Everything Is A-OK, the fifth album from Brisbane's Violent Soho, came out on 3 April 2020 through I Oh You and Pure Noise Records, and by 11 April it was sitting on top of the Australian albums chart, the band's second trip there after Waco in 2016. The lineup that had carried the band for most of its life was still in place: Luke Boerdam singing and playing guitar, James Tidswell on the other guitar, Luke Henery on bass and Michael Richards on drums.
They've always called what they do stoner pop, and the tag fits better than grunge. The sound has long drawn comparisons to Mudhoney and the Pixies, but here the fuzz is slack and sun-dazed and the hooks are built to be yelled back by a sweaty room. Six singles came off it, "Vacation Forever" and "Pick It Up Again" among them, and the ARIA Awards nominated it for Best Rock Album, with further nods for Greg Wales's engineering and Henery's cover art.
