Band: St James Sirens 

Give us a short description of your music: Progressive rock mostly, but we don't tend to stick to one genre. I guess we could be categorised as "DjentTool". 

What is the best thing that's happened to you/your band so far? Early on we came second in the National Campus Band Comp state final which we were stoked with. Recently would be our third release Fallen Empires, which we have just finished tracking. 

Has the party side of the music industry been all you were hoping for so far in your career? Fo sho. The best part has been playing alongside and meeting new bands. It makes the afterparties killah. 

What industry lessons would you like to take away from WAMFest? WAMFest is great, it showcases the diverse range of music that WA has to offer. Looking forward to seeing how the local music community works together to promote this growing industry! 

What acts are you looking forward to checking out at WAMFest? Looking forward to seeing all the bands we are playing with Dead End Brawler, Fight The Morning, Foxton Kings and September Sun. Also Tempest Rising put on an awesome show.

Why should people come and see you from amongst the many cool bands at WAMFest? We try to write songs with maximum riffage. Who wouldn't want to see that?

When and where is your WAMFest gig? 4 Nov, Railway Hotel
