Wake The Dead released on February 22, 2005, quickly became a defining moment in the band’s career and helped shape the sound of an entire era. Produced and recorded by Bill Stevenson-the album left an indelible mark, influencing countless bands and cementing its place as a pivotal work in the evolution of hardcore punk.

Pennsylvania’s Gridiron will be making their debut visit to Australian shores, featuring members of Never Ending Game, Simulakra, and Scarab, Gridiron follow quite possibly the most unpredictable playbook in the game. Their hybridization of metal, hardcore, and hip-hop have enabled them to bulldoze their own path as a phenomenon sharing stages with everyone from Missing Link to Trapped Under Ice along the way.

‍‍Rounding out the tour will be Sydney’s Phantoms who will be in support of their latest Last Ride Records releases, the Hell Is Empty / All The Devils Are Here seven inches. Merging the groove of NYHC and aggression of thrash, Phantoms will have the pit moving while slowly losing your mind
