Aotearoa Punks Dick Move Share ‘Scared Old Men’ + Video
Fresh off the back of a 14 date tour across Europe, Dick Move release a brand new hard hitting single titled Scared Old Men, taken from their forthcoming third studio album Dream, Believe, Achieve – set for release November 14th via 1:12/Flying Nun Records.
Scared Old Men is the sound of burnout, the exhaustion that comes from screaming into the void for far too long. A fusion of raw and post punk, it channels frustration into something visceral.
Despite the title, Scared Old Men doesn’t target “men”, but the ideology of patriarchy itself: a decaying, violent structure that shapes the world through fear, control, and suppression. It stands as a pillar of capitalism and the broken systems it upholds. Patriarchy hurts women, restricts gender expression, destroys the planet, and betrays the very men it claims to protect. Masculinity under patriarchy is a narrow box built of fear and silence. Scared Old Men screams from inside that box, exhausted and hoarse.
Another incredible video, directed by Stella Reid and supported by NZ On Air, encapsulates this concept immaculately.
To mark the release of their new album Dream, Believe, Achieve, out November 14, 2025 via 1:12 and Flying Nun Records, Aotearoa punk band Dick Move will embark on a national headline tour. Known for their loud, fast, and high-energy live shows, Dick Move will bring their signature no-holds-barred performance and new album to a wider audience this summer.
