you should LISTEN to
Winnerz Circle – ‘PLAY2WIN’ (Feat. J.O.Y.)
Since their inception in 2022, Adelaide’s Winnerz Circle have supported SPEED, The Amity Affliction and The Acacia Strain, as well as releasing a demo and a sampler of bone-crushing moshcore. Recently, the quartet unleashed a Split EP with Sydney’s J.O.Y. and the feature track ‘PLAY2WIN’ is a pummelling metallic hardcore uppercut with nu-metal nuances that will leave spectators bruised, battered and begging for repeat plays. The Hatebreed meets Cold World coalescence for the breakdown parts are devastating and the Earth will assuredly rumble from this brutal victory.

The three-piece will exhibit their musical enchantment to Adelaide for their debut visit and in all probability, they will do so with the same magnificence recently showcased at the Glastonbury Festival.

Steel Panther
Feel The Steel, Balls Out and On The Prowl are rather provocative titles for records that probably giveaway the sound orientation of LA’s Steel Panther; so if glam metal makes you ‘Party Like Tomorrow Is the End of the World’, the ‘Panther is your party animal.
