Known for their spectacular live shows and rapacious anthemic songs, Story of the Year has always been willing to push boundaries. Coupled with this an unflagging work ethic for touring its no wonder the bands fanatical Australian fans have long awaited their return.
The band’s fifth studio album, ‘The Constant’, is unequivocally its finest, building on the strength of past accomplishments, combining the addictive choruses of their platinum selling album ‘Page Avenue’ and the ferocity of ‘In The Wake of Determination’ and ‘The Black Swan’. “With its driving guitars and massive choruses, The Constant is another brilliant album from Story of the Year” – All Music Guide
Joining Story Of The Year are Southern California quintet Saosin, one of the fastest-growing headliners in rock. Hailed as one of the most anticipated albums of 2009 by Alternative Press, ‘In Search Of Solid Ground’ is a remarkable step forward for the band. “Saosin’s spidery, riff-rocking attack is brawny and nuanced, and they know their way around a big chorus.” – Rolling Stone
In 2004 a five piece band from Phoenix, Arizona dug their heels into the dry desert sands and refused to relent. Blessthefall planted themselves amongst the chaos of competition with sweeping dreams and untainted visions. They quickly become known for their uninhibited personalities and eccentricities, including a love for llamas, hot tamales, and the Top Gun soundtrack. Blessthefall’s latest effort ‘Witness’ is further proof that they have arrived… “This album is ridiculous! Witness kicks so much ass that I’m convinced it was forged in a volcano”. – Sleeping Under The Subwoofer
Three bands sharing a reputation for amazing live performances… These shows will not simply constitute a tour, but a tour de force!
