Jello Biafra is set to return to our shores this week with the Guantanamo School Of Medicine, to play a set that will include some classic Dead Kennedys' hits, along with original material. The occasion will mark the first time Jello has fronted Australian audiences to sing Dead Kennedys' tunes live, since 1983.
As Pennywise are due to hit the country soon in April as a part of their 25th anniversary celebrations, we decided to take a trip back in time to 1995 when the band toured the country not once, but actually twice in the same year.
Vision of Disorder is currently in the country as a part of the travelling Soundwave lineup. As this occasion marks only the band’s second visit to Australia (albeit 15 years apart), we thought it was high time to take a look back on their initial tour of 1998.
Looking back on the history of Newcastle's PITFALL with frontman Luke Dolan and guitarist Rod Ellem. Pitfall were one of the first straight edge melodic youth crew bands in Australia.
In 2004, Perth band MILES AWAY dropped their landmark "Make It Count" EP. This release well and truly put Perth on the Australian hardcore map and laid the foundation for one of the most internationally successful Australian hardcore bands the world has ever seen.
