hazards of swimming naked are a Brisbane based 5 piece instrumental band originating from Queensland's tropical far north. The humidity and vibrancy of that region permeates their music and culminates in a sound which shares all the cinematic grandeur of artists such as Mogwai, godspeed you black emperor and Mono.

"hazards" have toured nationally supporting US post rock giants This Will Destroy You and played on bills with fellow instrumental groups sleepmakeswaves and Jakob.
