Bitter End Australian Tour May 2012

Influenced by the metallic New York Hardcore bands of the late 80′s and early 90′s, San Antonio’s Bitter End have established themselves as a brute force in the hardcore community.

With all the makings of a contemporary hardcore classic, 2010′s “Guilty As Charged” bruises and batters with dynamic riffing, potent vocals/lyrics, and bone shaking breakdowns. Songs like “Unjust” and the title track “Guilty As Charged” showcase this hybrid brand of hard hitting thrash and hardcore. A tried and tested formula that Bitter End not only embrace, but continue to improve upon in their own vicious way.

This May they make there way to Australia for the first time where they will be joined by Perth’s Blkout.

Hopeless East Coast Shows

// February 13th, 2012 // No Comments » // Shows, Tours

Hopeless will embark on a quick East Coast tour in March before disappearing to record and prepare for the release of their new album later in the year. Since having released their debut album Dear World in 2009, the band has conquered Australia, playing countless tours and playing supports to some of the worlds biggest names in alternative music such as A Day To Remember and Parkway Drive. The band has started the process of writing for a highly anticipated new release, the line up is slightly different but the attitude is the same and these shows will mark the final time many of the Dear World and Human songs are played live. Hopeless bring to the stage a passion unmatched, whether it is the first time or hundredth time seeing them, these shows are not to be missed.

Supporting Hopeless on this run will be Sydney’s Endless Heights. A band who has exploded onto the scene with the release of their second EP Dream Strong, the band continues to go from strength to strength. Their melodic sensibilities and always hopeful and positive outlook winning over audiences one at a time; Endless Heights are the new generation.

Hailing from the metal and hardcore hotbed of Sweden/Norway, ANCHOR keep proving to be one of Europe’s most active and important hardcore bands with close to 300 shows in less than four years from countless European tours and two tours of North America. Following the release of their highly acclaimed album “Recovery” on Pee Records last year, ANCHOR are now set to add Australia to their extensive tour diary playing thirteen shows and covering five states in the first two weeks of March.

ANCHOR bring a heavy, aggressive hardcore sound with howled vocals, not without its speed and urgency, taking cues from bands like Judge, Entombed and Verse. ANCHOR are geared up to play alongside Baltimore’s TRAPPED UNDER ICE on four of their shows throughout their tour, and Gold Coast labelmate’s PROMISES will be joining them on the first leg of the tour.

Tuesday February 29th – Byron YAC w/Trapped Under Ice & Relentless.

Doors 6pm, All Ages, Drug & Alcohol Free. Get tickets here.
