After 10 years of cutting their teeth the band was ready to move beyond their comfort zone. For a time the band was pigeonholed as just another grunge, garage band doing reheats. But they are not singing Kumbaya, theirs is a 21st century update of the best of grunge with a harder rock edge. Members Luke Boerham, guitar/vocals, James Tidswell guitar/vocals, Luke Henery bass, and Michael Richards, on drums, all grew up together and attended the same youth group. The band was formed in 2004 in the Brisbane suburb of Mansfield. The playlist is the same as the original down under release with the addition of the song “Tinderbox”. With the group gaining in popularity, they were signed with Side One Dummy Records to release in the States. They also reached number 6 on the Australian record charts. The recording did well, and the single “Covered In Chrome” went to 14th on the hottest 100 in 2013. The disc was originally released in Australia in late 2013 on I Oh You records. Produced by Moorhead, the Australian Steve Albini, and mixed by John Agnello. Exciting times for the band Violent Soho, supported by screaming hot popularity in Australia, their new disc, “Hungry Ghost”, will be released in early September.
