About Us
Known for playing high energy shows with sounds of 60s surf pop, blues and spaghetti western, 2021 has seen Brisbane surf rock band Hugo Stranger & The Rattlers release their debut album Against The Tide. Their influences include The Beatles, Beach Boys, early Tarantino Soundtracks and film scores. 

During a year’s journey across North America in 2016, front man and rhythm guitarist Tom Harrison wrote the bass line for the song Dark Places and immediately knew he had found the sound he wanted. He swiftly wrote and bedroom-recorded a solo six track ep under the guise of Hugo Stranger. Upon his return to Brisbane, Australia a finely written ad was posted to Gumtree marketplace and was swiftly responded to by lead guitarist Thomas Atkin, bassist Ben Lane, and Kyle Zenchyson on drums.

After a series of rehearsals and blood oaths a band was formed, however the moniker ‘Hugo Stranger’ was for a solo project. So taking a page from the bands that inspired him like Dick Dale and his Del Tones, Link Wray & The Wray Men, he added on the band tag ‘The Rattlers’.  2021 has seen them release their debut album 'Against The Tide' featuring their single 'By Your Side' that reached #19 in 4zzz hottest 100.
What We Bring
We bring a high energy performance with upbeat danceable songs that harken back to a familiar 60's sound of retro pop and rock. There is a familiar retro dynamic that makes our music recognisable and easy to dance along to.

Good Call Live, ‘Hold On’ Single Review
"From tunes with a modern Beach Boys twist, to garage rock and Spaghetti Western inspired originals, the 11 track album [Against The Tide] is a great introduction as to who Hugo Stranger & The Rattlers are."
