Misfortune has a bit of dark comedy mixed in with reality. It’s certainly an intriguing topic, and even more fascinating one when it meets the punk rockers. The chemistry is already there before listening to the track, and Von Hazeler certainly wields their own share of misfortune and turns it into creative gold through their songs. “Trouble” is inspired by an unfortunate law encounter when smoking the devil’s leaves in public (in Australia).

The Australian band proudly brings back the heavy-hitting big sound of 90s’ grunge punk. Catchy, disobedient with the charm of troublemakers at heart is simply too good to be true, but Von Hazeler is just like that. They proudly tattooed “trouble” into their lyrics, holding their guitars and mics and embracing the storm of life as it wash through them. It’s a bit of comedy mixed with heroism meets their free spirits and unique personalities in that sense.

Sonically, “Trouble” is eclectic and optimistic. Lightning riffs uncap their loads of suffers’ charms. Bouncy bass and clashing drums feel like a storm on a sunny day that is ready to soak everyone when they’re least expected. Lead singer’s wicked vocal tone diverge into a semi maddening semi alluring style that makes you love and hate at the same time.

“Trouble” is a bit of trouble. It’s infectious and addictive so that you find yourself getting into trouble loving it, yet you can’t really stop. The real magic of this track seems to be the way it makes you feel and the way it challenges your current state — everything that a punk rock song should do. Von Hazeler is a name you won’t probably forget.
