The Lismore band who first won triple j’s Unerathed comp back in 1995 (!) are an unforgettable force live and represent of the last of a slew of bands like Jebediah, Frenzal, Gerling that haven’t lost their fire, backing up their on-stage antics with some anthemic hits for the masses.

Now, in celebration of their iconic albums Easy (1999) and New Detention (2002) the group will embark on the Easy Detention tour which will coincide with the release of the first-ever vinyl pressings of both records on Friday, September 8th. Fans can already pre-order these special editions.
