RedHook release new song ‘Low Budget Horror’

REDHOOK have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Low Budget Horror, is the brand new single from the Sydney-based alternative-rock band and follows on from their last single, Sentimental Surgery, which was released in September last year.

The new song was produced by guitarist Craig Wilkinson, mixed by James Paul Wisner [STAND ATLANTIC, UNDEROATH] and mastered by Sam Guaiana [BETWEEN YOU & ME].

Speaking about the new song, vocalist Emmy Mack says, “writing Low Budget Horror was a necessary catharsis for me after a bit of a messed-up experience I had during Sydney’s 2021 COVID lockdown. A person I’d never met before reached out over social media to give me a heads up that someone else, a total stranger to me, had been (and there really isn’t a more delicate way to put this) viciously blogging her attempts at home-wrecking my relationship. Then, after being confronted with what she’d been doing, the bully backtracked & blamed her actions on her mental health.

I am so sick of people using mental health to justify hurting and harming others. It’s not. And this song is the sound of me processing all my thoughts & feelings around that situation – anger, shock, disgust, pity. Lyrically, Low Budget Horror is a metaphor for online bullies and the pain they try to inflict, casting their targets as victims in a gruesome public spectacle. But more often than not, it’s a pretty D-grade performance.”
