  Hellions

  Hellions are a dynamic Australian band from Sydney, renowned for pioneering a genre-melding sound that fuses aggressive post-hardcore with grand, melodic alternative rock. The band balances heavy, raw power with anthemic choruses and theatrical arrangements, all while maintaining hopeful, introspective lyrical themes. Following their formation in 2013, they quickly established a reputation for their energetic live shows, which have led to multiple sold-out headline tours across Australia, the UK, and Europe. Their landmark 2016 album, Opera Oblivia, was a major critical success, debuting at #4 on the ARIA Charts and receiving an ARIA Award nomination for Best Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Album, as well as an AIR Award nomination for Best Independent Hard Rock, Heavy or Punk Album. They have also appeared on acclaimed international festival stages, including UNIFY Gathering, Slam Dunk, and 2000 Trees.

  SAME PAINS

  SAME PAINS is a project synonymous with noise, aggression and ache.

  A debuting collective comprised of stalwart Regional QLD musicians purposed with putting the territory back on the map, promising erratic live shows, belligerent riffs and discordant vocals.

  With multiple releases lined up this year, SAME PAINS will be a force to be reckoned with.
