R13! A high energy Alternative-Hard Rock band from the Central Coast (North of Sydney, Australia). Formed in 2010 with over 200 shows under their belt, R13 have the drive to be something huge. Being a live band, they constantly strive to perfect their live show. Identified by the Express Advocate newspaper as "A solid unit with outstanding material".

"All of us found ourselves in and out of bands due to the lack of commitment and drive, prior to R13" -Trent Fisher

R13 came together after a long battle to find like-minded and talented musicians. 
R13 are; TRENT FISHER (Vocals) NATHAN DOWNEY (Drums) ANGUS MITCHELL (Guitar) and SCOTT PATTISON (Bass); The hard-rocking, sweat driven monster is one band you should definitely keep your eyes on. 

All members coming from totally different musical backgrounds, the Alternative style is extremely apparent. With a truly unique sound and an explosive stage show to back it all up. Melodic bass riffs, dynamite beats, shredding guitar and a powerful vocal makes a memorable stage show led by Frontman Trent Fisher. Since 2010 R13 have been working to earn their place in the Australian music scene. 

Having played alongside some of the Central Coast's most popular acts and scoring a support slot for US band As Tall As Lions, R13 are ready to take the world by storm!

Hi! 
My name is Daniel Keating.
As well as being the key singer / songwriter and composer for Central Coast based alt-rock act String Fiction, I have an extensive history working in professional film production. 
Outside of writing and performing rock music, I have always maintained a professional interest in developing score and composing for film and live entertainment.
In May of 2015, I was commissioned to compose two pieces of music for acts touring with Moscow circus; both pieces of which can be found in the soundcloud stream ("Techno Hits and Gypsy Tricks", and "Swashbuckling Tension Suite"). 
Concluding the work, I have a renewed interest in composing score for various mediums, and can be contacted for bookings through my Facebook (at facebook.com/danmusicfilm) or through hitmeupfirst@gmail.com.

When asked to classify the genre his music belonged to in his first Australian radio interview, the prodigal singer and amateur swimmer Jeff Buckley indentified his own work as ‘degenerate artfag chamber-core’. Newcastle band Huskarl bears few similarities to Jeff Buckley however when confronted with the dilemma of classifying artistically driven rock music in an age when ‘indie’ could mean anything and ‘IDM’ is apparently a genre, we feel that Mr. Buckley’s response goes quite a way to expressing our fearful disdain of the question.  We feel that a better question to ask (and what may indeed be the question you are already asking) is ‘Why would I listen to this band?’
The answer to that question is easy – Huskarl plays intricate, thoughtful and emotive music without alienating or confusing people. Sets can swing from heavy, haunting rock to 6/8 beats and vocal harmonies, with songs held together by the distinct styles brought by each musician. We have an alt-pop lover on drums, a Jazz saxophonist on synth and a bass player that thinks that Bono is a legitimate musician. Once mixed in with a singer-songwriter who is musically illiterate, we are left with a band that eschews the status quo by choice but remains accessible by practical necessity. 

After a year of playing to a string of unwilling housemates and two cats in the privacy of a suburban lounge room, Huskarl has recently begun playing the local scene and has quite quickly built up a strong following. The guys like the hard hitting guitars, the girls like the smooth vocals and everyone likes the melodic bass and elaborate drums. The oldies like the thoughtful lyrics and mind bending synth and the hip kids like the saxophone (albeit ironically). Of course, it also helps that we are all attractive young men – as the booking agent for our first gig said, ‘you look good and you look like you know what you’re doing, so I can’t see why not’.

We hope that you can’t see why not either.


Interests include drinking cheap red wine, eating cheese from a tub and making delicious music.
