HEY SMITH (JAPAN) ANNOUNCE DEBUT AUSTRALIAN HEADLINE TOUR

HEY SMITH (JAPAN)
ANNOUNCE DEBUT AUSTRALIAN
HEADLINE TOUR THIS NOVEMBER

WITH SPECIAL GUESTS
VOODOO GLOW SKULLS (USA)
AND THE RESIGNATORS

Today, Japanese punk/ska band HEY SMITH announce their debut Australian headline tour with specials guests, California punk/ska legends Voodoo Glow Skulls and Australia’s own fine purveyors of the genre The Resignators. The tour kicks off in Adelaide on November 27, heading up the east coast of Australia then culminating at the Ska Nation Festival in Colac on November 30. Full tour details below.

HEY SMITH hail from Osaka, Japan. Formed in 2006, the origin of the band name is, “SMITH” is taken from the initials of each member, and “HEY” just sounds like we’re in a good mood!

HEY SMITH incorporate horns into their upbeat, catchy melodic punk rock, a true live band who performs around 150 shows annually in Japan. The band host their own outdoor festival OSAKA HAZIKETEMAZARE FESTIVAL in Osaka every year. This band is not to be missed live!

Voodoo Glow Skulls were formed in 1988 by Eddie Casillas, Jorge Casillas, Jerry O’neill and Frank Casillas. After a few years of backyard party shows, cassette demos, 7” singles and first club gigs, they released their debut album “Who is, this is?” for Dr. Strange records in 1993, gaining the attention of Brett Gurewitz, owner of Epitaph records. The band then signed to Epitaph records and released four albums, starting in 1995 with “Firme”, their most successful album to date, then followed by “Baile de los Locos”, “Band Geek Mafia” and “Symbolic”.

The band began to tour worldwide with their first European tour in 1996 followed by Japan, Australia, Mexico, and South America. The band has been featured on several of Epitaph’s Punk-O-Rama releases and has had music featured in video games, TV and movies.

The song “Shoot the Moon” from the band’s Firme album was used in the Pauly Shoremovie Bio-Dome and the band’s version of “Used to Love Her” (originally written and recorded by Guns N’ Roses) is featured in the Mr. & Mrs. Smith soundtrack.

In 2002, Voodoo Glow Skulls signed to Victory Records. The band released three albums on the Victory label and continued to tour. In June, 2017, Frank Casillas announced his retirement from the band and was replaced by Death By Stereo vocalist Efrem Schulz.

The Resignators‘ journey is one of resilience, creativity, and a commitment to their musical vision. With a dedicated fan base, a solid discography, and an unwavering passion for their craft, The Resignators remain an essential part of Australia’s diverse musical landscape. As they continue to evolve and inspire, their music serves as a testament to the enduring power of ska-punk fusion.

We can’t wait for the homecoming of the century. We’re gonna hotbox your head, steal your car, rearrange your body and probably crash your house party. Clothes optional.’ – Sugar Bones

London based Janet Planet, Sugar Bones, Reggie Goodchild and Clarence McGuffie aka Confidence Man, return home for their ‘3AM (LA LA LA)’ Australian Tour kicking off Thursday 24 October at Freo Social, Fremantle before heading to The Gov, Adelaide on Friday 25 October.

“Electro-rave madness from festival’s biggest attention-seekers’ ★★★★NME

“a joyous blast of extrovert Aussie energy” – The Times

Confidence Man have just announced their third studio release, 3AM (LA LA LA) featuring the sugary shot of euphoria single ‘I CAN’T LOSE YOU’ – album released Friday 18 October via I OH YOU. Pre-order here. The visual for lead single ‘I CAN’T LOSE YOU’, sees the rave-poppers setting their sights sky high – flying over the city of London in a helicopter, naked. They want to whisk you away from the dull wasteland of modern mediocrity, pump up the volume and dump you on the dancefloor.

Following the huge acclaim of their last album, 2022’s TILT, Confidence Man’s next club-focused chapter began with the release of 2023’s ‘On & On (Again)’, co-produced with Daniel Avery. They’ve since released underground hits with DJ Seinfeld (‘Now U Do’) and DJ Boring (‘Forever 2 (Crush Mix)’), as well as a remix album (Confidence Man Club Classics Vol 1).

