Hockey Dad is an Australian surf rock band from Windang, New South Wales. The duo consists of drummer Billy Fleming and vocalist and guitarist Zach Stephenson. Since 2013, they have released one EP– Dreamin' (2014), and three studio albums– most recently, Brain Candy (2020), which peaked at number two on the ARIA Albums Chart. They will release their fourth studio album, Rebuild Repeat, on 14 June 2024.

History

Both growing up on the same street in Windang, New South Wales, Zach Stephenson and Billy Fleming met in 1999 at ages three and four while playing football on the street. While in high school, they played in a band called Abstract Classic, before forming Hockey Dad in 2013. The name of the band derives from a video game shown in a 2003 episode of The Simpsons called "The Regina Monologues".

After releasing their debut extended play (EP), Dreamin', in June 2014, the duo signed with independent Wollongong label Farmer & the Owl later that year.

Musical style and influences

Hockey Dad credits the era of 1960s garage as their main influence. The duo also credits their musical inspiration to bands such as Bass Drum of Death, Sparkadia and Band of Horses. Growing up, Fleming quotes that listening to his brother's collection of '90s punk music helped develop his musical style. On the contrary, Stephenson indulged heavily into his father's 1980s Australian punk and rock musical selection.
