Singer-songwriter, reader, punk poet, humorist, political commentator. 
It's all live, laugh, love, death and politics.

Cold Irons Bound is a Melbourne four-piece who recall the best distorted twang of the past 50 years. Think a mix of Americana (Tom Petty, Black Crowes, The Allman Brothers Band) and classic indie rock (The Replacements, Teenage Fanclub).

Their two albums to date are full of three-part harmonies, twin guitar leads, and tunes that quickly start to follow you around.

Although antipodean to their bootstraps, their tales of broken suburban dreams share a haunted sensibility with those made infamous by acts from the American Midwest and northern UK.

But it ain't all death 'n' taxes.

Cold Irons Bound’s songs are also about wrapping your arms around a friend you haven't seen in way too long.

They’re about getting older, getting over it, and never forgetting why you fell in love with rock'n'roll in the first place.

Elevated to Support fellow South Australian rock icons THE MARK OF CAIN, Adelaide's SUBTRACT S have since gone from strength to strength to support rock and roll royalty THE SONICS, THE BUZZCOCKS and THE SISTERS OF MERCY.
Boasting a sound which combines soaring synths, bombastic blast beats, shredding strings and thunderous bass lines, whilst armed with song writing pop sensibility to rival any in their field, SUBTRACT S have fast become one of the most unique and intriguing bands to emerge from SA in years.

SUBTRACT S are the aliens from South Australia you need to fall in love with.

we play punkrock'n'roll and rearranged songs 50's 60's in a punk rock key

GPC SOUNDS: events, mixtapes + stories curated by the crew from Grand Pacific, based along Australia's pacific southeast. 

The fresh sounds of the monthly mixtapes + the curator mixtape with interviews are unique as they are diverse. 

This archive features creators who are signed, unsigned, unknown, overlooked or about to cook. The labels + artists represent their own genre + show the wild versatility + talent bubbling up through the counterculture of Australia’s lower east side. Most are fresh tracks with the odd exclusive album teaser or a just dropped special version. Sometimes we are the only ones that know about it + sometimes we persuade artists to release tracks just for us. 

We focus on original artists, djs, venues, recording studios,  festivals + those artists supporting the pacific southeast scene along the south coast of New South Wales.

Send in your tracks + we will add them to the selection with links to song sale sites + gigs. Featured artist tracks become video heroes on our socials.
