Kill Your Stereo

In honour of International Women’s Day falling the same week as The Faction’s ‘Hardest 100’ countdown, let’s take a moment to shine a light on all the women who graced our countdown this year. 17 songs from our 100 had a female presence. For the first time ever, our number one track had not one, but TWO female vocalists. Let’s break it down & celebrate these women by starting from number 100 & working our way up to number 1!

"It'll be a performance - I think we're really coming into our own with the sound - we've been able to grow as musicians over time. The backdrop is gonna be sick we have Luke, the guitarist of Tapestry, doing our lighting design and he is a weapon. We have some cool stuff and we get to play new stuff so I am very excited to see how that translates and how really view these new songs"

"The three releases were, kind of, Trophy Eyes' way of being able to stay active during a lockdown. We kind of put them out for a bit of fun really - it was for us to kind of stay sane and a little bit of fun during otherwise a pretty dismal few years."

"When you wake up to an immediate meeting about potentially canceling the show you’re trying to get to, you know it’s gonna be a day."

Friday night at Reunion Park in Melbourne was a night to remember. The stacked lineup included Mirrors, Justice For The Damned, Alpha Wolf & headliners, Polaris, who showed every attendee why they have catapulted to the top. HUGE doesn't even begin to cover this festival sized event & lineup. Fans were not left disappointed & no one would be mad about being able to re-live this night over.
