Define your genre in five words or less:
Doom-core.
So, someone is walking past as you guys are playing, they then go get a beer and tell their friend about you… what do they say?
“Let’s go start a circle pit.”
How long have you been gigging and writing?
About a year and half with a few months gap in the middle.
What has been your favourite gig you’ve played to date?
A friend Karl from Beerfridge in Margaret River organised a local festival last year with Perth and Southwest bands playing along side a mini ramp skate comp, dirt bikes, BMX and bikini model search.
Which band would you most like to have a battle/showdown with?
Not sure we really do showdowns. Just love playing heavy music alongside other rad bands.
What inspires or has influenced your music the most?
Bands like Witchcraft, Red Fang, The Sword, Baroness, Doomriders, and Black Sabbath have influenced the doomy side of things. But bands like Cancer Bats and Refused and a lot of ‘90s punk has shaped us as well.
Do you have any record releases to date? What? Where can I get it?
We are 3/4 the way through writing a full length album and hope to record late this year/early next year.
Why should everyone come and see your band?
So you can get your head nod on to groovy, doomy, heavy, hard hitting good times.
BLACKWITCH are playing The Brunswick Hotel on Saturday July 25 with Musclecar, Wolfpack, Laser Brains and Wing Attack Plan R.
