Hazards Of Swimming Naked are an instrumental group originating from Far North Queensland (Innisfail/Johnstone Shire).

Their music is a reflection of their surrounding environment and isolated townships and of the imposition of society on this environment and the way people interact with it. This sound has drifted over the years from dense terrorscapes to late night grooves to dreamy, serendipitous currents and paranoid messes.

While short punchy pop hooks will always have a place in the hearts and minds of the masses, we believe there is a place for music which is less immediate. Music which asks something of the listener…music which may at first confront yet leave a seed of intrigue in the listener’s mind...or which seduces and overwhelms the listener, removing them from their immediate environment, providing a reprieve from the chaotic over-stimulation of the external and allowing them to focus....kind of like acid really....
