Now obviously when a band […]

“For me to be able to come back and tour as Wednesday 13 at Soundwave that’s a really big accomplishment for me. Not to be on a major label, doing my stuff DIY as I do it, and being listed up amongst a lot of the big bill bands, it’s really, really cool and makes me feel good that I’ve […]

“I can confidentially say we’ll be playing together for the rest of our lives.” The Getaway Plan were one of Australia’s biggest bands a few years back; but with five years as a band and only one year of real success in 2009 the band decided to go on hiatus.  This confused and shocked both fans and people in the […]

“I think there’s just something about it that we still get excited, and if we didn’t I don’t think we’d be able to tour the way we tour because we tour so much, we’re pretty much gone the whole year just playing shows, so I think if you don’t enjoy it it’d be a really tough life, so we just […]

Now I’ve never seen Eskimo Joe before so I was hoping from everything I’d ever heard about them being a great live band was true, guess there was only one way for me to find out and that was to head to The Enmore on a rainy Saturday night in Sydney and check out these boys from WA… Opening band […]

It’s actually really, really good. This is a fun record that sees Simple Plan try out somewhat of a new sound and feel for the […]
