AUSTRALIAN NU-METAL BAND, HEADWRECK, PARTNERS WITH GLOBAL INDEPENDENT LABEL, EMPIRE, AND SHARES NEW SINGLE “RAINDROPS”

Having earned a reputation as one of Australia’s most electrifying new acts, Headwreck already have their sights set on world domination. The Brisbane nu-metal outfit announce their partnership with global independent label EMPIRE – the first in their genre to join the roster, which has launched the careers of multi-platinum and award-winning artists including Kendrick Lamar, Anderson .Paak, Shaboozey, and many more. ‘Raindrops’ debuted on triple j Drive earlier this week to a buzzing textline, immediately addictive with its textured production, mixed vocal delivery and chunky, hard-hitting guitars and drum grooves. “The lyrics explore the feeling of not being able to be rid of someone who negatively impacts your life, but are still delivered in a fun way, true to the Attitude Adjustment style,” says the band.

Of their partnership, EMPIRE executives say: 

“Headwreck is one of those instinctive decisions—you hear it and just know. There’s a rawness and intensity to what they’re doing that feels both fresh and necessary right now. They’ve got the songs, the identity, and the ambition to break on a global level. We’re fired up to help share their vision with the world.” – Peter Kim, Director of A&R

“There’s something undeniably compelling about Headwreck – the immediacy of their sound, the clarity of their identity, and the genuine connection they’re building with fans. What really stands out is how intentional everything is – from their fully in-house creative to the chaotic energy of their live shows and the way they channel early 2000s heaviness into something far more expansive, at the intersection of metalcore, alternative and electronic-driven sounds. For EMPIRE, it’s about aligning with artists who are shaping culture in real time, and Headwreck are doing that in a way that feels both raw and authentic.” – Cameron Walsh, Australian Territory Manager
