THE UNKNOWNS (AUS)
Since forming in late 2014, The Unknowns (Joshua Hardy – vocals/guitar, Nathan Montgomery – bass, Tom Butler – drums, Eamon Sandwith - guitar) have brought their old- fashioned authentic rock n’ roll to numerous venues around Australia, including but not limited to: The Triffid, 170 Russell, Sol Bar, The Gov, The Zoo, The Tote, Factory Theatre and the Barwon Club.
The band has also supported North American power pop trio Mean Jeans on their recent Australian tour, and Melbourne punk pioneers the Meanies. They have toured and performed alongside Ed Kuepper (The Saints), Frenzal Rhomb, The Chats, Clowns, Pist Idiots and countless more.
Driven by their passion for timeless music expressing honest emotions, the band delivers an unassuming simplicity through sharing their garage rock and power pop song writing sensibilities. With dynamic live sets and their enigmatic stage presence, The Unknowns perform with a sense of freedom and passion that is indicative of not only their youthful enthusiasm for all things punk rock, but also with the ability to harbour and nurture their strong bond as friends and band mates hailing from Southeast Queensland.
The Unknowns earnt the opportunity to release their first EP via independent Australian label Bargain Bin Records, releasing a 7” single in August of 2019 that included tracks from their first full length LP, ‘Nothing Will Ever Stop’.
Their new album, entitled ‘East Coast Low’ is a compilation of songs written by all members of the band and was recorded at Hunting Ground Studios in Brisbane. Engineered by Cody McWaters, the group spent a week in the studio refining what will be their sophomore LP.
In the opening track, lead guitarist and vocalist Joshua Hardy sings: “Ill do what I have to do, to get home back to you” - his voice full of echo and a sense of timeless desperation. Similarly, on the track ‘Thinking About You’ he laments: “Every point of latitude, makes me think of my position”. The songs have a romantic overture that is reminiscent of the first 3 Ramones albums, pouring ones heart out through the medium of well written garage punk music. The riffs are all power, full of hooks and fascinating melodic guitar interplay between Hardy and Sandwith.
Set for release in March of 2023, ‘East Coast Low’ was mastered by Mikey Young and will be released via Bargain Bin Records.
