Purple Disturbance are a four-piece punk powerhouse, crashing through the noise with gritty riffs and raw attitude. Equal parts loose chaos and tight precision, they deliver a ferocious nod to high-energy punk, echoing the Ramones, Black Flag, The Stooges, and modern firebrands Idles and Amyl and the Sniffers.

Purple Disturbance are an unstoppable force, where their driving sound and edge are captured with brutal lyrics that unravel social truths, the tragedy of delusion and not breaking the cycle alongside a fierce mix of humour, dissent and emotion. 

Frontman Thom is a magnetic storm part Hutchison, part Morrison and mostly himself as he characterises the subjects of the lyrics while sharing his confidence and taking audiences with him on a deeper journey into every song. Josh drives the low-end with pulsing, unpredictable basslines and Jess hits hard with pure punk power, but it's her secret groove that gives her an edge—it's a rare and unique element as Jed’s Gretsch grind weaves seamlessly between the rhythm section, making the sound a perfect balance of energy and precision.

It's too good and the songs are singular, distinctive and define a flow from one great track into another. The power is undeniable, alluring, and Thom channels that energy completely, making the room his own.

Their debut single Millie and Gus backed by an animated video from Ozzie Wrong, dropped like a sonic grenade and scored a spot in the 2025 Rip Curl surf film ‘Dunno’, and shortly after the band’s second single Juice Stick was heard on Triple J Unearthed High airwaves. Followed by Queen Bee and Criticise, Penalise, Attack and Slam, remnant of early Radio Birdman, sprinkled with shades of Idles and carrying a message for the times.

Purple Disturbance have shared stages with Grinspoon, Jebediah, The Screaming Jets, Dune Rats, Private Function, Guttermouth, The Beddy Rays, British India and internationals are on the way. Writing and recording and pure modern punk fire in between.
