Leaps and Bounds Fest, Kaiju and Morbid Mondays presents:

ESP Mayhem take you on bum trip to apocalypses of futures past with nothing to keep you fed but a stale diet of terror, shame, hubris and contempt. Cyborg disco grind industrial gabber metal to be simultaneously hated and/or loved only by those with the most discerning of tastes. Pick a side or take a hike!

If the idea of Eyehategod listening to Grief in a dank shed, with Buzzoven bringing them warm beers in Australia is up your alley, then this is the band for you. Loud feedback by a group of people who are simply ‘alright’ at playing their instruments – grubby sludge from the underside of the world, that’s Burn the Hostages.

One of the more fearsome outfits in the new post-lockdown wave of Melbourne hardcore is Gravitate. Their blend of metallic riffing and hardcore energy has been turning heads since they exploded into life late in 2021. With their debut EP coming in June, Gravitate are a live force you won’t want to miss.
