Hightime is an Australian band hailing from Adelaide, South Australia, known for their unique fusion of punk, reggae, and hardcore music, with a clear commitment to energy, melody, and social consciousness in their work. The band formed in the late 2000s and has carved out a niche in the punk scene with a sound that defies easy categorization, combining punchy riffs with infectious rhythms, and potent lyrical themes. Hightime's members exhibit a chemistry and dynamism that is just as evident in their recordings as it is during their high-octane live performances.

Over the years, Hightime has nurtured a dedicated following thanks to their impassioned approach to music and their vibrant DIY ethos. With a series of releases under their belt, the band has remained fresh and relevant in the punk rock world. Their most recent releases, including 'Thrive' and 'Quit Ya Job,' showcase their growth and versatility, integrating elements of ska and dub to complement their punk rock roots. The song 'Mother Crab' illustrates the band's ability to blend personal storytelling with wider socio-political commentary, while 'Ishi Prende' is emblematic of their skill in crafting catchy tunes that still pack a thought-provoking punch. Hightime continues to be a significant and influential force within the punk community, both in Australia and internationally.
