Deborah Conway is a significant and eloquent contributor to Australian music, singing songs that chronicle the essential elements of life, love, loss, memory, the mundane and the spiritual. Restless and confounding, her powerful voice and presence has fascinated audiences for the past 30 years. A rare female agitator in a time when the music industry was male dominated; Conway continues to be a role model for young women and a mentor to emerging artists.

From the moment her band, Do Re Mi released the iconic Man Overboard, off their debut album Domestic Harmony in 1985, Conway has always followed her own path. The song was radically different to radio playlists, a rant on gender politics and without a chorus, yet it sat at the top of the charts and introduced her as a compelling force.

Willy’s first recorded appearance was with his band Tootieville on the Cooking With George Mark Too compilation record, released by radio station Triple J in 1985, though he had been spotted haunting Melbourne’s live music venues long before that. Tootieville followed this up with an album entitled Basic in 1990 that was The Age’s Green Guide album of the year.

He first appears in the Deborah Conway story (officially) on the credits of the Release Me single as co-performer of the live version of Will You Miss Me When You’re Sober.

Willy came into the limelight proper with the release of Bitch Epic in 1993. He co-wrote the record with Deborah & co-produced. The notes for the album simply say “thanks especially to Willy for always getting me across the bridge”.

Uncanny X-Men are known for their hits such as “The Party”, “How Do You Get Your Kicks?”, “50 Years” and “Everybody Wants to Work”.

Mannix is also known for his television work appearing as a regular on the ABC television quiz show Spicks and Specks. He was also a contestant on Channel 7’s Dancing with the Stars and appeared regularly on Australian cultural icon, Hey Hey it’s Saturday

Life of Agony emerged from the New York music scene in the early '90s with one of the most distinctive sounds in its genre. Best known for its 1993 metal/crossover debut "River Runs Red" (Roadrunner Records), named by Rolling Stone as being one of the "100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time" the band instantly built a die-hard, cult following. For over two decades, the group toured relentlessly all over the world, sharing stages with the biggest names in rock, including Metallica, Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne, Foo Fighters, and The Red Hot Chili Peppers. LOA went onto release two more studio albums for Roadrunner: "Ugly" ('95) and "Soul Searching Sun" ('97), before signing to major label Sony/Epic Records in 2005 to record "Broken Valley" with producer Greg Fidelman (Slipknot, Metallica). Life of Agony has sold over one million albums to date.

In 2017, LOA released its 5th studio album, titled "A Place Where There's No More Pain". Rolling Stone hailed it as "One of the Most Anticipated Albums of the Year" ( Read Article > ) Life of Agony's "A Place Where There's No More Pain" is available on Napalm Records. The album was produced by Matt Brown & Life of Agony and mastered by Ted Jensen (Alice in Chains, Machine Head, Deftones).

On January 22, 2018, Life Of Agony welcomed new drummer Veronica Bellino into the band, best known for her work with Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Jeff Beck, DMC, Richie Sambora/Orianthi, and Carmine Appice/Slamm. The current Life of Agony lineup features vocalist Mina Caputo, guitarist Joey Z, bassist Alan Robert, and drummer Veronica Bellino.

LIFE OF AGONY toured the USA and Europe in 2018 with its highly successful "Rise of the Underground" Tour 2018. The dates kicked off with two sold-out, hometown warm-up gigs April 18th & 19th at Saint Vitus in Brooklyn, and concluded November 2nd as headliners of The Sound of Revolution Festival in Eindhoven, Netherlands.

A 5 piece metalcore act from Melbourne, Australia. Forming late in 2017 ATLVS hit the ground running playing as many shows as possible as they worked to get their name out in the local scene. Getting the opportunity to play alongside acts such as Windwaker, Gravemind, Pridelands, Ocean Sleeper and Dream on Dreamer to name a few. Since the bands inception, ATLVS have built a loyal following. Their release of their debut Ep “Memoir” (2019) opened the door for radio plays in both Australia and overseas. It also allowed for the opportunity to tour Australia for the first time at the end of 2019. ATLVS were able to showcase their brutal sound, winning the hearts of metal fans across the country. The end of tour brought with it the quintets first headline show in Melbourne, which completely sold out. Next saw the release of “Sorrow” which solidified the heavy change that ATLVS was going through and would ultimately open up for the new material that ATLVS was about to bring. 2021 and a new chapter of ATLVS has begun with a string of releases coming out. To start is the release of “Nazareth” a hard hitting and straight to the point crushing single. Opening the eyes of fans, both old and new. Leaving the listener loving the new sound that ATLVS is evolving into. With just releasing the latest single “Kodokushi” continues with soul crushing heaviness but introduces melodic/ambient feels at the same time. Leaving what is to come wide open.