Raised in the Steel City, aka the coastal, industrial Australian town of Newcastle, LOODS is an understated character with a fun, raw take on dance music and is special guest on all ‘3AM (LA LA LA)’ shows. Since relocating to London in 2018, LOODS has delivered a string of high-impact releases including summer anthem ‘Walking Away‘, a collaborative project with dance music icon A-Trak, peak-time Italo burner ‘Pure Bliss Meltdown‘ (Pete Tong’s Essential New Tune), the Gummi EP, and ‘Riviera‘. All of this set against the backdrop of extensive touring throughout the UK, Europe and Australia, mixes for Rinse FM, NTS and triple j, and numerous remixes for artists like Pete Tong, Purple Disco Machine, Flight Facilities, and plenty more.

Confidence Man are bigger, bolder and hit harder than a ten tonne truck. Don’t miss ‘3AM (LA, LA, LA)’ live with special guest LOODS this October and November.

MK.GEE announces Australian tour | Playing Brisbane, Sydney & Melbourne this December

‘Mk.gee’s performance was more captivating and enigmatic than even his recorded music’ – Billboard

‘Nothing short of magic’ – Rolling Stone

‘Nothing in contemporary music sounds quite like it’ – Pitchfork

Following a run of 18 sold-out shows across North America last month, rising star Mk.gee announces his world tour. The expansive new run will see him embark on his debut tour of Australia in December 2024 – performing three special shows in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne in support of his transfixing album, Two Star & The Dream Police.

In addition to his North American dates, Mk.gee will be travelling to Europe and the UK, capitalising on the momentum from his venue upgrades in London earlier this year, which also saw sold-out success.

The artist presale begins today at 10am local time. Tickets will go on sale Friday 14 June (10am local time) via frontiertouring.com/mkgee. Frontier Member and Penny Drop members can get early access via presales beginning Wednesday 12 June (10am local time) – see website for full details.

Last night, to tease the impending tour announcement, Mk.gee shared a live visual of his performance of “Breakthespell” from one of his two sold-out shows at the Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles. The video captures the raw and enchanting energy of his live performance, earning high praise from Billboard, which described it as “a must-see for concert lovers.” Mk.gee’s performances with bandmates Andrew Aged and Zach Sekoff have been widely praised for their captivating presence, embodying the beguiling nature of the songs from his critically acclaimed debut album, Two Star & The Dream Police. Mk.gee’s alchemy of guitar sounds has been the centerpiece of his live shows, showcased on standout tracks that have become fan favourites such as “Candy,” “Are You Looking Up,” and “Alesis.”

Two Star & The Dream Police has captivated the musical world, drawing praise from fans and fellow artists alike, including Eric Clapton, who said in a recent interview, “he has found things to do on the guitar that are like nobody else.” The album received widespread acclaim from the likes of Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, and Vulture, who listed the album in their Best Albums Of 2024 (So Far) list, as well as being the subject of fervent fascination on guitar and music message boards online. Following Two Star’s release, Mk.gee ignited more widespread admiration making his late-night television debut with a standout performance of “Are You Looking Up” on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.

Get tickets to the tour, watch “Breakthespell” (Live From Los Angeles), and listen to Two Star & The Dream Police. For more tour details, visit frontiertouring.com/mkgee.

About BLAKE ROSE:

As a dynamic vocalist, deft multi-instrumentalist, and dexterous producer, Blake Rose not only dives in and out of different sonic wavelengths, but he also attunes to experiences and emotions. Against a backdrop of glistening alternative atmospheres, hummable pop choruses, and immersive electric guitar-laden soundscapes, he lyrically places himself inside of identifiable moments and unfiltered conversations unlocked by a keen sense of empathy. You’ll practically hear his memories and anecdotes unfold in real-time as he ponders the nature of nostalgia, infatuation, struggle, mental health, and family.

Emerging in 2018 out of Perth, Australia, he initially gained traction with “Hotel Room,” “Best of Me,” and “Lady” before 2020’s “Gone” exploded to the tune of 65 million Spotify streams. “Lost” picked up over 100 million streams as well. Meanwhile, his A World Gone By EP arrived to widespread critical acclaim. FLOOD hailed it as “a body of work that’s easy to get lost in,” while V Man dubbed him an “Artist to Watch” and FLAUNT attested, “Blake Rose is your new favorite artist.” He notably sold out headline gigs on both coasts of North America in addition to sharing stages with Noah Kahan, Ashe, Boys Like Girls, girl in red, Mimi Webb, Dean Lewis, Lauren Spencer Smith and many others on the road.

