Outbreak

In the Maine Fall of 2001, three friends living in dead end towns, decided it was time to start a band influenced by the fast, aggressive hardcore/punk that they grew up listening to. With no prior band experience, vocalist Ryan, guitarist Chuck and drummer Ira started practicing in Ira's garage and later on in an abandoned house nicknamed "The Office." The three song demo was written over the Fall at The Office, and by the time Winter rolled around, they booked their first ever recording session in Amherst Massachusetts.

Dreamkillers

1990 was the year Dreamkillers busted their way onto the Aussie underground scene via the culmination of two local Brisbane punk outfits; “Mystery of Sixes” and “Insane Hombres”. The name Dreamkillers came after a conversation regarding the 1957 Williams Burrows classic, The Red Planet, where he refers to the “dream killers”. Disillusioned with the inferior commercial offerings of the time, Dreamkillers soon channelled this angst into a raunchy punk-inspired, hardrock / heavy-metal tour-de-force that became their trademark sound.
