Epidemic...over
With a name like EPIDEMIC…OVER, one can be forgiven for any preconceived conceptions of the bands sound. After all, a lot of today’s bands have names that immediately create ideas as to what genre they are. In E…O’s case, expectations are dissolved the second the first note is struck. To be put simply, it’s the music that defines the name. Reigning from Central Queensland Australia, EPIDEMIC…OVER are a promising, energetic four piece combining hard hitting guitars and emotional vocals held together by a tight and driving rhythm section.

Jack Ladder
Jack Ladder (b.1983) is the alias of Tim Rogers, a songwriter, musician and artist from Sydney, Australia. His music is characterised by his baritone voice and poignant observations on love and death. His songs often feature a black humour and deeply personal revelations.
He has released three albums "Not Worth Waiting For" (2006), "Love is Gone" (2008) and "Hurtsville" (2011) . An alternative version of songs from Love Is Gone "Counterfeits" was self released in 2009. Love is Gone was short listed for the Australian Music Prize and won the Red Bull Music Award. It was also selected Album of the Year by Who Weekly magazine.
His live shows are a constant reinvention, involving improvisation and deconstruction of his own material. Early shows were strictly acoustic featuring cello and upright bass. This was followed by a long period of electric trio and full band shows. He is currently performing with vintage drum machines, delays and the guitar sonics of Kirin J Callinan (Mercy Arms). His live band, The Dreamlanders, regularly features Laurence Pike (PVT, Triosk) on drums. Though evolving and experimental his performances are always passionate.
Ladder has toured and opened for artists as diverse as John Cale, Wolfmother, Feist, Bill Callahan and Okkervill River for whom he contributed to The Stand Ins (2008). He features on the live Bill Callahan record "Rough Travel For A Rare Thing" (2010) playing bass guitar.

Jonesez
Jonesez is Mark Stewart, formed in 2009 and is from Melbourne, Victoria. A note from Mark, Jonesez isn't really a band, even though it certainly sounds like one. It's best described as a solo project with a little help from some friends... Rhythm and melody. I've always loved writing pop songs, mostly not very good ones. When I was 10 my dad gave me his Rolling Stones vinyl collection because he'd just upgraded to CDs. Lucky me. Most of what I initially write is pop music, but by the time the songs are recorded there's way too much guitar noise on them, which debunks my genre theory.
