Kill Your Stereo

Maine's hardest hitting sons, Cruel Hand, return to Australia this June to show why they have been heralded as the future of hardcore. Last seen in Australia for the 2009 Hardcore Festival, Cruel Hand have grown into a force to be reckoned with. Their 2010 album, Lock & Key, has earned them the title of "one of the most important young bands waving the flag of East Coast hardcore". Taking equal influence from across all eras of hardcore and throwing in elements of thrash metal, Cruel Hand are a band that have made waves, impressing everyone in their path. Reminiscent of the likes of early Madball, Leeway and Suicidal Tendencies, all of these influences can be heard in Lock & Key. Produced by Jay Maas (Defeater, Shipwreck, Carpathian) and released by Bridge 9 Records last year, the album has earned them places on stage alongside everyone from Terror and Madball, to The Acacia Strain and Evergreen Terrace.

Under Soil And Dirt is an undeniably catchy affair, bursting with fist-pumping choruses, dynamic guitars and a propulsive rhythm section. Still, The Story So Far toes the line between hardcore and rock n' roll, all while making a clear statement about its u...

Dublin, Ireland based pop punk band Starters are one of the more interesting bands emerging from the genre at the moment. The band released their debut EP "Reasons To Stay" through City Of Gold Records at the end of last year, and toured the UK and Europe with Such Gold and Koji not long after.

After canceling their last tour in Australia, Mad Sin are set to give their loyal fans and psychobilly and rockabilly fans in general, a show not to forget.
