House Vs. Hurricane

"One of us went up and was like, ‘Hey, we’re in a band from Australia, we’re recording an album, and we were wondering if we could use your portrait for our album’. She was like, ‘Umm... yeah, okay’. She was a bit weirded out, but it was cool.”

“It feels like a second chance for us... The last album didn’t do so well."

40 Deep kicks off their new album Crooked Teeth.

They're bringing UK's While She Sleeps along for the new album's tour.

Melbourne's House Vs. Hurricane are now well established as one of Australia's biggest hardcore/metal bands. They didn't get there without a lot of hardwork, establishing a recognisable and unique sound and supporting it with near constant touring. They now have 2008's Forfeiture EP and their 2010 debut album, Perspectives under their belt and are currently writing the follow-up. Vocalist Chris Dicker spoke to Kill Your Stereo about writing new material, the departure of long-term keyboardist Joey Fragione and where you can find the best coffee in Melbourne.

Since their formation in 2006 House Vs Hurricane have worked hard to become a household name in Australian heavy music. With an acclaimed EP under their belt, the release of their debut album "Perspectives" earlier this year and a schedule of intense touring nationwide, HVH are on the up and up. Bassist Dylan Stark caught up with us to talk about being regular dudes and life on the road.

 Melbourne's House vs Hurricane have just released their debut album Perspectives on Shock Records, Guitarist Ryan McLerie was kind enough to answer a few questions for our readers.
