About the Artist
Gold Coast rock outfit THE VERNONS are making their return in a big way for 2026 with new album STRIKE OUT AGAIN - the band’s first studio album in three years.
Full of moments that speak to the band’s chemistry and a new chapter of creative spark, the album is out August 12th; teasing the energy of the record, The Vernons have shared a new single from it in ‘DON’T GIVE A DAMN IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE ME’.
The song is a potent offering from The Vernons, capturing bold indie and blues brushstrokes and weaving them all in with lyrics delivered with emotion and power. As the band describes, ‘Don’t Give A Damn If You Don’t Believe Me’ is a cathartic outpouring of pent up frustration.
“Born from the sting of being doubted by someone whose support should have been unwavering, the track transforms betrayal into a fierce declaration of self-belief. Raw, raucous guitars collide with deliberate moments of silence, creating a dynamic push and pull that lingers long after the final note.” THE VERNONS
‘Don’t Give A Damn If You Don’t Believe Me’ follows on from the release of ‘NIGHTMARE’, the first official taste of the new album from The Vernons, generating more excitement for the group’s return.
For over a decade, The Vernons have continued to dedicate themselves to evolving as musicians and songwriters. Their brand of rock music has garnered acclaim and a fierce following of fans around the country, positioning the band time and again as one of Queensland’s premier live bands.
To date, The Vernons have accumulated over 13 million streams across their catalogue, while numerous sold out shows in Australia have been bolstered by successful performances alongside acts including The Rubens, The Jungle Giants, Gang of Youths and more.
