GALLOWS will bring a genuine slab of working class anarchy to Soundwave this February and we are stoked to announce they will be performing two sidewaves with very special guests SHAI HULUD, CONFESSION and MILESTONES.

GALLOWS are finally ready to unleash the next phase of their punk rock attack on the world with the highly-anticipated release of their follow-up to 2009’s ‘Grey Britain’. Their new self-titled album “silences any doubters with a curb stomp of gritty punk rock – making this a true continuation of the band’s sneer attitude and angsty rebellion.” – Absolute Punk

With an air of terror GALLOWS proceed to hand deliver their caustic state-of-the-nation address to fans across the globe with a rage unheard of. Their sonic and physical wreckage leave crowds in awe “with a live performance that, in terms of sheer energy and passion, out-strips any band you care to mention.” – Rockworld

A message from SHAI HULUD…”It’s the heart that pumps the blood, not the face. The heart of Shai Hulud is its content. This remains consistent, rest assured. Faces come and go. Dust off our backs, and onward…”

SHAI HULUD have returned to the forefront of a scene they helped create. While the current “metalcore” climate has a blueprint that was co-authored by SHAI HALUD, the band isn’t content to rest on past triumphs. They remain more vital, essential and relevant than ever and are pushing their sound and the scene forward.

CONFESSION and MILESTONES have been selling out rooms and wreaking havoc across Australia for years. We are thrilled they are joining this killer bill!

Also announced are sideshows for FUCKED UP...

FUCKED UP have the most perfect name for any band in rock history. In two words it bluntly states the truth that lies at the heart of the white noise maelstrom – things are different from what you expect.

Despite having toured the world over for nearly a decade, FUCKED UP keep to intimate venues to give fans the chance to turn the place into one giant stomping ground! However, this also means that their shows sell out in no time! “Few bands today can match Fucked Up’s electrifying stage presence… Bodies collided and flew into the walls of more timid onlookers; but there was no violence felt, no desire to hurt one another. For all its musical aggression, Fucked Up’s show is a positive experience.” – Clash Music

“Sometimes writhing with anger like Metallica, sometimes ambient and illusive like Sigur Ros and sometimes simply satisfying rock, O’Brother excel at being unique.” – Relate Mag

To become immersed in the world of O’BROTHER you need to take the time to get lost in their sprawling debut full-length, ‘Beneath The Garden Window’.  As it unfolds, it takes in every unexpected—and often harrowing—stylistic turn. It’s powerful and passionate approach makes it an engaging, dense record.

If music is the echo of an invisible world then Casey Crescenzo, mastermind behind THE DEAR HUNTER, has found a way to capture the ineffable through his craft.

THE DEAR HUNTER now proudly presents ‘The Colour Spectrum’ a nine-EP volume of music that is rife with passion, poignancy, and powerful imagery. Its vast scope and daring premise belie the often simplistic messages found in Casey’s words; those of hope, love, faith, fear, death, life, and even afterlife.
