HDM. A four piece post-rock band from Lismore, NSW, Australia.
Their sound is a blend of 90's style female grunge and American pop punk with an Australian edge that will bury it's hooks into you upon listening; a vocally raw truth of wonder and pain alongside intricate rhythms and gorgeous melodies that completely envelop you, the way music should.

HDM are chasing stages and smiling faces.
