The “Turn The Curse” tour is a celebration of Australian hardcore, coming along for the tour will be two of the brightest new bands in the scene, The Weight and Thorns. The Weight from Adelaide recently released their debut album “Prisoners Of The Flock” (Clarity Records) to rave reviews, establishing themselves as a new voice in Australia, their thrash/metal hybrid take on NYHC brutality refocusing many eyes on the long quiet Adelaide scene. Thorns have had a busy 12 months, releasing their debut self-titled EP (Broken Hive Records) mid-year and backing it up with headlining shows in Melbourne as well as supports with the likes of Backtrack, Xibalba, Hitlist and Antagonist AD. Their mosh infused hardcore has set pits off in Melbourne, now they look to take it nationally.


Relentless, The Weight and Thorns will take to the road in January/February 2013 for a tour that promises to be one of the best Australian package tours of the year. Come out to a show and see the talent we have in our own backyard.
