BEERWOLF “COMMON GRIEF” OUT NOW

Beerwolf formed in Redfern in 2016 mostly as an excuse to hole up at the pub opposite the hallowed Troy Horse studios (RIP). The bands new record, Common Grief provides a somewhat more sour washdown of society as a whole. The internationally accepted Beerwolf recipe combines 30ml classic Nitro Records energy, 15ml of Jade Tree melody and 60ml of Bridge Nine aggression.

POLARIS “FATALISM” OUT NOW

Equally steeped in angst alongside underlying catharsis, an expanded thematic gaze and heavier sonic terrain, Fatalism organically builds on the bleak imagery and hard-hitting soundscapes permeating Polaris’s ARIA Award-nominated 2020 release The Death of Me. But rather than wallow or stagnate, Fatalism instead powerfully holds up a proverbial mirror while also galvanizing the Sydney five-piece’s trademark blend of melodic metalcore, lush post rock, electronic flourishes and beyond.

Polaris will launch their new album Fatalism this September with a national headline tour alongside August Burns Red, Kublai Khan TX and Currents, with the tour’s Perth, Adelaide, Newcastle and Brisbane shows sold out, before embarking on an international run supporting While She Sleeps in the UK and Europe, performing at Aftershock 2023 and kicking off a North American headline run in October.

POLARIS ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM “FATALISM”

Fear: humanity’s great divider, but also its most potent unifier. It’s this very notion that lies at the beating core of Polaris’s third album Fatalism; a record shaped by the sense of despair and dystopia that engulfed the world over the past few years, and the overwhelming accompanying sensation that we were powerless to change course.

Due out on September 1 via Resist Records in Australia and SharpTone Records for the rest of the world, Fatalism features brand new single, Inhumane, accompanied by the band’s most ambitious and goriest music videos to date.

Catch them on the “FATALISM AUSTRALIAN TOUR” this September with August Burns Red, Kublai Khan and Currents. Early Bird tickets go on-sale Tuesday 6 June @ 10am AEST

alt. ANNOUNCE DEBUT ALBUM ABEYANCE

Due out on Friday 16 June via Resist Records in Australia, and SharpTone Records for the rest of the world, ABEYANCE will feature the group’s recent singles THE GREAT DEPRESSION and WRAITH, as well as a brand new track A.D.D, a futuristic and, at times, industrial wormhole that flits between crystalline calm and stadium-ready, scathing arrangements.

Working on ABEYANCE alongside Marcus Bridge (Northlane), Landon Tewers (The Plot In You), Zach Britt (Dream On, Dreamer) and Trenton Woodley (Hands Like Houses), producer Callan Orr also returned after his work on alt.’s 2020 debut EP dysfunctional.

JACOB “NOT ONLY WHEN YOU’RE LONELY” OUT NOW

Beloved steel-city 5-piece Jacob have released their first single since 2019 with the nostalgia-fuelled, pop-punk anthem “Not Only When You’re Lonely”.

Hailing from the NSW cities of Newcastle and Wollongong, Jacob have amassed a strong fanbase across the country since the bands inception in 2013, releasing two LPs thus far, Jacob (2016) and Show Me Some Passion (2018). The band have also been lucky enough to support the likes of Turnover (US) , Turnstile (US), Tigers Jaw (US), Against Me! (US) and The Get Up Kids (US), as well as tour with Luca Brasi and Joyce Manor (US).

“Not Only When You’re Lonely” has all the elements of a Jacob tune fans have come to know and love over the years; catchy-yet-chaotic vocal melodies coming from every direction, tongue-in-cheek lyrics that ef­fortlessly flow between satire and hopeless romanticism, and an infectious, full bodied sound that always leaves you coming back for more. Although the band still have one foot firmly in Emo territory,  Not Only When You’re Lonely  certainly creeps further towards the pop end of the punk spectrum, with an upbeat, explosive tone reminiscent of the early 2000s sound the band grew up with.
