There For Tomorrow will be making their first trip to Australia next month as a part of the Soundwave Festival, as well as playing sideshows in Sydney and Melbourne with Sum 41, The Blackout and Veara. The band's front man Maika Maile answered a few questions for us about the tour, as well as their upcoming album.

Homelife and Bike Tuff have just teamed up to release a split 7" through Either/Or Records, and to change things up, the two bands have taken the time to ask each other a bunch of questions for us to read. 

Following their September Australian tour and just ahead of their upcoming Soundwave performances, we sat down with Michael "Moose" Thomas, drummer for thrash/metalcore legends Bullet For My Valentine.

Since 1994 (Hed)p.e's unique and eclectic blend of rap, punk and metal otherwise known as G-punk has attracted a devout following in the alternative music world. With their next Australian tour kicking off in late January, frontman Jared Gomes kindly chatted to us about everything music from Jamaican dancehall to Slayer.

Former Armor For Sleep front man Ben Jorgensen never made it down here to Australia during his time with the band, but he is about to make up for it by touring the country as a solo act. With the tour kicking off in Adelaide in a few days time, Ben took the time to answer a few questions for us about the upcoming tour, as well as his debut solo EP, "There Is Nowhere Left To Go".

New Jersey's True Things dropped their debut record "Alone In My Room" a few months ago though Man Overboard's Lost Tape Collective label, and cemented themselves as a band to keep your eye on in 2011. The band's front man James Corbi answered a few questions for us in his spare time.

Sydney Metal upstarts Resist The Thought have been laying waste to the Australian countryside with their well recieved Damnation release.  We catch up with guitarist Aaron to talk about their upcoming tour and extreme tour drivers.

Queensland metalcore outfit Wish For Wings have been steadily building a name for themselves in Australia and beyond since bursting out of the Brisbane scene around 7 years ago. Fresh off the back of a tour with Stick To Your Guns/First Blood and with a brand new studio release 'Echoes' recently dropping, we caught up with the bands bassist Aido Spinks for a few words.

Super-energetic Cincinatti genre-defyers Foxy Shazam are heading to Australia for the 2011 edition of Soundwave Festival. Ahead of their debut in our country, we caught up with their pianist Sky White to talk all things Foxy Shazam.

After doing a solid amount of touring in the last 12 months, including hitting Europe for the first time, Australia's kings of nu mosh metal Confession are currently writing for their second full-length album, to be recorded and released in 2011. The band will be ending their huge year by being a part of the massive No Sleep Til Festival, which is kicking off this weekend in Auckland. The band's front man and B grade reality TV star Michael Crafter answered a few questions for us.

In case you missed it, back in September Brisbane (and now Melbourne) based act Arrows dropped their fantastic second full-length "Try And Stay Upright", through Hobbledehoy Records, and did a run of dates across the country to launch its release. A few months on, we have caught up with the band's bassist Carl to discuss the new record and other things regarding the band.

La Dispute are already Michigan’s most interesting band and are quickly becoming the name on everybody’s lips. Their impressive and ever-expanding discography, featuring the recent split with their friends in Touche Amore, continues to turn heads and resonate with thinkers the world over. Having toured in 2009, the boys will return to Australia in early 2011 for a tour with Brisvegas’ own To The North. We caught up with La Dispute’s drummer Brad to talk Final Fantasy, abandoned houses and Tegan and Sara.
