Hammok release new single and video Tap Water
Oslo trio Hammok have shared “Tap Water”, the latest cut from their forthcoming album When Does This Place Become Our Scene, out 5th June 2026 via Sargent House.
Following the raucous rush of “Gooning For Free” and “The Scene”, the new track finds Hammok shifting into more brooding territory. Still wired with their usual noise-rock voltage, “Tap Water” leans into softer grooves and a more reflective pulse, offering what the band describe as “a moment to touch grass.”
A song about connection and intent
Speaking on the track, vocalist/guitarist Tobias Osland says:
“It’s not enough to do something just to say it’s done; it needs to be done for a reason and for actual effect, not for show.”
The accompanying video, directed by Christoffer Bya, was shot at Bromsjordet, a skatepark in Horten, Norway. The location holds personal significance for the band, who spent time there during Hammok’s early days.
Forward-thinking punk from Norway
Hammok are Tobias Osland, drummer Ferdinand Aasheim, and bassist Ole Benjamin Thomassen. On When Does This Place Become Our Scene, the band push their mix of hardcore energy, pop production, emo melody, indie texture and caustic noise into something both chaotic and hook-heavy.
The result promises an album caught between underground intensity and infectious immediacy.
When Does This Place Become Our Scene is released 5th June 2026 via Sargent House. Pre-order HERE.
