Villainy Announce Aussie Shows

Kiwi rockers Villainy have been dominating across the ditch, selling out shows and shooting to number four on the charts with their new album Dead Sight, which features the ballsy new single “Safe Passage.” Now it’s time for Australia to see what the buzz is all about.

Villainy will join our own Jerrico and Sydonia for shows in the major capitals this November. This is the first time the quartet’s been in Australia since Bigsound in 2013, and who knows how long it’ll be before they make it to our shores again. If you like your music loud, make sure you don’t miss these shows.

13 November 2015 – The Zoo, Brisbane
14 November 2015 – Factory Theatre, Marrickville (with Majora)
20 November 2015 – Prince Bandroom, St Kilda (with Majora and Gatherer)
21 November 2015 – Jive Bar, Adelaide (with Colibrium and Baltimore Poet. Sydonia now appearing)

Sydonia Give Fans New Album Sneak Peek on East Coast Tour

After rocking music lovers with their sophomore album Reality Kicks in 2014, Melbourne’s Sydonia are set to do it all again with number three.
The band are still writing and working on the preproduction for the release, but word is that this one is sounding harder, heavier, and faster than anything we’re heard from Sydonia before. We should see a single released late in the year before the finished product hits stores in early 2016.

If that’s sounding like an age away, then make sure you get yourself along to one of Sydonia’s shows this autumn. They’ll take songs from that forthcoming release in embryonic form up and down the East Coast, so this will be fans first chance to hear what’s coming next. The final Melbourne show will also help the band fundraise for a trip to the United States around May, so make sure you get along to show your support.

19 February 2015 – Colonial Hotel, Melbourne
20 March 2015 – The Hi-Fi, Brisbane
21 March 2015 – Grand Hotel, Gladstone
27 March 2015 – The Basement, Canberra
28 March 2015 – Factory Floor, Sydney
18 April 2015 – John Curtin Hotel, Melbourne

Sydonia Releases “Reality Kicks” Ahead of Album Launch

Melbourne metal act Sydonia have offered us a taste of their long awaited new album with the release of the title track “Reality Kicks.” It’s a suitably epic number which gets us in the mood for the long-player, scheduled to hit stores on February 7.

The band’s rewarding fans for their patience, releasing the physical album as a CD/DVD combo. Digital versions of the album and DVD will also be available via iTunes.

“The album is the culmination of a bunch of years of hard work, sweating the small stuff and always with the loyal fans and friends we have made over the years in mind. This record is something we are intensely proud of,” said Dana Roskvist. “The DVD is our big thank you to our fans – there’s some pretty unique and once-only footage in there and it’s nice to share those unique experiences with everyone now.”

Sydonia will give us time to get acquainted with Reality Kicks before touring the country during May and June.
