As they approach their 10 year anniversary as a band, Miles Away return to Byron in December. Today the band has announced a selection of special supports and friends who will be playing the show with them. Apart from the exciting tour package, local bands The Street Youth, Word Up! and Bonestorm have been added to round out one of the most impressive line ups seen here in recent times. Arguably two of the most popular bands to come out of the Byron Bay Hardcore scene over the past 5 years, both The Street Youth and Word Up! will be doing a one off reunion as part of this show. New Byron band Bonestorm will be providing something fresh with their blend of hardcore and thrash. Needless to say, this will be one of the wildest shows on offer this summer so grab a ticket from any Oztix Outlet or online here before they are all snapped up.
There will also be a Bakesale with vegan goods, plus a BBQ and cold drinks. You can RSVP to the Facebook event here.

We are happy to announce the much anticipated Hardcore Halloween lineup, every year this event proves to be the most exciting thing happening on the calendar in terms of shows in the area. Each year we’ve watched as it has continually grown into something bigger and we know that this year is no exception as the line up returns to focus on local talent.
After receiving a lot of attention from the release of their debut album ‘Divination’, In Hearts Wake will return to headline Hardcore Halloween this year after numerous recent Australian tours. Direct support will come from one of the most promising local acts in years, Shackles. This band has outdone every expectation and continued to impress so be sure to check them out if you’re a fan of fast and agressive music. Survival are another band on the rise who quickly formed out of the remains of a couple of now defunct north coast bands. With only a demo to their name they have already enjoyed an opening spot on this year’s Hardcore 2012 event and have just been announced as the opening band for all shows on the upcoming Parkway Drive ‘Atlas’ Australian Tour. Two locals in Dead Hand and Juggernaut are also on the show, providing fans of the heavier side of things with something to be happy about.

Byron Bay’s Parkway Drive will embark on their most ambitious Australian tour this December to coincide with the release of their hugely anticipated fourth album, Atlas.
Recorded in Los Angeles with esteemed producer Matt Hyde (Slayer, Hatebreed, Sum 41, Alkaline Trio, etc.), the soon-to-be-released Atlas is yet another leap forward for the chart-topping Australian group, whose previous effort, 2010’s Deep Blue, took out the ARIA award for Best Hard Rock and Metal release.
The new album’s heightened ambition has led to plans for a more elaborate live show. “Everything has been enhanced,” says vocalist Winston McCall. “For the past ten years we’ve played with a backdrop, and the whole experience has been us. We’re trying something this time, and hopefully it makes people feel something different as well. It’s definitely going to be entertaining. There won’t be any dead spots.”
December’s Atlas Australian Tour will boast an all-Australian line-up, with support coming from three exciting local acts, I Killed The Prom Queen, Northlane and Survival.
“It’s the biggest tour we’ve ever done, and the fact that we’re keeping it all Australian means a lot to us and highlights how far the bands in this country have come,” says McCall.

Philadelphia’s Blacklisted are back this September/October after a 3 year gap between Australian visits. The band are set to return off the back of two solid releases, 2009′s No One Deserves To Be Here More Than Me (Deathwish) and their 2012 EP Eccentrichine (Six Feet Under). After countless line up changes and consistent back to back touring over their 10 year career as a band, Blacklisted remain one of the most respected and revered groups to come out of North Eastern USA. If you’re yet to year their most recent efforts, be sure to pick both records up before they return with Defeater next month.
