Wall of Sound: Up Against The Wall

Here is a sentence we never thought we'd be saying again: Static-X are touring Australia again! Believe it or not, but three of four OG members are back and heading down under for a tour like no other which will serve not only as the 20th Anniversary of their breakthrough album Wisconsin Death Trip but also a Memorial Tribute to their late frontman Wayne Static, who passed away back in 2014. The news has divided fans (some for, some against the idea) but bassist Tony Campos is on this weel's podcast chatting all about it to clear the air and answer any concerns fans may have had.
Podcast host Browny, despite being a fan, takes both sides of the argument to get the truth from the band and find out if the right intentions are at play here or if this is another one of those cash grabs from fans, but from what you'll hear, every intricate detail about this tour has been well planned, thought out and even received the blessings of Wayne's family before the ball was even rolling and it seems the people that want this the most are Static-X's longterm fans who even pledged their own money for the band's new album, Project Regeneration, which wouldn't have seen the light of day if it wasn't for their contributions. Tony also delves into the current status of the album and how they're using old vocal recordings from studio sessions before Wayne passed to create a brand new album from the band, featuring original members Tony Campos, Ken Jay and Koichi Fukuda.
There's also throwbacks from Megadeth, dope, Rammstein, Coal Chamber and Fear Factory, New Music from SKYND, Sleeping With Sirens and Bare Bones + heaps more...

We are bloody stoked to bring The Beautiful Monument back on the show this week to chat about their forthcoming album I'm The Reaper. The ladies are fast becoming hot property in Australia's heavy music scene with their blend of genre-crossing anthems and lyrically captivating songs you can't help but belt out. Shredmaster Andrea 'Andy' Skoumbri is this week's guest co-host and she's going into detail about their rise to fame, the struggles along the way (including parents who see a career in music as more of a hobby) and the hard-hitting, and emotionally heartbreaking story behind their latest single 'Reaper'.
But it's not all emotional, podcast host Browny also takes a look back one of the biggest moments the band had this year, when they played both Sydney and Melbourne Download Festival and some of the antics that happened at those shows.
There's also New Music from Boston Manor feat. John Floreani, Make Way For Man, Hellions, Pridelands, Bad/Love feat. Marcus Bridge, Headstrong and Make Them Suffer, throwbacks from Simple Plan, The Ghost Inside, Stand Atlantic + heaps more!

Grab your vans, dickies and prepare to head back in time with Buddy Nielsen of Senses Fail on this week's episode of Wall of Sound: Up Against The Wall as the guys gear up for their triumphant return to Australia for the first time since 2013. That's a long time between drinks for the post-hardcore band who have gone through a few lineup changes in the process but also released an incredible return to form album at the same time. Buddy chats all about that and reflects on the popularity the band had after their song 'Can't Be Saved' made it onto Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock back in the day.

Podcast host Browny takes a look at the news surrounding WAAX who had their own shock lineup change during in the past week AND released a belter of a new song you have to hear.

There's also New Music from The Beautiful Monument, We Burn Bridges, Of Mice & Men and Rammstein, throwbacks from The Used, Box Car Racer, Pierce The Veil, From First To Last and heaps more...

You know when someone introduces you to a band and you instantly fall for them? You love their music, members, style and purpose and dedicate your life promoting them as much as you can! That's how we felt with I Prevail who burst onto the scene a few years back covering a Taylor Swift song, BUT, the difference between them and others who were doing it at the time was they had a vast array of heavy/melodic music behind them to not just be known for that cover.

From there, they've escaped the comparisons and have set out on their own, dominating the world and this week we're chatting to guitarist Dylan Bowman all about their achievements (and struggles) so far. From selling out their ENTIRE Australian Debut Tour to almost losing their clean vocalist Brian Burkheiser to a pretty traumatic (pun intended) vocal injury, to now, on the eve of the release of their second studio album, we go into detail about everything they've faced along the way and how they'll never give up in their fight.

Podcast host Browny also takes a look at the news surrounding Static-X's reforming and Memorial Tribute for Wayne Static, the former frontman and namesake of the band ahead of their Worldwide Anniversary Tour and new album Project Regeneration.

Plus there's plenty of New Music to get through from Liberties, Red Handed Denial, Windwaker, The Beautiful Monument, The Last Martyr, Dealer, Jinjer and Bury Your Dead and more...

YEAH THE BONES! An expression of appreciation fans of Sydney hardcore punks Bare BOnes shout with pride any time these lads are in the closest vicinity and we'll be screaming it more often now that they've unleashed their sophomore album Rival Minds upon the world which is tearing up Australia's heavy music scene and proving these guys are the next big thing in genre-crossing rock and metal.
Frontman Tom Kennedy is welcomed back to co-hosting duties this week chatting all about the album, it's "mature" sound and how they've pushed themselves harder since sharing the stage with big name acts like Prophets of Rage, Stone Sour and Rise Against over the past couple of years. The lads are here to prove they've got more than just a heavy, party atmosphere sound and they're not afraid to express it with their latest offering (which you should be all over by now)
Podcast host Browny also takes a look at Polaris' new single 'Masochist', their forthcoming album The Death of Me and highly anticipated tour alongside some pretty big names in metalcore.
There's also plenty of new tunes this week from Ocean Sleeper, Fever 333, Violent Soho, Once Human and Raised Fist, throwbacks from Crystal Lake and Trophy Eyes + heaps more!
