HEAR TODAY, HEAR TOMORO.

Hunters & Collectors is one of the most
respected Australian bands and without a doubt
the most intense. Composed of three horn
players backing a rhythm section of three, the
band has been together since 1980 gathering
renown for its confrontational lyrics,
"squeezing-out" musical feel and exhilarative
live shows. Intellectual rock for the mind
and body.
