DIY ethos, Yeah, Sick! recorded and produced the entire EP themselves, bringing in collaborator Gavin Sherri to handle the mixing and mastering. The result is raw, energetic, and unmistakably them — a perfect snapshot of a band having fun while pushing themselves musically.
Your Herbs And Spices Won’t Save You Now! proves that Yeah, Sick! are far more than a novelty act. They’re carving a unique space in Australia’s heavy scene — part satire, part sincerity, and all heart.
The EP drops on 23 November 2025, available on all major streaming services and Bandcamp.
