In their debut 12 months, Vex packed out sweaty venues, racked up hundreds of thousands of streams and built themselves a loyal following both domestic and abroad - The Self Made EP was dropped December 2022 with the sophomore release Bite Back in December 23'.

"Bite Back was written at the end of last Summer by all 5 of us in a lounge room trying to escape the heat. The air conditioning was pumping and everything just landed in place. By the end of the week we had the shell of what would become the next chapter of Vex - A slight departure from where the band began but something we were very proud of and a body of music that feels like we found what this band is. Engineered and produced in house by Stove Reid over some late night recording sessions and sent off to the master Kye Blomely for Mixing & Mastering."

The outfit blends the sounds of Kublai Khan, Knocked Loose and Trapped Under Ice, with a focus on community - Music should have no barrier for entry.

2024 will see the band reach remote corners of Australia and begin to dip its toes into the international touring circuit -New Zealand!

Brawler NZHC aims to bring the next level of beatdown hardcore to the rising wave of NZHC. The 4-piece combines punishing lyrical content touching on subjects of addiction, violence and self-betterment head on with a fresh blend of heavy, street-style hardcore guitars and drums to deliver a ruthless yet polished dose of tough love. Having just completed a quick lap around the North Island in support of their new single Push Back Brawler are jumping at the bit to get in front of crowds again.

And with Support from melodic hardcore titans Amanaki. Having supported bands like Antagonist A.D., Xile, The Gloom In The Corner, Banks Arcade, Sick Of It All, No Life, and more in recent times, Amanaki are looking forward to sharing the stage with another Australian band.

Along with securing NZ on Air Funding for their new single Money Man - the first hardcore band in NZ to do so, Amanaki are pumped to be playing this live for fans to hear and see.
