Loud So Clear are an aussie rock band hailing from the nation's capital. With a goal of crooning like QOTSA and bluesing like the Black Keys, the LSC sound is loud, energetic and unmistakingly rock. Fans often describe LSC as 90's Seatle for the modern age, however dig a little deeper and you will find a unique and original sound that is varied in style and approach but never compromising on energy. It is, after all, this energy that the LSC machine thrives on. A project that started in 2008 by long time collaborators, Nak and Neal, LSC has since gained a small but solid reputation that is spear headed by their energetic live show. The last few years have been spent gigging in and out of Canberra, recording an EP, participating in the live compilation project HARD ACT and even sharing the stage with long-time musical hero Jamie Hutchinson (also of Blue Bottle Kiss fame).

LSC were back to the studio in 2015/2016 for the first time since the release of their self-title EP and have put out an EP tracks that demonstrate their new tricks of the trade that now dominates their live sets. The new EP is titled 'Kill Your Darlings', a metaphor for the collective writers block that was beginning to take hold of the band that could only be over-come by purging our material in the way of recording and releasing the EP. Kill Your Darlings represents the present as well as the future for LSC, as it allows the band the explore new territory without the fear of losing some old favourites. ​

Canberra’s Revellers were set for big things from their 2012 inception, which saw them quickly and aggressively establish themselves as a fixture of the local ACT scene as they stormed the stage 
alongside the likes of The Swellers (USA), Paper Arms, Anchors, and The Bennies – just to name a few. It lead to a tumultuous 2013, which saw the band release their critically lauded debut EP 
Night Time Lunatics and journey interstate to bring their trademark relentlessness and good-time  party vibes to Sydney, Melbourne, Wollongong and NSW’s South Coast for the first time, immediately expanding their loyal following with the sheer might of their live show. The year’s end saw them take out a 2013 MusicACT MAMA Award, a fitting capstone to Revellers’ biggest year yet.

The door to 2014 was unceremoniously kicked in with an alliance with Melbourne indie label Whisk and Key Records to unleash their sophomore EP, Your Round. Recorded locally with producer
engineer Adam Jordan (Mondo Generator/Over-Reactor) and mixed and mastered at Blasting Room Studios (USA) by Jason Livermore (Rise Against/Propagandhi/Hot Water Music), Your 
Round sees Revellers exploring the genre and stretching their sound, while still holding onto those tight melodies and pop-punk hooks that make each track so easy to sing along with. In support of the release, Revellers will be touring across Australia and even jumping the ditch to New Zealand for their first ever overseas shows.

Revellers aren't trying to reinvent the wheel; instead, they're grabbing it with both hands and expertly careening it through the turns we expect from the hard-hitting, melodic punk music that we all grew up with and loved. Most importantly, they're having a blast doing it and they're here to ensure that the fun extends to you too. So come to a show and bring your mates, your folks, your boss, your landlord, hell – even bring your dogs; now's the chance for us all to have a drink, sing along and look forward to that time of the night when it's 'Your Round'!
