Tell us about your upcoming tour and recent album release ?
The tour consists of Hobart (8th), Melbourne (22nd) and Sydney (28th) – three whirlwind weekends. Touring is cool because we get to see a bunch of interstate-bands we like and forget about our day-jobs for a bit. The new record is called “Life Admin” – it has 10 tracks and 9 of them are great.
Ā
What’s your favourite work at this point in time? (your own or your group’s work)
Probably this skateboard trick i filmed Henry doing in one of our videos. Maybe he will be in the Olympics now?
Ā
Tell us a quick, on the road or studio, anecdote.
The album was mixed in a hired-out studio space that is owned by Daniel Jones from Savage Garden and was filled with their gold records.
Ā
What, or who, inspires you?
Our landlord is pretty good at inspiring me to make sure i have rent at the end of the week.
Ā
Which song do you wish you wrote? “Africa” by Toto.
Ā
What’s next for you? Henry and i plan to have a massive falling out after he releases his experimental free jazzĀ soloĀ album, infighting, “artistic differences”, followed by a move to an offshore tax haven then and a “reunion tour” with no original members of the band.
Ā
What’s your scene? The last two festivals we’ve played someones mum has commented after that they really like us, so i guess we’re the pioneers of cool-mum-alternative-guitar-pop-rock which i’m totally on-board with.

Mates for a decade Gus Hunt and Henry GoslingĀ have made themselves a strong part of SydneyāsĀ DIY scene as Unity Floors. Their ability to createĀ such a racket performing modestly on guitar andĀ drums, has gained them respect in the scene andĀ make them welcome regulars stages acrossĀ Australia.
Their commentary of the banal happenings asĀ twenty somethingās comes naturally to the pair,Ā their music like a noisy catch-up between oldĀ mates. Having never lended their talents to otherĀ bands, Unity Floorsā sound has natural fluidity,Ā delivered fast with genuine familiarity and honesty.
Their unique set up and ability to create vastlyĀ accessible, skuzzy garage tunes has gained themĀ a loyal fanbase over the years.Ā Their debut LP, Exotic Goldfish Blues (PopfrenzyĀ Records 2013) received great commendation fromĀ press and radio and even, surprisingly a feature inĀ The Inbetweeners Two film with their hit single āNiceĀ Fitā.
In 2016, the Sydney favourites returned to theĀ studio to record their new album with producerĀ Nick Franklin. Life Admin is the result and onceĀ again it showcases the boysā ability to belt outĀ one great honest and crappy tune after another.
