If It Sucks, Turn It Up is the fifth studio album by Australian rock band Dune Rats. It was released on 2 August 2024.
Guitarish Danny Beus said: "We wanted to make an album that throws you around a bit, like you are being washed around in the surf. We're five albums in now so we knew it should be a record that shows all the different sides to the band."
Emma Wilkes from Kerrang! wrote that "Contrary to Dune Rats' self-deprecating quip, this record doesn’t suck at all."
Jack White from Clash said "Over the piece, this album is fantastic and you can easily compare this album to releases from the successful groups around the 1990s/2000s in this genre... Dune Rats definitely have carved out their own identity whilst remaining faithful to the pop/punk energy, and they keep the appeal of this style feeling fresh." Matt Slocum from Rolling Stone Australia called the album "a left-step".[1]
Gary from Devolution Magazine said "Throughout the band's fifth full-length there is a youthful verve that harks back to those early Blink-182 or Green Day records, with plenty of humour, self-awareness and bouncing riffs."[2]
