Enduring line-up shifts and a constant uphill battle to be heard, OF MICE & MEN are a band who embody the meaning of ‘unbreakable spirit’ and have emerged stronger than ever.

“…as far as He Is Legend as a core it’s pretty much the same. It feels the same, we’re pretty much in the same situations, we have a lot of new life and new excitement for what we’re doing, but we’re just brothers you know, we love each other and we hate each other *laughs* I wouldn’t have it any […]

Pop punk perfection… that’s ALL TIME LOW in a nutshell!

A band as colourful and explosive as their name […]

“…we sort of think that we figured out what Bayside was supposed to sound like a long time ago, and we love the way it sounds, and everybody has that band that they love that stopped sounding like their favourite band, and we never want to do that, we always want to sound like Bayside.” From Bio: BAYSIDE fans don’t […]

NEW FOUND GLORY continue their dominance in a genre they pioneered almost 20 years ago, providing a breath of fresh air and boasting a catalogue that contains some of the most memorable pop punk songs in history. NEW FOUND GLORY has never sounded more incredible, and as their legion of Australian fans can attest to, they have taken the genre […]

“We’re gonna play some old school classics and but then we’re going to play all this stuff we’ve been writing all the years but haven’t been coming down to Australia to tour on, so a lot of the fans will be hearing a lot of these songs for the first time live, so that’s going to be special.” Since the […]

A rock god that needs no introduction, but we’ll well and truly give him one anyway.

“Yeah, this is it man, people who are fans of the band and see we’re playing or haven’t seen us yet, or want to see us for the last time, this tour is definitely one to attend.” From Bio: From the schizophrenic opening cut, the sarcasm-dripping, sound effect-laden “Hail to his Majesty” to the thrash-punk riffs and booming bass reverberations […]

“…it’s been a roller coaster that’s for sure, it’s evolved into a business machine that’s really kept up with the times, managed to stay relevant, managed to mostly put out good music, you can’t always hit a home run, but we’ve always put out the music we believe is right and pertinent to the times…” From Bio: The shadow of […]

“…that’s my favourite tour or festival show or whatever you want to call it, in the entire world, man.
