Dr Sure`s Unusual Practice (AUS)

Dr Sure’s Unusual Practice make modern punk music in the primordial sense of the word – no rules. Combining elements of post-punk, new wave, full power rock n roll, avant-garde and surrealism. Their ethos is creative resistance – innovative and politically subversive – using music, performance, visual art and film to project a message that’s equal parts critical and hopeful. Dr Sure’s Unusual Practice is most often compared to luminaries Devo & Talking Heads or contemporaries Total Control & Tropical Fuck Storm* (*who they’ve supported on multiple occasion). Led by Dougal Shaw, Dr Sure was a nickname (Dougal’s initials, D.R. Shaw) that became a multi-disciplinary alter ego – encompassing songwriting, film-making, design, tattooing, activism et al – which is distilled into his Unusual Practice.
