Music News - The D4 Announce New Single 'Judgement Day'
18 December 2024 - 0 Comments
Louder, wilder, and more combustible than ever, NZ’s finest punk n’ rollers, The D4, announced they will be hitting home shores this coming February / March. They will be celebrating the first ever vinyl pressing of sophomore album Out Of My Head dropping February 7, 2025 via Warner Music.
The D4 add some rocket fuel to that fire by unveiling a never-heard-before track, Judgement Day.
Guitarist, Dion Lunadon says, “Judgement Day is hyped-up little rocker we wrote and recorded in 2003. Engineered and mixed ourselves, live to tape at Arch Hill Studio. Judgement Day was part of a bunch of songs that never made it to our 2nd album, Out Of My Head. A song that should have perhaps made the cut! Here it is, Judgement Day, part of the 20th Anniversary Edition (iTunes/Spotify etc.) of Out Of My Head. More never heard before tracks to follow…”
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 local stage. With appearances at Kickdown Festival, opening for Shihad on their final tour, a mighty double header with notorious stench rockers Head Like A Hole, and headline shows at favourite haunts.
Rock 'n' roll fans will be treated to their notorious and incendiary live performances, 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 include a slew of never before heard material!
This is your chance to see the band LIVE. A full force, sonic assault!!!

Between 1998-2006, The D4 took on the world and their run sheet is impressive. They toured relentlessly playing clubs and festivals in the US, UK, Japan, Europe, Australia and New Zealand - these included, SXSW, Glastonbury, Reading, Leeds, Fuji Rock, Pukkelpop and The Big Day Out. On the strength of their live shows and the reception of the recorded material, The D4 were lauded by stalwarts of the scene past and present and invited to play and tour alongside legacy heroes and contemporary upstarts including: The New York Dolls, Radio Birdman, Bored!, Powdermonkeys, the Dictators, Bo Diddley, the Pretty Things, Iggy and the Stooges, Guitar Wolf, and The Hives.
“One of the greatest Kiwi live bands...” Graham Reid, Elsewhere.
John Peel invited the band to record a Peel Live session that aired on his legendary BBC Radio 1 show and they performed live on late night US TV shows, David Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel, Craig Kilborn and Last Call with Carson Daly.
The D4 was assembled by vocalist/guitarists Dion Lunadon and Jimmy Christmas who put together a collection of songs and built a fierce four-piece combo, featuring the mighty Beaver Pooley and founding member Jake Harding.
