TOY BOATS ANNOUNCE DEBUT ALBUM
The brainchild of Byron-born prodigy Hugo Costin-Neilsen, Toy Boats sprang to life in 2009 as an acoustic-based solo deal but has blossomed into something much greater. Evidence of this can be heard on Toy Boats’ forthcoming full-length debut, Wedding Town. Set for release in April via Resist Records, it’s the sound of a precocious young talent in full bloom.
Tender indie rock that packs a powerful emotional wallop, Wedding Town is fragile yet robust, heartfelt yet headstrong, understated yet wildly adventurous. Very few debut albums can claim to strike such a harmonious balance between innocence and sophistication.
Recorded in eight days at Melbourne’s Three Phase Studios with engineer / producer Sam Johnson (A Death In The Family), Wedding Town is imbued with a rich, full-band sound that wraps the listener in warm phonics and tranquil tones.
Wedding Town is due for release April 11th via Resist Records. Costin-Neilsen has recently assembled a five-piece band to launch the album with all the splendor needed, adding second guitarist Riley McEvoy and synth player Kelly Greenhalgh.
Catch Toy Boats April 18th at The Northcote Social Club, Melbourne to immerse yourself in the album live for the first time before they set out in July with UK’s Basement on an Australian wide tour.
Pre orders are now available for limited edition coloured vinyl.

LA DISPUTE ANNOUNCE AUSTRALIAN TOUR
Not many people make art for the sake of art anymore. In an age of dwindling attention spans and pop songs based on samples of what came before them, we need bands like La Dispute more than ever—and their third full-length Rooms Of The House is evidence of why.
Instores March 21, Rooms of the House, will be released on the bands newly established label, Better Living, licensed in Australia to Resist Records. Born with a greater intention than to simply release La Dispute’s own records, the band explains that their new label as “an outlet for creative expression, and as a way for both themselves and other artists to work together and give back to their respective communities. The label will operate in multiple forms of media; incorporating written, musical, and visual content, hoping to encourage collaboration between a variety of artists who are looking to impact their communities by supporting structures and organizations which are already making significant positive changes.”
To support the release of Rooms of the House, the band will be touring Australia this June. Joining La Dispute on all dates will be Balance And Composure. Tickets go on sale February 14.

SHACKLES ANNOUNCE DEBUT ALBUM “FORCED TO REGRESS”
Northern New South Wales tyrants of drear and isolation, Shackles, are a dark reminder that hard work often pays off. Stacking up a hefty catalogue of releases across the vinyl and tape formats in barely two years, prolific may be one word to describe the group; ferocious, vulgar, and barbaric may be others.
Combining elements of the late 80’s Californian Powerviolence scene with the early 90’s Death Metal/Grindcore movement as well as a few contemporary influences, the band have built one of the more unique approaches to hardcore to emerge from the region. With a solid touring regime funded entirely by the band themselves there is no denying Shackles are one of Australia’s hardest working young bands and you should expect much more from them over the next year.
Listen to “Blood And Bone” here
