FEST-MAS 2012 line up announced

Featuring Fat Wreck Chords five piece punk band Pour Habit all the way from Compton, California. These guys first appeared on Australian shores back in 2009 supporting label mates NOFX and punk rock heavyweights Bad Religion. Since then they have toured relentlessy at home and broad, releasing their critically acclaimed record 'Got Your Back' last year.'The album is loud, and fast, and with the exception of the two acoustic jam tracks it will kick you in the face from start to finish.' - Dyingscene.com

Drummer, Colin, summarises the bands recent fortunes... "Fat Mike ruined me and my brother's lives... If it wasn't for Fat Wreck Chords, I'd probably be working a steady job, but because of those bastards this is my life...".

Joining the bill in main support will be aggressive punk outfit, Anchors. Since garnishing positive reviews for their debut album release 'Bad Juju', these guys have managed to score slots on festivals like Soundwave and Pushover and supports with international touring bands such as After The Fall. Not to mention positive airplay from national radio network Triple J, Anchors have solidified themselves as one of Australia's finest indepedent acts. They release their highly anticipated second album 'Lost At The Bottom Of The World' this August.

'Amid a growing number of talented Australian bands around at the moment, Melbourne punk outfit Anchors is leading the pack.'
