Hailmary Announce New EP & Australian Tour April 2016
Hailmary have announced a new EP titled Evolve Disolve will be released on April 9 and they will be touring around the country in support.
Australia has produced some quality hard rock in the last 50 years and that honest, straight up no bulls##t rock n roll attitude is still prevalent and very much a part of today’s music scene.
