Harroway “shine” with debut single


With intricate guitar work, heavy vocals and catchy cleans, Sydney based metal-core band Harroway have released their debut single ‘Shine’.

The single was recorded in Belleville, New Jersey through Graphics Nature Audio.

‘Shine’ was written as a reminder for both the band and listeners to never give up on their passions and aspirations, no matter how hard life gets.

Harroway vocalist Matt Banks said that the riffs, structures and his mood changed as the song was written.

“The verse became an outlet for the dark personal things I was dealing with at the time – which was basically feelings of not being good enough,” he said.

“I reflected back on all the positive words of encouragement I had received over the years while trying to follow my dreams.”

The single will be released with an accompanying music video that is directed and conceptualised by Third Eye Visuals.

Harroway consists of members originating from bands such as Maybe I’ll Live Forever, Isotopes and Like Royals.

As such, the line up consists of Matt Banks as the vocalist, Marcus Cunich as guitarist and vocalist, Alex Maybury on the guitar, Jordan Sheriff on Bass and Jesse Gallagher on the drums.

‘Shine’ is available now on all digital stores and streaming platforms.

Sydney metal-heads, IntrØspect, announce brand new single, ‘Sovereign’


To prepare fans for the release of their upcoming EP, Sydney-based progressive metal band, IntrØspect, has just announced the imminent release of a brand new single.

Set to drop October 18th, ‘Sovereign‘ will give audiences a taste of what’s to be included in their upcoming EP, ‘Ad Astra‘.

IntrØspect uses soaring vocal melodies, complex riffs and heavy grooves to create a landscape drenched in emotion and rife with passion and hope.

The band is wanting to take the audience on an emotional and spiritual journey from ecstatic bliss to the depths of despair and back again.

According to IntrØspect vocalist and frontwoman Felicity Jayne, ‘Sovereign’ is “the heaviest song on the ‘Ad Astra’ EP and draws inspiration from Carl Jung’s conception of the shadow.”

“’Sovereign‘ is a reminder that each of us has a darkness within, and we are not truly empowered until we’ve reckoned with it, and integrated it.” Ms Jayne said.

Sovereign‘ features a fierce vocal performance from Above, Below’s Jacob Wilkes and is the first track to have screamed vocals.

Mr Wilkes vocals work alongside Ms Jayne’s voice and creates a haunting atmosphere that is underscored by heavy riffs and crushing breakdowns.

The EP will be launched alongside Glass Ocean and Opus of a Machine in Sydney on November 30 as a support at Factor Floor.

Ad Astra‘ is available October 18 and can be pre-ordered at https://listen.introspectmusic.co/adastra

Win tickets to Zombieland: Double Tap!


“My mama always told me someday I’d be good at something. Who’d a guessed that something’d be zombie-killing?” Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson, Zombieland)


Everyone’s favourite zombie-killing squad is back for another double-tap this Spring!

Starring Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Abigail Breslin and Emma Stone, the famed team has reunited with director Ruben Fleischer and the original writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick to unleash perhaps this Spring’s most bloody and anticipated film.

Written by Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick and Dave Callaham, Zombieland: Double Tap will see the four zombie slayers traverse across the baron, zombified landscape that was the US to face off against the many new kinds of zombies that have evolved since the first movie, as well as some new human survivors. But most of all, they have to face the growing pains of their own snarky, makeshift family.

Just like the original featured prominent locations like Bill Murray’s luscious mansion, Zombieland: Double Tap will see comic mayhem stretch from the White House and through the heartland, providing a hilarious backdrop to their extreme zombie hunting methods.
