The Amity Affliction have managed to snatch number one position in the ARIA charts on the week of release for their new album Let the Ocean Take Me.

Sydney’s Thy Art Is Murder will tour the country once more this December, arriving in Melbourne to play a couple of shows just as the summer kicks off. Catch them on Saturday December 13 at The Hi-Fi and then the Ringwood Community Centre on Sunday December 14. Tickets are up for grabs now.
Gold Coast hardcore band Prepared Like a Bride have announced their Pay What You Wish tour this winter.

They’re asking fans to bring a blow up pool toy, just to hammer it home that winter is here.
