Getting Your Head Right With JIMMY CHRISTMAS From THE D4

Getting Your Head Right With JIMMY CHRISTMAS From THE D4

Interview by Kris Peters
The D4 are storming the East Coast — louder, wilder, and more combustible than ever! With the FIRST EVER VINYL pressing of sophomore album Out Of My Head dropping February 7, 2025, NZ’s finest punk n’ rollers will be hitting Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne in the company of some of Australia’s most beloved rockin’ outfits early 2025.
The D4 are running hot from a riotous, untamed tour across their spiritual stomping ground of Japan, and are now primed to explode back onto the Australian stage.
Rock'n'roll fans will be treated to their notorious and incendiary live show, replete with a reputation for amplifiers catching on fire and sweat dripping from the ceiling. Expect the powerhouse show to include the classics Rock'n'Roll Motherfucker, Sake Bomb, What I Want, Party, Come On!, Get Loose and Ladies Man amongst a high-octane set that will also include a slew of NEVER BEFORE HEARD MATERIAL!
HEAVY caught up with vocalist/guitarist Jimmy Christmas to find out more.
"There's a lot of memory and effort and energy that went into that record," he recalled of Out Of My Head, "so it's nice to be able to revisit it. I think… we had a lot of people clamouring for it to be on vinyl over the years and there just hadn't been a time when the stars aligned, but now it seems to make a lot of sense. I was pleased to pick up the records just today."
In the full interview, Jimmy expressed the band's excitement to come back to Australia for the first time in 20 years, what to expect from the shows, what has changed with The D4 in that period, the 20th anniversary of the album Out Of My Head, memories of making the album, if the songs have stood the test of time and more.
