Straight Edge

Wish For Wings are a hardcore band from Brisbane, Australia. The members of the band are very dedicated and supportive of the straight edge philosophy. They are known for their intense shows and are a cornerstone of the Australian hardcore scene. They have also released an EP "From the Past To the Grave" which was distributed locally.

An Australian Youth Crew Hardcore band, disbanded in late 2007.
Sing-a-long oriented. In late 2003, 4 kids got together in a small practice space in Brisbanes Fortitude Valley with the intentions of having fun and playing hardcore with heart and message. Drawing influences from the likes of Gorilla Biscuits, Insted, Bold, Chain of Strength, In My Eyes, Time Flies, Mouthpiece, and other youth crew bands, led to a fast paced, energetic sound.

Now a staple in Australian hardcore, 50 Lions first bared their claws in 2005 at the height of the metalcore craze in their native Byron Bay. Focussing on producing a more traditional hardcore sound, the key to the survival of the band would be some serious van hours. Building on a sturdy reputation as a fierce live presence, they earned their place on bills with Byron counterparts Parkway Drive and other notable Australian bands such as Carpathian, Miles Away and Her Nightmare, before stepping up to share stages with internationals such as Terror, Madball, Down To Nothing and Blacklisted.

There is more than one artist with that name: 1. With a strong lineup boasting current and ex-members of Terror and Sworn Vengeance, First Blood brought their self-titled debut EP to the masses in 2003. In 2004, they continued their assault with their split 7" EP release entitled "The Dead Man's Hand 03" with Philadelphia's own Blacklisted. Now in 2006, the band plans to unleash their crushing debut full-length "Killafornia" to the world on Trustkill Records.
