Matt Bourke is the enigmatic frontman, guitarist, and master of the heartfelt hook in his band The Delusional Drunks.

It’s not punk, it’s not rock n roll, it’s not blues. It’s somewhere in-between a drunken sea shanty and screaming your favourite song so damn loud that you lose your voice for a week.

Bourke blends roots-rock and folk with a storyteller’s edge, capturing the heartbreak and humour of small towns and long nights.

Born as a party band, the Delusional Drunks bring an uncontrollable energy to a raw and intense live show. Drawing inspiration from artists such as The Vasco Era, Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Peter Bibby and The Drones.
