Integrity - Australian tour

W/Supports tba

Known for being one of the most incendiary and influential bands in underground and modern metal history, apocalyptic icons INTEGRITY return with their highly anticipated, 12th studio album entitled Howling, For The Nightmare Shall Consume. A conceptual foretelling of the final days of Armageddon, Howling is a manifestation of pentecostal nightmares and religious depravities, wrought with fire and brimstone sermons and occult prophecies bathed in waves of destruction. Now with almost 30 years of creating dark and terrifying anthems under their belt, INTEGRITY have honored their past musical legacy while fearlessly moving forward into unchartered territory on what is undoubtedly their most elaborate and ambitious effort to date.

Teenage Bottlerocket (USA)

When: Thursday, May 7 at 8 PM, 18+

Teenage Bottlerocket (USA)

W/Supports TBA

Let's be honest. Teenage Bottlerocket has always been rad. Formed in Wyoming in 2000, they were rad when they released their debut album, Another Way, in 2003 and almost two decades - as the title of this eighth studio album suggests – they remain just as rad. Following on from 2017's Stealing The Covers – which, funnily enough, was a record of cover versions these 14 short, snappy and stylish punk songs are centered around the songwriting chops of guitarists/vocalists Ray Carlisle and Kody Templeman (who also fronts The Lillingtons) and overflow with Teenage Bottlerocket's typical mix of humor and poignancy, silliness and melancholy. But it's also the first album of original material that the band – completed by bassist Miguel Chen and drummer Darren Chewka - made following the death of former drummer and Ray's twin brother Brandon in 2015. May 2020 will see Teenage Bottlerocket return to our shores to show us how Rad their lives shows are.
