APRA AWARD - MOST PLAYED AUSTRALIAN WORK

This Heart Attack

This Heart Attack

A big thank you to everybody invloved - last night at the APRA Awards in Melbourne we won the award for ‘Most Played Australian Work!’

“The category of MOST PLAYED AUSTRALIAN WORK has been won by first time nominees FAKER for their impossibly catchy song This Heart Attack.

Currently on tour with the Pink juggernaut, the song, written byNATHAN HUDSON, was voted at #5 on triple j’s Hottest 100 (2008) and the band slipped into the national consciousness with their 2nd album Be The Twilight”

Once again thanks to the voters and everyone who’s played any of our tracks, we love you!
