HONEST CROOKS drop new single “No Rest”; inks a deal with EVP Recordings

1 min read

‘Hellsworth’s Heaviest’ are today taking it to the world! HONEST CROOKS, the four-piece crew out of Tamworth NSW/Canberra ACT, are announcing that they have signed to EVP Recordings under Lochlan Watt – and they have a new single ‘No Rest’ to offer. The brutally heavy new single will be unleashed this Friday 13th March, and tickets are now on sale for their ‘No Rest for the Pitters’ tour dates in April, celebrating the release of the single. It’s available at this location.

Having just demolished stages and getting up close and real personal with fans at both Unify Gathering and Invasion Fest 2020 and selling out their last three headline shows, ‘Hellsworth’s Heaviest’ are keeping the momentum rolling on 2020 with this signing, new material and tour (marking their 10th lap around Australia!).

The new single ‘No Rest’ was Produced, Mixed and Mastered by Elliott Gallart @ Chameleon Sound and the stark video was shot and edited by Colin Jeffs @ Ten Of Swords Media Collective. Brodie Graham, vocalist for Honest Crooks, says that

“…No Rest is a song for the people that think we don’t deserve to be given the opportunities we receive. We have sacrificed careers, relationships and our own mental and physical health to be where we are today. To discredit that is a personal attack. No Rest is a story about hard work, perseverance and reigning on top but also a story of how jealousy and disrespect will only hold you back.”

With their worldwide signing to EVP Recordings, Honest Crooks join a roster that provides an Australian home to such acts as Disentomb, Psycroptic, Behemoth and more.

The ‘No Rest for Pitters’ tour sees Honest Crooks split the tour somewhat down the middle, with the first half of the tour seeing them join Dealer, Varials and Starve in Brisbane (Crowbar Brisbane), Sydney (Crowbar Sydney), Melbourne (Stay Gold) and Adeialde (Jive) from 3rd to the 7th April, then out on their own tour dates in Canberra (The Basement), Doonside (AA House Show) and Newcastle (Hamilton Station) from the 10th to the 12th April.

Since the release of their EP ‘Suffer’ in 2017, Honest Crooks have now toured the country in support of international acts Harm’s Way + Antagonist AD, Australian breakthrough artists Alpha Wolf + Justice For The Damned along with 2 memorable Invasion Fest slots. A major line up change in late 2018 saw Honest Crooks return to the drawing board to recreate themselves, with the 7″ EP ‘Damage Control’ an unforgiving new direction, bulldozing through anyone who stands in their path.

Honest Crooks’ new single ‘No Rest’ will be released into the world this Friday 13th March in all good digital outlets and streaming platforms. Tickets are now on sale for the ‘No Rest for Pitters’ tour at this location.