In 2023, the Australia-born and Los Angeles-based artist chronicled a series of realizations and revelations on his second EP, You’ll Get It When You’re Older, making his US Television debut, performing the song “Dizzy” from the EP on CBS’ The Late Late Show with James Corden. Earlier this year, Rose released his 3rd EP – Suddenly Okay, out via AWAL Recordings. Written and co-produced entirely by Blake Rose, the four-track collection offers listeners a tantalising and refreshing glimpse of what’s to come from one of Australia’s most exciting musical exports in 2024.

The The Share the new video for ‘Cognitive Dissident’ Touring Australia This November

THE THE
Share the new video for ‘Cognitive Dissident’
Touring Australia This November
First new studio album in a quarter century, Ensoulment, – Out Sept 6

THE THE, have today shared a stunning video for ‘Cognitive Dissident’, the first track to be taken from the recently announced Ensoulment, their first studio album of new songs in a quarter century out on Cinéola / earMUSIC on Friday, September 6.

The video was made in conjunction with long-time collaborators: directed by Tim Pope with editing, VFX and projections by Vicki Bennett (People Like Us) and Peter Knight.

Watch the music video for ‘Cognitive Dissident’
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gmwkzk2bPms

Listen here
https://thethe.lnk.to/CognitiveDissidentPR

THE THE and Tim Pope have a long, shared history working on a variety of videos and projects, including the film of the 2018 The Comeback Special concert at Royal Albert Hall (which featured as part of the multi-media box-set of the same name in 2021), the legendary Infected The Movie in 1987 – the first ever long-form video album release – the Versus The World film of the concert at Royal Albert Hall in 1999, and From Dusk ‘Til Dawn in 1993, as well as many music videos over the years including ‘Pillar Box Red’, ‘The Beat(en) Generation’, ‘Kingdom of Rain’, ‘Gravitate To Me’ etc.

Vicki Bennett (People Like Us), acclaimed video collage artist, and Peter Knight (photographer) have also long been associated with THE THE having worked on the videos for ‘We Can’t Stop What’s Coming’ and the ‘Stolen Moments’ remix of ‘GlobalEyes’ by DJ Food as well as creating the kaleidoscopic, cinematic backdrop for The Comeback Special world tour.

It’s always a pleasure to work with my dear friends, director Tim Pope, video collage artist Vicki Bennett, and photographer Peter Knight. Our times working together are not only very creative, but also full of laughter. -Matt Johnson

THE THE was formed by Matt Johnson in 1979 and the music inhabits a genre of its own: music of long shadows, high hopes, channelled anger, feverish passions and sweetly disturbing poignancy. It is pop and rock, blues and folk, soul and polemic. It spans alienated electronics to twisted cinematic soundtracks, guitar tumbling swing to crimson ballads, rants and prayers to diaries and hymns.

In over four decades, THE THE have released just five studio albums of original songs – Soul Mining (1983), Infected (1986), Mind Bomb (1989), Dusk (1993) and NakedSelf (2000). But always unpredictable, during this time THE THE have also made diversions into cover albums, such as Hanky Panky; film soundtracks including Hyena, Tony, Muscle and Moonbug; art installations; a podcast series, Radio Cinéola; a beautiful and moving 84-minute documentary, The Inertia Variations; and various book publications, including biography Long Shadows, High Hopes: The Life and Times of Matt Johnson & THE THE.

The album will be available in retail as Ltd. CD Hardcover Mediabook, CD Jewelcase, Black 2LP Gatefold and Ltd. Crystal Clear 2LP Gatefold.

Pre orders available now
https://TheThe.lnk.to/EnsoulmentPR

THE THE also recently announced another world tour, commencing September 2024, the band’s first since their hugely successful The Comeback Special world tour in 2018. Even before the announcement of Ensoulment, the Ensouled world tour has been selling out fast.

Lorna Shore Announce 2025 Australian Tour With Special Guests Bodysnatcher + To The Grave

Australia, the wait is officially over; today, deathcore icons LORNA SHORE announce their first ever Australian tour in 2025, set to be joined by special guests BODYSNATCHER and TO THE GRAVE.

