Originally Appeared In

Once in a while a band comes along who have crafted a sound that's so unique it's hard to believe they haven't been playing together for decades. For the past four years, Mayday Parade has been perfecting their unique brand of pop-inflected punk rock. Captivating and true entertainers in a live setting, Mayday Parade will be entertaining you at their headlining sideshows this March. "As performers, the band's overall energy is a perfect storm. Individually, each member commands his own 3x3 section of the stage in a way that no matter where you look, there is something to watch. On occasion, the five shows will coordinate and explode into a spectacle of showmanship." - Performer Mag

The story of Breathe Carolina is a modern day music fairytale – one about two friends who recorded tracks on GarageBand at home in Denver, Colorado put them on to MySpace and rapidly gained a huge online following that transformed their hobby into a career, and them into stars. With the latest album 'Hello Fascination', the band takes their music to a bigger, brighter and more blistering dimension, their sound is re-defined and ascends to a new level with the addition of live instruments and hooky pop choruses that beg to be sung back in unison by their adoring legions of fans. Get your jaw off the floor and say Hello to Breathe Carolina.

Every Avenue is slightly less contagious than the flu, and far more entertaining. Their vibe comprising of electric fuzz and melodic vocals, anchored by catchy choruses and heartfelt lyrics, Every Avenue has an overflow of power-pop hooks and tender moments to please the most complicated musical palate and infiltrate your iPod.

The infectious triple bill of Mayday Parade, Breathe Carolina and Every Avenue hits Sydney and Melbourne this March.
