The return of ๐๐ก๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ก in recent years came at the most perfect of times for fans around the world.
What began as a one-off show in 2018 supporting Underoath in the U.S. soon led to a full-blown official return from the Floridian group, with new musical inspiration leading ๐๐ก๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ก to return to the studio in 2020.
Pandemic aside, ๐๐ก๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ก remained undeterred when it came to powering through and seeing out the process of making new music. The two EPs that resulted โ 2022โs ๐๐๐ก๐ซ๐๐ง๐ก๐๐ฃ๐ and 2023โs ๐พ๐ค๐ฃ๐ซ๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ โ doubled up as fitting pay off records for long-time fans, as well as the perfect introduction to new fans.
Joining ๐๐ก๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ก will be longtime friends and special guests ๐๐๐ช๐ง๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ง๐ฆ and ๐ง๐๐ ๐ช๐ข๐ฅ๐ ๐๐๐๐ฉ๐!
๐๐๐ช๐ง๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ง๐ฆโ fusion of post-rock, emo has seen the band embrace myriad influences since audiences were first introduced to them back with their debut, ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ก๐๐ฃ๐๐ ๐๐ฃ ๐ฝ๐ก๐๐๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐๐ฉ๐, in 2004. Recent years have seen ๐๐๐ช๐ง๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ง๐ฆ enjoy a reaffirming resurgence, with the 2021 album ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ฃ ๐
๐ช๐จ๐ฉ ๐๐ค๐ก๐ก๐ค๐ฌ๐จ ๐๐ bringing the four piece back to the top of the emo world delighting many long time and new fans alike.
Similarly, ๐ง๐๐ ๐ช๐ข๐ฅ๐ ๐๐๐๐ฉ๐ have also flourished in recent times, courtesy of rejuvenated and vividly arranged and executed music that has confirmed their talented dynamic. The Phoenix, Arizona metalcore group returned to radars everywhere in August this year with the release of their seventh studio record, ๐๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐จ๐๐ฉ โ the bandโs first album in three years. Bold sounds fused with widened perspectives and observations on the human condition, ๐ง๐๐ ๐ช๐ข๐ฅ๐ ๐๐๐๐ฉ๐ redefined themselves in 2023 for a new chapter.
A lineup perfectly curated for Australian fans, summer 2024 is bringing ๐๐ก๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ก back Down Under in a big way. Be part of a defining moment in the ๐๐ก๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ก story, and give Stephen Christian the sendoff he deserves โ this tour is not to be missed!
