Band Page: https://sonicreducer.ffm.to/instagram

Sonic Reducer is a four-piece punk band from Canberra, Australia, that formed in 2022. Their music is described as powerful and cathartic, and they aim to challenge anti-lad culture and toxic masculinity within the punk scene. They are known for their intense live performances and have supported Australian punk heavyweights like Cosmic Psychos and Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers.Their song "Needles" is a track that they have been playing live, as seen in recent setlists. The lyrics of "Needles" describe young punks who are obsessed with needles, trying to emulate Johnny Rotten/Lydon while still listening to The Beatles, and engaging in typical rock and roll behaviour like falling in and out of cars and stumbling into bars, ultimately ending up with numb minds.
