El Alamein and Stockades National Tour – August 2012

Posted by Matt

Yay Skramz is back! Let's just preface this post with my bias that Stockades are one of the best bands going in Melbourne (especially since Agents of Abhorrence just lost their singer).

But also lets talk about Brisbane based skramz band El Alamein have just finishing recording their EP with Chris Brownbill. I'm going to assume they recorded this at Sun Distortion (same as Idylls, Palisade, Laeirs and most other bands who have released through Brissy label Monolith), it's getting mixed & mastered in Philadelphia by Joe Reinhart & Ryan Schwabe (Algernon Cadwallader, My Heart to Joy, Restorations). The EP will be coming out in August sometime, Hell Is Now Love is releasing it in New Zealand. Also touring with El Alamein is hype math kids Stockades, these guys are from the other end of Australia, hailing from West Fitzroy, ghetto as noodle rock experts. Stockades are helping revive the minor skramz resurgence over the last 6 months with the likes of Laeirs, Zita Grim etc. The tour starts in Radelaide on the 10th of August. Be there.10/8 – Adelaide

Jurrasic Penguin (NZ) and Wallow (Qld) Australian Tour – June 2012

Posted by Matt

Jurassic Penguin (NZ) decided in their trademark fashion to do something dumb with little thought and have now decided to move to Australia so we're doing some shows to get accustomed to our new country! Here are some dates they have thrown together over the past few months, we want to play as many shows as we can so have us play in your lounge/livingroom/bathroom please.

JP wish to introduce our fine nation to the Auckland’s displaced hardcore scene. The 5 piece play a blend of straight up and passionate DIY hardcore music for fans of Converge, Cursed, and Poison The Well. Supporting them for the trip will be noodle rock band Wallow, who are also heaps goods cunts from the Gold Coast and play emo pop music in the vein of American Football and hence every other Owen band throughout time.
Please like Jurassic Penguins page so they can overtake Parkway Drive and feel good about themselves and after that download their music to stick it to the law and feel good about yourself.
