Nantes based DIY hardcore label Straight & Alert has announced the signing of a new Australian punk band called RAGE! Both parties agreed to put out the band’s debut 7” called “Feel The Burn” (co-released with Australian label Resist Records) and just launched pre-orders for 3 different versions of the European press (Australian edition will be out early September). “RAGE was started with the intention to play UK influenced hardcore like VIOLENT REACTION or THE FLEX, so you can definitely find that UKHC vibe, mixed with Boston Hardcore (THE RIVAL MOB / NO TOLERANCE) and mid 80’s NYHC (OUTBURST).” Check out 2 tracks below and stay tuned for a full stream soon!
RAGE is: William Rudlin (vocals), Jarrod Birch (bass), Mark Beavan (guitars), Jordan Whyte (guitars), and Nathan Byrnes (drums).
