This April see’s NSW hardcore band MARK MY WORDS, teaming up with Victorian hardcore punks Declaration for an East Coast Australian tour. Taking in 6 states and territories (*Declaration only in TAS), both bands are set to turn the torch on the Australian hardcore scene by stringing together a run of shows in intimate venues, a move that is sure to ignite the old hardcore pride and passion in even the most jaded of old punks.

Born from a passion for fast, heavy hardcore, the Central Coast quartet MARK MY WORDS are a statement against those bands waving around the now trendy term ‘Hardcore’ and flaunt a style that echo’s back to days when the music was just a backdrop to the movement from which it came. On this tour the band is supporting the recently released full length “Indicators,” an album full of thought provoking, passionate hardcore, an album that showcases a style that can only be called their own, one which is set to cement their place in the Australian hardcore scene.

On their second release “Before It’s Too Late,” Melbourne’s DECLARATION have stepped up to the plate, have delivered another slab of what is becoming their own trademark mix of flat out hardcore punk. Fast beats, fast riffs, fist pumping group vocals and a healthy amount of bounce is what this band is all about. Never a band to be left waiting for something to happen, DECLARATION’s strong DIY ethic and can do attitude has seen them play shows nationwide supporting renowned hardcore and punk bands from Australia and abroad.