Good things happen to those who wait or that Patience is a virtue but enough overused cliches to acknowledge it’s been long overdue that we finally tour the land down under. With all that being said we are excited to announce we are finally touring Australia. We hope to see all of you there. – Adam De Micco, Lorna Shore

Launching proceedings and bringing the deathcore love to Fremantle on February 14 next year, the tour will also hit Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney, before finishing on February 22 in Brisbane.

A band truly like no other, LORNA SHORE have survived and thrived against insurmountable odds over the years. Hailing from New Jersey, the group forged their present lineup and sound in 2020 against the backdrop of a pandemic, a singer change, and cancelled tours. Emerging with staggering new vigour via their 2021 EP …And I Return To Nothingness and their 2022 full length album Pain Remains, the LORNA SHORE rebirth rose like a guttural phoenix in a blazing display of raw emotion, technical prowess, and unforgettable twists and turns that garnered chart and critical success on a global scale.

Solidified with the insatiable vocal stylings of Will Ramosjoining the fold, debuting officially on …And I Return To Nothingness, LORNA SHORE have since catapulted onto the cover of Britain’s Rock Sound, supported Australian metalcore juggernauts Parkway Drive, snagged viral status on TikTok, generated millions of streams, and ticked off a sold out UK headline run, with their live energy also hammering home the group’s boundless stranglehold on the realms of modern and innovative extreme metal.

Finally set to tick off their first ever Australian tour in 2025, LORNA SHORE will arrive armed with their towering riffs, complex arrangements and visceral bombasity; come and venture To the Hellfire in 2025.

Forming in Melbourne, Florida, BODYSNATCHER deal in all things dark, furious and sonically threatening. Proudly and loudly putting the “core” back in deathcore, BODYSNATCHER have graced stages supporting the likes of Chelsea Grin and Slaughter To Prevail, with the band also in command of multiple albums and EPs, including 2017’s Death of Me, 2020’s This Heavy Void and 2022’s Bleed-Abide.

Australia’s TO THE GRAVE have emerged as “one of Australia’s heaviest exports” (Revolver), with the militant vegan deathcore crew ticking off sold out national headline runs in 2022 and 2023, as well as support slots alongside Cattle Decapitation, Thy Art Is Murder and Carnifex. A band anchored by ambition and conscience, TO THE GRAVE recently released their gripping new album Director’s Cuts in 2023.

Stick To Your Guns Release ‘Invisible Rain’ EP & Announce Signing to SharpTone Records. Touring Australia Supporting While She Sleeps.

Founded in 2003, Stick To Your Guns have been unleashing an urgent and socially conscious blend of hardcore, metal, and punk for over twenty years. Staying driven as ever, today the Southern California band announces their signing to SharpTone Records (Comeback Kid, Better Lovers) with the release of the Invisible Rain EP. The two track EP delivers immense and impassioned, honing in on feelings of alienation. Permanent Darkis a two-minute long hardcore rager, packed with gravity quaking riffs and pulsating drums. Invisible Rain leans into the band’s metalcore roots, with a feverish blend of clean sung and screamed vocals. The dynamic track is sure to be a live favourite, ready to bring a heavy mosh and cathartic sing-a-long. Invisible Rainwas engineered by Beau Burchell (Saosin) and guitarist Chris Rawson with mixing and mastering by Jeff Dunne (Knocked Loose, Currents). You can listen to Invisible Rain EP HERE.

Diving into the themes of the release and signing with SharpTone, vocalist Jesse Barnett expands:

“‘The alienation from the self is a consequence of being a mechanistic part of a social class, the condition of which estranges a person from their humanity.’

This EP is about the theory of alienation. The ways in which we have been alienated from ourselves, our work, our lives and ultimately each other. How are we to care about anything beyond ourselves when we ourselves are in a constant state of survival. The consequence of this is the society that currently envelopes us. One that preys on our decencies and our good will and turns it against us. There is a lot to despair about in today’s world but our future has yet to be written. We can either write it or it will be written for us.

I want to thank SharpTone Records for believing in our vision and for helping to continue to cultivate hardcore and metalcore music. Shawn has been involved with STYG since its inception and I know we are in good hands.

‘The old world is dying, the new one struggles to be born. Now is the time of monsters.’”

Stick To Your Guns will head out on a North American tour with Hawthorne Heights and Anberlin this summer, then head to Australia for a run with While She Sleeps.

Stick To Your Guns is Jesse Barnett [vocals], Andrew Rose [bass], Adam Galindo [drums], Chris Rawson [guitar], and Josh James [guitar].
