“…it’s like a dream come true situation for us, we’ve been talking about trying to get to Australia to play some shows seriously for about the last three or four years and we’ve just been chasing it every opportunity and now that it’s actually going to become a reality we’re just kind of shocked but really, really excited man to […]

“…being in Australia is amazing. Definitely a place when you’re a kid growing up in The States you’re not sure if you’re gonna go or if you just plan for it to be a place you wanna go, so being able to go there and see so many parts of it and actually tour is pretty special…” From Bio: Since […]

“…that’s the thing, people are already talking about our legacy saying we deserved better or we deserved to be bigger or whatever, which is nice, but I would hate to be remembered that way because it makes us look like we were so shitty *laughs*” From Bio: THE SWELLERS got their start in 2002 when brothers Nick and Jonathan Diener […]

“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 […]

“So to take that much time off and come back and it’s like wow, I can’t believe people are so excited to see us, we didn’t even know how things would be, we have no idea what to expect, so it’s kind of like the unknown leaving us now knowing how to feel yet until we get there and get […]

“…when we first started playing festivals, we almost found it more natural to us than some of the smaller venues because our form of music is so upbeat and has a lot of audience participation, so when you actually get a big crowd into it, it’s kind of a magnified effect, so we never had troubles with it in the […]

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

“…we’re ready for anything that comes and I think the hardest part is that there was never a big scene in Japan, there wasn’t a lot of people that listened to a Japanese band that only sang in English, so there was a little bit of those kind of bumps but I think everything we’ve done over the years has […]

UK’s MONUMENTS bring new life to the progressive metal scene. They push the envelope with complex instrumental metal grooves and are the fourth band to be announced on the Soundwave Festival 2015 line-up. Now with Chris Barretto (ex-Periphery, Ever Forthright) on vocals, they have forged their own path staying ahead of the pack with their mind-bendingly progressive tech-metal artisanship. From […]
