Joining them on the Stairway to Hell Tour will be WE ARE THE OCEAN and HOPELESS. WE ARE THE OCEAN hail from London, and are making their first visit to Australian shores, promoting the release of their debut album “Cutting Our Teeth”, which is out in November 2009. They will support The Used on their UK tour in September, and have recently made a name for themselves on a plethora of UK festivals, including DOWNLOAD FEST 2009. Their current self titled EP is out now via iTunes.


Although a new and young band, HOPELESS are an integral part of the growth of modern day Australian hardcore. Hailed by some as one of the best new up and coming bands in recent years, HOPELESS are consistently growing and reaching new heights of intrigue with their brand of bleak, reflective and naively optimistic brand of hardcore. Their debut album “Dear World” was tracked in Australia and mixed in the States by Jay Mass (Carpathian, Verse, Shipwreck AD) and is in stores now.
