Dick Move – Nurses: 13th Floor New Song Of The Day
Aotearoa punk force Dick Move are renowned for their explosive live shows and blink-and-you’ll-miss-it anthems, blending party-punk chaos with razor-sharp political bite.
Here is the blurb with more:
Their third studio album, Dream, Believe, Achieve, is classic Dick Move: 13 tracks of unrelenting energy delivered in just 25 minutes. The riotous fury of Lucy Suttor, Lucy Macrae, Hariet Ellis, Justin Rendell, and Luke Boyes feels urgent and essential on every single track.
Dream, Believe, Achieve is out November 14th on digital, vinyl, and CD via 1:12 Records and Flying Nun Records.
PRE-ORDER ‘DREAM, BELIEVE, ACHIEVE’ HERE
The call to “Dream, Believe, Achieve” subverts the positive affirmation of dangerous self-help influencers to create individual wealth and status, into a chant demanding the creation of a positive collectivised world.
Following up their swaggering punk-rock battle cry ‘Fuck It’ is new album single ‘Nurses’ – a darker, snarlier protest track that channels the spirit of early ’80s UK punk, aimed squarely at the heart of neoliberalism.
‘Nurses’ is a necessary criticism of systems that prioritise profit over people. This year alone, $2.9 billion was handed to property investors – while hospitals remain understaffed, emergency rooms overflow, and frontline workers are stretched to breaking point.
“When the Government chooses landlords over nurses,” states vocalist Lucy Suttor in ‘Nurses’, she explains “it’s not neglect, it’s strategy. Defund, destabilise, privatise – that’s the playbook. And we’re calling it out.”
‘Nurses’ video director – Stella Reid adds “Dick Move’s Nurses isn’t screaming about the changes that need to be made, it knows the crisis is here, and it’s asking where you stand as it implodes”
‘Nurses’ is both a tribute to the power of collective action and a demand for justice, investment, and dignity. Made with the support of NZ on Air Music.
Alongside the fist-pumping, singalong singles ‘Fuck It’ and ‘Nurses’, Dream, Believe, Achieve is a fierce, unapologetic anthem for resistance – a raw, loud, and pointed critique of power structures that exploit, control, and erase. It’s about calling bullshit on the systems that commodify our lives, bodies, labour, and land – and reclaiming agency, voice, and collective power.
Tracked and mixed by De Stevens at Roundhead Studios, produced by long-term friend and collaborator Peter Ruddell (Sulfate, Wax Chattels), and mastered by new friend Mikey Young.

Having supported Foo Fighters and The Breeders on their 2024 New Zealand tour, as well as Aussie stalwarts Amyl & The Sniffers, Cosmic Psychos and The Chats, Dick Move have recently been taking on international touring themselves; a 22-date European in 2024, with another in September 2025, plus multiple visits to neighbouring Australia. Maintaining momentum as socialist-party punk agitators is a challenge that the band face head on – and Dick Move will keep doing what they do best; shouting across oceans about things that matter, in a thick kiwi accent.
Dream, Believe, Achieve is out digitally, on vinyl and CD via 1:12 Records and Flying Nun Records on November 14th.
Dick Move’s ‘Fuck It‘ red vinyl 7” is out now via 1:12 Records and Flying Nun Records — and available at all good record stores!
