Tropical Fu*k Storm – “Bloodsport” [Video]

Genre-bending Melbourne group Tropical Fuck Storm announces Fairyland Codex, the highly anticipated fourth album out June 20th, 2025, on new label home Fire Records. Recorded with co-producer Michael Beach at the band’s Dodgy Brothers studio in Nagambie, Australia, the songs on Fairyland Codex immerse us in the chaos of a fateful landslide, picking out the characters that litter the impending collapse of society.

The announcement of Fairyland Codex is accompanied by the lead single “Bloodsport.” Filled with well-schooled social anarchy, “Bloodsport” has a Talking Heads-styled funk and a stuttering guitar break, and features vocals from Erica Dunn, who shares: “A canticle of enticement to all dancing molecules left on planet earth to do their stretches and step into the ring for something braver than a bareknuckle fight; a pulse check. An anthem of resistance for all left with a beating heart to scoop themselves out of the bubble bath of social malaise and backyard domineering to perceive the ticking clock of reality square in the face before we are all left to eat Levis scraps like fruity loops in bowls of printer toner and orangutang juice.”

The release of “Bloodsport” comes with an animated video collage directed by Nespy 5Euro, who shares: “My stay at the TFS B&B was extremely pleasant. For 5 euros a night I have lived for a month inside Erica’s head where you can attend clandestine canape fights and showers in rivers of acid vomit. I couldn’t sleep because my neighbors continued to torture guitars. The room service was: a box of chocolates full of chicks, and clothes soup (house specialty). I recommend this accommodation. 5 stars.”
