2/6. These four drawings making part of this project will be for sale with the entirety of the proceeds going to Marathon’s insurance bill following their car accident. I’ll post more about that when they’re all done.
‘entirety’ is a word, right?
Dase from Encircling Sea, Carbs, Clagg, Dude Mtn and who knows how many other bands currently just posted this.
We had no idea this was happening or being organised. Thank you so much for the help, Dase. You are a legend.
More to come.
Playing this one. Double setting with Nazi Dentist and Steven Millar Scott. SMS features Stevie and Ryan from Fires of Waco, Cam and Simon from To The North and myself. Joy Division / Interpol vibes so I’ve been told, don’t listen to either band but thought it would be fun to do a band where I wouldn’t have to do as much.
Come help raise some money for Marathon who were in a car accident on their recent tour and are now in debt to the hire car company. Boos.
Out of humility, I am not sure what I can really say about this. It’s a really, really kind thing that our friends Aaron and Cam have organised for us. Thanks guys.

I meant to include in that previous post that we are also looking to do some All Ages shows. It seems a bit unlikely in Brisbane so we’re looking to Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast and Byron promoters as well - anything you got coming up, let us know, we don’t play enough AA.

Tomorrow night we’ll be doing our hometown launch for I’ll Never Look At You The Same Way (which, I just realised, could easily be a Blacklisted song title).
It’s at X & Y and the only bands playing are mates, which is an awesome coincidence.
We’re on first, supporting Toy Boats, Hoodlum Shouts and Fear Like Us.
Please come along, buy a 7”, a shirt and help us recoup a little on our debt, as well as enjoying a really eclectic bill of excellent dudes.
Thanks to Nick (DAL) and Andy (Poison City) for hooking us up on such a sweet bill.
-Ryan
PS. The Avengers is really sweet and you should go see it, but not tomorrow night.

Our friends in Nighthag and Palisades are playing a show together in BRISBANE! tonight. A couple of the best and most interesting hardcore (whatever, it’s a convenient word) bands in Australia.
Oh shit, IT’S FREE!
Fat Louie’s, with Fuck Mountain and Idylls.
It’s there for the taking - we charge $10 for a hardcopy, if you want to use that as a guide. Don’t feel sheepish about taking it for nothing, but if you do please try and tell others about it too.
With over $5000 to pay after our car accident, we really appreciate anything you can contribute right now, even if it is 50 cents.
Thank you!
A few additions to our webstore to help get some funds together to help cover to cost of our recent tour.
Both Shirts for $30
Add $5 to either shirt and get a 7”
Add $3 to either shirt and get an EP
We are home safe after a dramatic tour down the east coast of Australia and would just like to say the following:
Thank you to everyone that came out over the the last week to see us play shows in Coffs, Canberra, Sydney and Melbourne. Thank you to all the bands we played with and lent out their gear - Xibalba, Warbrain, The Takehold, I Sleep at Dawn, Ramps, Life and Limb, Hoodlum Shouts, Reincarnation, Our Solace, Hopeless, Carbs, Outright & Palisades. Thank you to Phil from Fat Guy Wears Mystic Wolf Shirt, Rohan from Life and Limb and Brett & Jelena from Outright for giving a roof to rest our heads. And thank you to Craig at Midnight Funeral Music for having faith in us and releasing our new 7”.
As some of you may know, we were involved in a car accident on Saturday whilst driving between Sydney and Melbourne on the Hume Highway near Wangaratta. Everyone involved is fine and safe.
We haven’t let this event slow us down. We still managed to organise a way to get to Melbourne to finish off the tour and play two amazing shows. Another thank you to everyone that got in contact with us over the weekend to see if we were fine and sent their best wishes to us.
Unfortunately the hire car we had was written off and has left us in a bit of debt with the hire company. Please keep an eye over the next days while we work some things up and put merch and other items on sale.
One last thank you to people who are helping to organise fund raising events to help us in this time. The last few days has really opened our eyes to the support that the Brisbane & Australian Hardcore community can offer.

Our Next show is on Thursday the 3rd of May with Fear like Us, Hoodlum Shouts and Toy Boats at Sntich (X&Y Bar).
