Pilerats Presents: At The Pile #1
Welcome to the first in our new party series.. A couple of weeks ago saw the announcement of Cosmo's Midnight upcoming national tour celebrating their latest single Snare, taking in a range of dates around the country, including a Perth show Saturday 7 March at Gilkisons Dance Studio.

Tour Announce: Stick To Your Guns
Californian hard hitters Stick To Your Guns are playing a bunch of dates in Australia.. Influential Californian hardcore outfit Stick To Your Guns are back with their fifth studio album Disobedient.  The heavily anticipated follow-up to 2012's Diamond is set for release tomorrow (10 February) and was recorded with legendary punk and hardcore producer John Feldmann (The Used, Saosin, We Came As Romans).  STYG released an animated lyric video late last year for the ferocious What Choice Did You Give Us? - a track showcasing a clear social and political agenda. If it’s anything to go by; the overall theme of the forthcoming album is going to be darker than what we’re used to from the traditionally positive five piece.
