Adam Coyle from Ill Briagde / Vigilante, has started up a new record label, URBN RAGE to release an awesome looking Australian Hardcore compilation LP, featuring 19 of the country's finest bands called "Split Scene".

True road warriors, the members of WARBRINGER have lived their lives in a van together for months on end, playing an average of 300 shows a year since the release of their debut album, War Without End, in 2008. In the process they have  shared the stage with such metal stalwarts as Exodus, Megadeth, Napalm Death, Hatebreed, Testament, Obituary, Kreator & more. Now they are coming to Australia.

One of melodic hardcore's leading forces, Ignite is pleased to announce the release of their first ever live DVD, Our Darkest Days Live. The DVD will be released on June 19 via Century Media. Check out the newly released teaser.

Clarity Records is excited to announce the release of the debut album from WEIGHTLESS titled Self-Adjustment on CD, LP and Digital formats. Following a series of small run of self released demos and tapes, the album Self-Adjustment was recorded by Matt Hills in 2011 and will be released on July 13, 2012.

Rival Schools, Restorations, The Smith Street Band, A Death in The Family, Extortion, Luca Brasi, I Exist, Hoodlum Shouts, Grim Fandango, Jamie Hay, Jen Buxton, Paper Arms, Milhouse and stacks more have been announced for the POISON CITY WEEKENDER, Sept 14th to 16th.

Everything is coming up Melbourne of late. Sommerset reunion shows, a Break Even final show, a Mindsnare show this weekend and now a side show from Strike Anywhere, who are out here with Anti Flag and The Flatliners in a few weeks.

After being a band for over 6 years, BREAK EVEN are coming to a end and calling it a day. Their final six shows have been finalised, with the addition of a Melbourne show.

The Bitter End / BLKOUT tour kicks off tonight in Brisbane. Tomorrow's all ages show set for Brisbane is now at The CWA Hall in Ipswich. A Central Coast show has also been added on Tuesday May 22 at Oasis.

To the uninitiated, Burning Love is a group from Toronto, Canada with a chip on their shoulder and electric blood in their veins; their output a desperate, venomous and informed rock n' roll fury that sways and swaggers somewhere between hardcore punk and the darker side of blues gone wrong. 

Now defunct Brisbane band, The Gifthorse have just released two unheard of tracks for free download via Soundcloud. Members of the band went on to form the also now broken up Fires Of Waco and the still going strong, Headaches.
