The Matador

Since their inception, The Matador have continued to cast themselves apart from the Australian mainstream of heavy music by pushing the boundaries of sound experimentation. Their progressive and dark undertoned layers of music range from down tempo, complex soundscape arrangements to epic, driving walls of earth crushingly heavy guitars, drums and vocals. With an imminent EP release on the way, expect to see The Matador continue to push these boundaries.

paper arms

Paper Arms have an honest, raw and mature take on punk rock roots. It is the culmination of over a decade in punk and hardcore bands, yet it’s never felt this good before. The band hit the studio in early January 2010, with legendary musician/producer Walter Schreifels, to record their debut full length album, 'Days Above Ground'. It's release marks a new chapter in the bands story, and one which is sure to be interesting.
