Australian heavy rockers Emergency Rule have released a thunderous new live video for ‘The Hook’, taken from their acclaimed 2024 album ‘The King of Ithaca’—a record that earned rave reviews, including a perfect 10/10 from Metal Hammer Spain. Filmed during the band’s first-ever tour of Japan in November 2024, the video captures the raw energy and power of Emergency Rule’s final show in Kobe at the iconic Blueport venue. The clip was directed, produced, and filmed by long-time creative collaborator Jason McNamara, who has worked closely with the band on multiple projects over the years. The Japanese tour saw Emergency Rule perform six electrifying shows across the country, from Tokyo to Kobe, marking a major milestone in their international journey. With momentum building, the band are now gearing up for a run of high-profile shows back home in Australia. Highlights include a set at Purgatory Festival at the soon-to-be-closed Crown & Anchor, support slots for both rock legends Electric Mary on their farewell tour at The Gov in Adelaide, and the Swedish party train that is Night Flight Orchestra. Followed by a national tour with Stoned Jesus (Ukraine), who are making their long-awaited Australian debut. |
