I want to go to Australia. You guys have one of the greatest indie scenes

My brother died, horrifically. A while after a close family friend recounted a few months before when he had said aunty, listen to this song. It resonated with him and where he was in his life. Amazing. Your song will resonate with me forever.

I can't stop playing this song, well done guys you deserve the best, passion in every single word

[raychhbaby]

I love this song and I voted for it, but - was very shocked that it took out number 1!

[ciaramundo]

They sound so good live, something lots of artists can’t relate too

[mattlanselot]

This is brilliant. To all haters, suck it, Hoops is the best song on the radio at present

[Ashley-bkom]

Omg the fact that they sound exactly the same live.👌👌👌👌

[lukes]

Just coming back to appreciate during this strange time in Australia. Lockdowns are starting to feel like a hoop.... just going around in circle each time, continuing to do the same thing.

On a side note though: that drummer is faaarkin' smooth.

[scottharris]

Still one of the best like a versions. Nailed it.

Im still smashing this banger in 2022!

[ryanryan]

at first I was like slappa da bass mon then I was like shred that git sis.

[CallumIvorK]

Love to hear the original recording of what he thought the song could sound like!

[shaunamcdonagh]

I love Zaac, he's so adorable and talented

[stephencrowley]

I come here to watch this about once a week.

[CruisetheVistas]

I would've thought "The Night Is On Our Side" would've been more of a chance than #1. Nonetheless, great to see a local band taking out the #1 spot. Kudos lads.

[deangnarly]

Like the song, but wondering how it took out 1st place? Didn't know this song was that popular. Ah well, I do like it ☺️

[Barncore]

How did this song get #1? It's so "safe"

[scottdolingo]

Great job would love to see an acoustic arrangement made up my own would love to know how close I am to what they would come up with
