MUNICIPAL WASTE finally announce their triumphant and probably somewhat inebriated return to Australia shores for the first time since 2013!

Formed in Richmond, Virginia, Thrash Metal Crossover party dudes Municipal Waste rose from the salty remains of a New Years Eve Keg Party in 2000/2001, in which they were later blamed for inciting a minor riot. MUNICIPAL WASTE have uncompromisingly stuck to their guns for over 20 years as the hard-partying and even harder-hitting torchbearers of 21st Century Crossover Thrash Metal. After staggering on to the scene with their 2003 debut album Waste ‘Em All, MUNICIPAL WASTE have transformed from a cult favourite into metal mainstays for a generation by reviving the Thrash scene.

MUNICIPAL WASTE are 7 albums (and a string of EP’s) deep into a career that shows no slowing down, no matter how hard they party, in fact if anything their career is on an upward trajectory! Among their many highlights, Metal Hammer christened 2007’s The Art of Partying one of “The 50 Greatest Thrash Metal Albums Ever,” whilst 2017’s Slime and Punishment crashed in the Top 3 of the Billboard Heatseekers Albums Chart, along the way they have also sold-out countless shows on multiple continents and piled up tens of millions of streams in the process.

Tony Foresta [vocals], Ryan Waste [guitar], Philip “Landphil” Hall [bass], Dave Witte [drums], and Nick Poulos [guitar] promise to deliver an uncompromising, beer drenched, sweat inducing, high-octane audio-visual extravaganza while their relentless riffage, infectious energy will ensure the pit is whipped into a frenzy!

“We hope you walk away with some bloody ears, blown speakers, pi*sed off parents, black eyes, and a healthy distrust of authority,” says Tony.

Australian fans will be able to shake off the Winter blues and jump head-first into one of the year’s biggest parties as MUNICIPAL WASTE heat up Australia in July! Cheers!

Starting in Melbourne, the captivating live show will then head to Castlemaine, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart and Brisbane, before finishing up in the band’s hometown, Sydney.

There is a question at the heart of Faith Crisis Pt 1, the third album from Sydney’s emotive indie trio Middle Kids. Over 13 propulsive, ecstatic and gorgeous tracks, songwriter and vocalist Hannah Joy attempts to tease out the question of belief; the breaking of it, and how it is rebuilt.

Co-produced by Tim Fitz and Jonathan Gilmore (The 1975, Beabadoobee), Joy and bandmates Fitz and Harry Day masterfully express the sensation of being overwhelmed, swept up and dragged down in songs that exalt and lift you higher.

Featuring a collaboration with Gang of Youths frontman Dave Le’aupepe, Faith Crisis Pt 1 is brimming with yearning, angst, pop brightness, belief in love and reassurance that even from the bottom, it’s possible to believe in beautiful things.

Middle Kids’ last album Today We’re The Greatestwon Best Rock Album at the 2021 ARIA Awards. Released at the height of the pandemic, the album garnered the band several US TV show performances including Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and The Late, Late Show with James Cordon.

Middle Kids first gained attention in 2017 with their debut single, ‘Edge Of Town’and their debut album, Lost Friends, which won Triple J’s Best Australian Album Award in 2018. The success of their albums has also earned the band an international touring profile which has included supporting shows with the likes of Bloc Party, Kings of Leon, War on Drugs and Cold War Kids and festivals such as The Governors Ball, Lollapalooza, Osheaga Festival and many m

Bringing the noise firmly back in 2024, Australian behemoths ALPHA WOLF will embark on an Australian headline tour this August.

Never ones to do anything by halves, ALPHA WOLF have relentlessly sharpened their trademark intensity against the odds over the years, from releasing their critically-acclaimed sophomore album A Quiet Place To Die amid the pandemic in 2020, to releasing a split EP, The Lost & The Longing, with Welsh rockers Holding Absence in 2022, and, as of 2024, ferociously approaching their third full-length album Half Living Things, due out on Friday 5 April via Greyscale Records and SharpTone Records.

From being continents apart, an online friendship is about to cement itself as a steamer of a party. The UK’s Duskus and Eora native Willo are set to fire up the boilers for a B2B cook-up never seen before in Eora & Naarm.

Influenced profoundly by the visual elements of the great outdoors, Duskus will transform the dance floor into a playground of rich 4×4 house, accompanied by blood-and-thunder kicks and warm melodies. Meanwhile, Willo’s going to back it up with the fruits of her inspiration, hanging a warbling baseline over nostalgic-house style beats to keep you glued to the floor.

A match made in heaven, this B2B ain’t gonna miss!

Bringing the party to a boil, underground royalty – DjRUM will be turning anything he touches into gold whilst he infuses the early hours of the night with his fusion of contemporary dance music. 

The concoction of energy will continue to brew with Batu’s dizzying run of latin club rhythms, abyssal electro and low end techno. To cap off the final AFTER DARK, Netherlands biggest dance exports, CARISTA (United Identities – Utrecht/NL) who’s raw energy will magnetise your feet to the dance floor until the early hours of the morning.

All’s fair in love and poetry…
