You know you’ve witnessed a rock and roll event when you fear for the safety of the performers on stage. Axe Girl’s , front woman, Addison, performs as if her very existence depends on it. From the moment she steps up to the mic and the band rumbles into motion behind her, she’s transported, visiting us from another world. A reality where the only thing that counts is the intensity and urgency of the performance. When Axe Girl perform, expect to see jaws drop; audiences that weren’t sure what they were about to witness rush the stage to get closer; people compelled to movement. Axe Girl are the authentic item and they mesmerise audiences like few bands can. Hailing from Fremantle, Western Australia, where it’s long been known that some kind of magic periodically releases to the world a band of unique majesty, Axe Girl are in good company. And they’re that good, nay great, that it’s not a stretch to say that they’re next in line to be taking their own version of the Fremantle sound to the world. On top of their incandescent live show, Axe Girl have a swag of songs cast in their own original mould — yet almost instantly familiar — that will open any doors they want to step through.

‘Boom! …blistering guitar chords, driving bass lines and explosive belting vocals …if you like fast paced rock and punchy songs, Axe Girl are for you’ TONE DEAF

‘Axe Girl offering up some zero-shits-given rock and it’s well tasty.’ Dave Ruby Howe, TRIPLE J

‘Anthemic, tongue-in-cheek pop-rock awesomeness’ X-PRESS

‘These cats earn the ear worm award for Give Me Your Tee Shirt which has had constant rotation in my head, aided by the rip-your-heart-out cuteness and vocal prowess of lead singer Addison’ X-PRESS

‘Explosive feminine vocals of Axe, reminiscent of Metric’s Emily Haines or Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.’ AMNPLIFY

‘(The) mix of pop-punk infused bubblegum is an absolute delight …highly addictive’ DESERT HIGHWAYS

Statues is a progressive hardcore band from Perth, Western Australia.
Since their foundation in 2009, Statues has become renowned for their extremely high energy live shows, treating everything and everyone as a part of the performance.

In 2015, Statues released their debut record, “Together We’re Alone” to fantastic critical reception, Sputnik Music described it as “mind-blowing in both craziness and shear heaviness.”

After releasing the line-up’s debut single “Dogswamp” the band knuckled down to write what would become their most ambitious work to date. “No Grave, No Burial” is a concept album set in the heart of a civil war, the character must find safety by leaving his home. To escape he must lose loved ones, battle his own demons, face who took all he knows and uncover a horrific truth at the end of his struggles. He fights to find freedom, only to uncover further persecution and a bleak reality.

The debut single and title track tells the story of sudden loss through conflict and horrific circumstance. To survive, the character must reluctantly leave their loved one behind and begin to grieve without closure. Musically the track sets the tone of the record, dark and foreboding but progressive and deep. Statues explore a new direction, whilst maintaining a strong connection to their roots that has made them known as one of the premier live bands in Australian heavy music, sharing stages with the likes of Northlane, Norma Jean, Every Time I Die, Stray from the Path and Touché Amoré.

Lineup:
Alex Shom – Vocals
Scott Kay – Guitar
Matthew Templeman – Bass
John Overthrow – Guitar
Matt Unkovich – Drums

We’re stoked to announce that Beardfoot has added Osaka Punch to our roster. The Brisbane boys are one of the most unique acts in Australia and their live show is just wild. National tour dates promoting their next single are just around the corner so stay tuned for more info in the coming weeks.

Whilst we’re sharing good news, Osaka Punch is touring nationally with The Butterfly Effect in March 2018 alongside Melbourne mates Rival Fire. All but two shows are sold out, but if you’re in WA it’s not too late to get your tix. Move quickly! TIX HERE: http://www.thebutterflyeffectband.com.au/

Over the last 9 years, Osaka Punch has forged a reputation as one of Australia’s most wildly entertaining live acts. The group’s distinctive fusion of catchy grooves, jazz chops and a rock ethos sets them apart from most heavy acts and allows an element of humour and satire in an otherwise very serious scene. Reviewers have been keen to emphasise the crowd-captivating live antics of both the outfit and it’s charismatic and ceaselessly energetic front man, Jack ‘Muzak’ Venables.

2016 was a strong year for the band. They released 2 singles and the album ‘Death Monster Super Squad’, which was met with critical acclaim and airplay on Triple J, Triple M, and various local radio stations around the country. Combine that with some epic support slots with Dead Letter Circus, The Fall of Troy, and Closure in Moscow, and it’s easy to see why the buzz is growing so swiftly around Osaka Punch.

2017 kicked off to a flying start with 2 tours along the East Coast supporting Lagerstein and Twelve Foot Ninja. This raised their profile in NSW, SA, and Victoria, and further established their loyal following in their hometown of Brisbane. They scored a Top 10 Buzz Band title at the 2017 BIGSOUND conference before hitting the road on a national headlining tour launching their latest single “How We Operate”. In March 2018 they’re touring nationally with The Butterfly Effect.

Having toured Australia, the UK and Scandinavia over the past 5 years, Osaka Punch has honed their live set to a fine art. This, combined with well-crafted songs and world class musicianship, makes Osaka Punch one of Australia’s must see live acts.

Testimonials

“Bodies were flying around the stage and sending the crowd into a frenzy, but not a single sound was out of place.”
“Normally, you either see a band rule the stage with their energy and charisma… or you see a tight, refined band. Somehow, Osaka Punch pulled off both”
“The vibe was infectious and spread to every single person in the audience, as their heavy grooves and pop melodies vibrated the floors.”
AAA Backstage

“These guys are just one of the coolest funky-arse rock bands I’ve ever seen!”
Heavy Mag

“Osaka Punch is a pop-metal-bastard-fun-daughter. I admire the concept of a band loyal to neither genre, awesome at both, and not giving a f*ck.”
Scenestr

“A rollicking hit of soul-melting groove… with just the right touch of heaviness to start a decent mosh.”
Blunt

“An eclectic mix of Faith No More, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Incubus, just with heavier riffs, smoother pop melodies, and a teeny tiny bit of prog thrown in for good measure”
Killyourstereo.com

“Their progressive/funk/everything fusion had the crowd bopping and bouncing along like it was the world’s biggest hoedown”
“There was not one moment where the infectious talents of the band didn’t have the crowd singing along, in hysterics, or a combination of both”
“Osaka Punch put on one hell of a show, and not for those who enjoy their music, but for those who enjoy music in general.”

So incredibly pleased to announce Beardfoot has teamed up with The Siren Tower as they emerge from the studio with
announcements of new tunes and shows in 2017. Groups of this calibre don’t just turn up out of thin air, and we all know that. The Siren Tower is a young band, but one formed by seasoned musicians, players from diverse and decorated backgrounds in the West Australian music scene. Their collective experience runs deep, and in addition to front man Grant McCulloch’s voice, The Siren Tower’s ability to produce on record and stage is undeniable. Their 2012 full length release A History Of Houses is distinctly and unmistakably Australian. The country and culture that The Siren Tower celebrates in story and song has both dignity and conscience in tact. It is an Australia of Indigenous, convict and immigrant history alike, because that is the truth of things, and the truth always makes for a better story.
