Describing Into The East is like walking through a Baz Luhrmann film. It’s watching old friends bounce on a trampoline whilst pouring their souls onto a kaleidoscope. It’s laughing until your chest burns, falling into a spiral of doubt then catapulting into an ocean of open arms. 

Since busting onto the scene as a pair of Southern unknowns in 2013, Graeme Woller & Liv McBride have gathered a strong following thanks to their tight performances & crystalline sound that has been described as Fleetwood Mac with the poetic & harmonic charm of Simon & Garfunkel. 

Critics cannot find fault in debut album Fight From The Inside "Think Fairport Convention taking Neil Young’s acoustic vision apart and building something new with the bones of Sheryl Crow.” (NZ Musician Magazine)

In the 10 months since debuting, Into The East have perpetually toured Aotearoa, picking up nominations for Best NZ Folk Album, a nomination for the highly regarded Taite Music Prize & a win in the form of APRA Album Of The Year & Band Of The Year at the 2014 Southland Entertainment Awards.
