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

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].

Japan’s toe Announce Australia + New Zealand Tour for October 2024

Bird’s Robe is thrilled to announce the debut Australia and New Zealand tour of acclaimed Japanese post-rock/math band, toe, this coming October.

toe, known globally for their extraordinary musicianship, have been a major influence in the experimental rock scene for the past two decades. Their tracks and live performances have left a remarkable imprint on the sound of countless bands around the world.

The timing of their debut Australia and New Zealand coincides with the announcement toe is releasing their 4th full album, NOW I SEE THE LIGHT in July 2024, six years since their last EP, Our Latest Number.

Performing alongside toe on this momentous-math-instrumental occasion will be the incredible Dumbsaint, making their highly anticipated return to the stage.

Adding to the hype of toe’s first-ever Australia and New Zealand shows, this tour marks an emotional reunion for Dumbsaint. Referencing toe’s “The Book…” as the source of inspiration that led the band towards an instrumental approach, drummer Nick Andrews revealed that the upcoming tour symbolises a full circle moment for the band:

“In 2008, our first and only singer had quit the band. Unsure of how to best move forward, I suggested we embrace the idea of going instrumental with the songs we had already written.

Collectively unsure that this idea would work, it wasn’t until I walked into Egg Records and heard Toe’s ‘The Book…’ playing over the PA, that everything fell into place. Instantly captivated by their storytelling and musicianship, Toe’s discography became a gateway, providing us with a blueprint to aspire to.

And here we are 16 years later. This tour represents a full circle moment for us, and the right time to close ‘The Book…’ on this chapter of the band. Hopefully see you there.”

– Nick

Don’t miss out on this historical tour, which is set to be one of the biggest highlights in the experimental rock calendar for 2024.

RUN Release Sophomore EP ‘True Heaviness Is Time’ & Touring Nationally This July & August

RUN
RELEASE SOPHOMORE EP
TRUE HEAVINESS IS TIME

TOURING NATIONALLY THIS JULY + AUGUST

“…True Heaviness Is Time is a force to be reckoned with.”Everblack Media

“True Heaviness Is Time is a compelling testament to RUN’s ever-evolving sound…this EP fortifies RUN’s standing in the post-metalcore scene and heralds a promising and dynamic future for the band.” – The AU Review

True Heaviness Is Time is here. The second EP from Melbourne blackened post-metalcore band RUN sees the vision of vocalist Lochlan Watt standing fully formed.

True Heaviness Is Time is a dynamic and powerful tour de force that grips as it slams from peak to peak, with barely a moment to breathe between explosions of lush melody and deeply crushing riffs. With an outlook forged through the fires of Watt’s personal triumph over brain cancer, True Heaviness Is Time tackles the pain of existence with an aural violence powered by positivity.

Featuring guest vocals from Joel Birch of The Amity Affliction, John Floreani of Trophy Eyes, and Sophie Jest of R.U.B, there’s a multitude of diverse sounds on display within the band’s own unique take on heavy music – a classic 2000s metalcore sound infused with modern post-black metal.

Self-produced and engineered by guitarist Lewis Noke-Edwards, the release is polished off with a stunning mix from Forrester Savell (Karnivool, Animals As Leaders) and insane sci-fi inspired art direction by Patrick Galvin (Parkway Drive, Northlane).

An incredibly limited vinyl run of True Heaviness Is Time, also featuring the 2020 debut EP For You Will Never Find Peace Within Your Quiet as the B-side, will be available for pre-order on June 7 through Stiff Cut Records.

While RUN‘s previous studio collaboration, the 2023 single Everyone’s Cancelled, Everything’s Cancer, introduced a full lineup while spitting out the resentment from prior years to create a fresh slate, the track also saw the band go on to tour around the country with Deafheaven, Hexis, and Earth Caller.

Now completed by fellow veteran musicians guitarists Lewis Noke-Edwards and Arron Parker Richards, drummer Adrian Horsman and bassist/vocalist Benn Gaylor, RUN sits upon a new bundle of self-produced, bittersweet crushers that shine bright thanks to the glorious mix of Forrester Savell (Karnivool).

Having honed their skills on recent tours with Svalbard, The Amity Affliction, RUN will officially launch the release with a collection of gigs and festivals across Australia this July and August.
