News : Ocean Grove announce Australian headline tour
Melbourne nu-metallers Ocean Grove have announce plans to tour Australia on their much anticipated headline tour this August. Joining them will be Justice For The Damned, Broken and The Beverly Chills.
Ocean Grove are currently celebrating their debut album, The Rhapsody Tapes. The album was written, recorded and produced entirely by the band in their drummer/produce, Sam Bassel’s bed room, who was only 19 years old at the time). Ocean Grove have since topped the ARIA Top #5 charts with their debut release The Rhapsody Tapes. Click here to read our review of the smashing debut album.
Justice For The Damned have completely grasped the concept of patience being a virtue, even if their rabid fan base has not. The Sydney five-piece have spent the past few years consciously and methodically planning their path, cutting their teeth alongside contemporaries such as Polaris. In late 2016, the band stepped into the studio with Ocean Grove’s very own Sam Basal to produce what is gearing up to be a monster record, with their first taste coming in the form of first single “Please Don’t Leave Me”.
Also joining the tour will be fellow Melbournians Broken. With fast paced riffs and rage fuelled lyrics, Broken’s unique take on New York inspired hardcore has seen them share the stage with Mindsnare, Expire, Endless Heights and in August they can add Ocean Grove to their growing list.
The Beverly Chills are two small town Australian boys who met by chance loitering behind the stage at a rock show. Realising they shared an obsession with punk rock and positions on the autism spectrum, they started a manic surf punk band that has sounds a bit like Fidlar and has enjoyed stage time with Dune Rats and The Gooch Palms.
