About

Trick Shot are an Australian ‘New Wave of Classic Rock’ band from Adelaide, South Australia who intertwine big 80's guitars & catchy melodies with a smile on their faces & a love for music.

They capture the triumph of the human spirit and wish the listener, if only for the moments they listen to their material, leave in a more positive head space than what they arrived at.

Word on the street

For us music critics journalists, some records should be placed on shelves as iconic artistic creations that involve heart, soul and feeling.

Regardless of the lyrical concept, or, impactful arrangements of a work, we always think and analyse the essence presented by an artist.

And in fact, what you created in your new album is something sublime and magical for us, you managed to reach us from intrinsic and true way“
