Headroxx

Headroxx is the ninth studio album by Australian alternative rock band Regurgitator, released on 1 August 2018 through Valve Records. It was preceded by a 21 April Record Store Day exclusive double A-side vinyl of "Don't Stress"/"Light Me On Fire". It was followed by the Life Support Tour around Australia with dates throughout August 2018.

Recording and composition
After the hiatus soon after the release of 2013's Dirty Pop Fantasy the group came back together after contact by Paul Curtis. "What generally happens is Paul [Curtis, the band's manager] says 'Oh, you've got to do a record, we've got a tour coming up, let's do it now'. And we're like, oh god, OK!" The record was recorded quickly compared to some previous ventures; at both Ben and Quan's homes and at Greg's Byron Bay + Wild Mountain Sound. "It was funny because when we showed each other our songs they seemed to have this common thread of being a little bit psychologically messed up in the modern world and dealing with the pressures of where the world's at now," Ben explained. "All of the songs seemed to have this common thread about them and that's why we called the album Headroxx; it's kind of like rock songs about your psychological state."

Soon after the supporting tour the group continued work towards The Really Really Really Really Boring Album, their first venture into children's records to be released in 2019.

Reception
Andrew Bartlett of 4zzz wrote, "There are some real gems contained in this release, in amongst the fun and floating around in musical thought bubbles". while Jacob Colliver of beat.com.au stated, "Headroxx is well-made and well-stated, but never grim or pretentious. Regurgitator continue an untarnished legacy doing what they do best." Colliver rated the album 8 out of 10.
