Knuckle Puck and Roam Touring Oz This Summer

Pop punk fans are in for a real treat, with Chicago’s Knuckle Puck teaming up with the UK’s Roam for a massive Aussie tour in the New Year.

After touring here with The Wonder Years, the dates will give Knuckle Puck their first chance to headline some Aussie shows. It’s only fitting, with their sophomore album Shapeshifter due in stores on October 13. The album features the awesome lead single “Gone,” which I’ve had cranked up loud this morning. It’s the only way to hear it!

Roam are also in fine form after recently touring with Sum 41, Simple Plan, and Against the Current, as well as impressing festival goers at Download to Slam Dunk and Warped.

The shows will give fans who missed out on those Unify Gathering tickets a chance to see these great bands doing what they do best. Tickets are on sale now.

New Zealand’s Shapeshifter Travelling to Oz

After impressing at this year’s Glastonbury and Big Chill Festivals, New Zealand’s dub-soul outfit Shapeshifter are turning their attentions to our shores.

They’re largely unknown here, but you might have seen them on our shores as part of the Parklife and Big Day Out festivals in years gone by. The Kiwis have released four albums, and the three most recent shot to number one on New Zealand’s indie album charts. Their Aussie tour will celebrate the release of the new single “Twin Galaxies,” which has one of the most incredible music videos I’ve seen in some time.

After producing so much well-received music and playing such high profile shows in their native New Zealand and abroad, you can expect Shapeshifter to perform like a well-oiled machine when they touch down in October.

28 October –Heavyweight Soundz @ Metro City, Perth
29 October – Forum, Melbourne
4 November – The Hi Fi, Brisbane
5 November – Metro, Sydney
