/in /by

Resist Records welcomes Polaris to its roster. Coinciding with the one year anniversary of “The Guilt & The Grief”, March 3 will see the EP released on 10″ vinyl for the first time.

Polaris, from Sydney’s south have built their reputation as one of the most exciting live acts in the Australian heavy music scene. They toured consistently through out 2016 supporting the “The Guilt & The Grief” at an ever-increasing scale by selling out most of their own headline tour, supporting acts such as Parkway Drive, Plini and Intervals and capped it off in a sold out East-coast tour with Northlane and Hellions in November.

The band are currently hard at work on writing their debut album, due to be recorded this year.

RESIST WELCOMES OSLOW TO ITS ROSTER

/in /by

Resist Records welcomes Oslow to its roster. Their self titled debut album will be released on February 10.

Rinsed in ‘00s nostalgia, the atmospheric lead single ‘Cold Dark Space’ is accompanied by a performance-based video that creates a sense of vacancy and detachment through the minimalist styling of lifeless objects within a white-walled home. The track is four minutes of moody, layered melody lines and heartfelt lyrics reminiscent of iconic crossover bands including Brand New and Title Fight. These characteristics form the essence of Oslow’s enthralling 11-track soundscape, heightened with the anthemic choruses on album opener ‘Asleep in the Hallway’ and ‘Los Croydos’, the epic, fuzzy riffs on ‘Nothing Yet’ and the commanding drum fills throughout ‘Deer in the Works’.

In joining forces with producer/engineer Dylan Adams (DMA’s, James Blake) on the album, Oslow have honed their craft to exercise a more purposeful and deliberate method to their song writing. Revealing the observations that led to Oslow, frontman Dylan Farrugia explains “the songs themselves seek to express our personal experiences as young people in Australia and what that means at this juncture in history. With the world seeming to crumble everywhere around you it’s very easy to disengage and lose sense of worth. Realising once you engage and have discussions with the people around you it becomes easier to mobilise and see things for what they really are. Understandings that through the sharing of experiences we better each other’s lives and have the ability to impact what happens around us.”

Since their formation five years ago, Oslow – Dylan Farrugia (vocals, bass), Jacob Rossi (guitar, vocals), Sean Hampstead (guitar, vocals) and Alex Ashtiani (drums) – have captivated audiences and critics alike with their alternative post-punk sound, sharing stages with highly respected indie, punk and hardcore heavyweights Title Fight, PUP, La Dispute and Balance & Composure to name a few. Since debuting the Field EP in 2012, the band has gone from strength to strength, having released the now-sold-out Days Are So Bright Now EP (2014) and the double A-side No Longer Concerns Me 7” (2015), which was re-pressed in 2016.

NOTHING AUSTRALIAN TOUR JANUARY 2017

/in /by

Philadelphia shoegaze/alternative rock quartet NOTHING has announced an Australian tour this January in support of their new album “Tired Of Tomorrow” (Relapse Records)

“Tired Of Tomorrow” is a modern, nihilistic take on the triumphant fuzzed-out guitar rock of the ’90s, replete with huge hooks and brooding melodies. Much like the events it’s based on, the album displays an unparalleled balance of opposites and contradictions, rife with sweet-and-sour themes, downcast grooves, infectious choruses and blissfully expansive washes of sound. With “Tired Of Tomorrow,” Nothing has worked the deepest influences of their youth and maturation into a confident, memorable album that is sure to soothe old wounds while simultaneously opening up new ones.

EVERY TIME I DIE / LETLIVE. AUSTRALIAN TOUR 2017

/in /by

EVERY TIME I DIE and LETLIVE. are joining forces to play a string of national co-headline dates across Australia in January 2017 with very special guests, COUNTERPARTS.

Buffalo, New York hardcore band EVERY TIME I DIE are no strangers to Australian shores from playing the main stage of The Big Day in 2013 to countless headline shows across the country. They’ve just completed their seventh Vans Warped Tour in US and will show case their brand new album Low Teens, set for a September 23 release. Engineered and produced by Will Putney (The Amity Affliction, Acacia Strain, Thy Art Is Murder), Low Teens features guest vocalists with formidable bellower Tim Singer (Deadguy, Kiss It Goodbye, No Escape) and longtime friend Brendan Urie (Panic! at the Disco).

EVERY TIME I DIE has always juggled hardcore urgency, metal brutalism, and rock melodies, but never has it felt this instinctive or this vicious. As their music has grown and evolved, though, so has their energetic live show.

Since their beginning in 2002, LETLIVE. has been a band that is not easy to categorize. With a sound that Afropunk described as “the first truly unique post-hardcore band in years.” The radical Los Angeles punk band released their fourth studio album entitled If I’m The Devil… which debut at #18 on the ARIA album chart and has had critics raving. ” California post-hardcore outfit deliver their first classic’ said Rolling Stone Australia while Upset Magazine gushes, “More than a band you go and see, letlive. are a band you’re a part of.” and NME hails “letlive. meld incisive protest politics with caustic guitars. This is what raging against the machine sounds like in 2016.”

Those who have witnessed a LETLIVE. show can attest that it’s one of the most intense and explosive live shows you will ever witness. It is a connective, reactive and provocative experience that transcends the standard band performance and stage/audience dynamic.

COUNTERPARTS has come quite a long way since their formation in 2007. They were named Alternative Press’ “100 Bands You Need To Know In 2012” and have toured US, UK, and Europe alongside August Burns Red, The Ghost Inside, Bane, and label-mates Terror. Absolute Punk raved about their live show “rip-roaring intensity, haunting and powerful lyricism, solid song structures and vocals that guide each song forward with a remarkable sense of command”, it is abundantly clear that this Canadian hardcore band is here to stay.
