Killing Heidi - Reflector (25th Anniversary Edition) (2025)

Killing Heidi’s iconic debut album, Reflector, is turning 25, and to celebrate, the band is releasing a special anniversary edition and hitting the road on tour. A defining album of the Y2K era, Reflector captured a moment in time where explosive teen energy met the thrill of a new century.

Reflector, the fastest-selling Australian album in history at the time, is getting a special anniversary release on vinyl and CD, complete with demos and rarities. The band will also hit the road to perform the album in full, giving fans the chance to relive the band’s explosive moment of arrival.

“It’s an unlikely success story, for sure,” says Ella Hooper, looking back on the album that made her and her brother Jesse household names. “Sonically, it was so adventurous, we were so young, and it was such a wild-looking band for the time. But the songs connected because they’re authentic teen stories. I think that’s the hook that’s made it last. Our shows give people the chance to remember who they were during that time and reconnect with those feelings.”

“For a lot of people, Reflector is hardwired to some of their greatest memories—the soundtrack to leaving school, their first kiss, their first car.”

Killing Heidi was the perfect storm of ‘99/2000. A 4x platinum, #1 debut album that tore the roof off the Australian pop-rock establishment, fusing the energy of grunge to the new electronic frontier. Their space-glam fashion traded ‘90s flannel for futuristic colour, glitter and flash. They blitzed the ARIAs, dominated the Hottest 100, and won APRA Songwriters of the Year.
