After their new album Node debuted at #1 on the ARIA charts this week, Northlane have wasted no time announcing a national tour in support of the release. They’ll tour the country with August Burns Red, Like Moths To Flames, Buried In Verona and Ocean Grove. It’s a hell of a bill and one that’s likely to sell out Melbourne’s 170 Russell pretty quickly. Hurry if you want tickets to the Friday November 6 (18+) and Saturday November 7 (U18) shows.
Pennywise also had no problem selling out 170 Russell and have announced a second show for their About Time 20th Anniversary Tour. Catch the second and final Melbourne show on September 29. Anti-Flag will be supporting.
Melbourne three-piece Have/Hold have been in the studio recording their debut album King Salt, which is scheduled for an August 18 release via Never Home Records.

Tony Lovato, singer of pop punk band Mest, is in Australia and offering songwriting workshops while he’s here. He’s also playing some acoustic shows supported by Something With Numbers’ Jake Grigg and Hey Reckless. Curiously, there have been no Melbourne shows scheduled.

Totally out of nowhere, Hand Of Mercy have split up. The band announced the shitty news early this week saying, “We’ve been Hand Of Mercy 2005-2015. It’s been real. Thank you all for the support over the years. See you in the pit”. Their upcoming tour with Buried In Verona (spanning most of September) will be their last, so you best purchase tickets for the September 18 show at Evelyn Hotel.
