Backtrack’s Australian Tour Begins Today

January 23rd, 2014

New York hardcore upstarts Backtrack have arrived in Australia and will be kicking off their Australian tour tonight in Brisbane.

The tour which is in support of their crushing new record, Lost In Life (out now through Bridge Nine records), began with a brief trek through New Zealand over the last few days, and sees old friends reunite as Backtrack team up with Australian hardcore legends Iron Mind to tear rooms apart all across the country.

Both bands’ hard riffs and strong work ethic has seen them go from strength to strength in the last few years and 2014 looks to be their biggest yet, both releasing new albums in January and celebrating with this national tour.

Also joining them this time around will be emerging WA talents The Others. Channeling the rock gods of yore, The Others’ 2013 debut album, Red Eyes, has quickly established The Others as ones to watch.

Local supports and ticketing information for each show can be found on the flyer at the end of this post.

Under The Gun Review will be interviewing Backtrack as they embark on this tour and will be providing readers with a feature, a live review and of course, a review of Lost In Life over the coming weeks, so check back to find out what carnage took place down under.
