House vs. Hurricane

Hailing from Melbourne, House Vs. Hurricane are fast making a name for themselves. The band formed as six guys who all come from a variety of different musical influences (everything from August Burns Red, Poison the Well, Alexisonfire, Circa Survive to Herbie Hancock, Saves The Day, Bjork) with a desire to create something fresh and different in the heavy music scene. The result has caused quite a stir in the underground with a style of music that fuses hardcore rock melody to create a sound that could be best described as progressive post-hardcore.

Eleventh He Reaches London

Eleventh He Reaches London sat beneath a tree sometime in 2007. They thought of music and they thought of life; they thought of the perfect way to balance both, but soon realised that one was far easier to love than the other. They wrote "Hollow Be My Name" soon after, an endless representation of positive and negative emotions, of audible notes that have lost their way since 1927, when Henry Thomas first sat on the bank of a river and composed the "Fishing Blues".
