News : Introducing: Jackals (members of Serious Beak, Snakes Get Bad Press, Ebolie, etc)

By on August 14, 2013

“Welcome to Dronepunk; a mix of sludge-infused, punk and doom-laden hardcore. Intense, negative vibes for fans of Gaza, Botch, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Trap Them and Cursed.”

That should, really, be enough to grab your attention, but the fact that new Sydney band Jackals features members that have played in Serious Beak, Adrift For Days, Snakes Get Bad Press, The Captains Package, Battle Pope, Nobody Knew They Were Robots, Hobo Bordeaux and Ebolie is a true guarantee.

The debut album, Dronepunk, drops on September 20th through Art As Catharsis records, but you can already stream and download two tracks over on Bandcamp.

Dig it? Then this is where you can catch them live;

August 17th @ Black Wire Records, Sydney
w/ Snakes Get Bad Press, The Reverend Jesse Custer, Thorax and Postal

September 7th @ Black Wire Records, Sydney
w/ Darkhorse, Extinct Exist, Thorax and ACHE
