Over six years as a band, 4 releases, countless tours & after parties, from playing small shows in parking lots to some of the biggest venues in the country such as the RNA showgrounds to a 20,000 strong crowd, Gold Coast Parklands to 9500 people and at the Brisbane Entertainment centre with a whole bunch of international touring acts and playing alongside the likes of Taking Back Sunday, Unwritten Law, Thursday, Dead Letter Circus, Underoath, Saosin, Senses Fail, BodyJar, Anti Flag, Parkway Drive to name but a few, the guys are hoping to create their own path of ‘grassroots’ success.

Their recent debut album “Modern Rivalry’ was mixed by Sylvia Massy (TOOL, Red Hot Chili Peppers, COG) in California and is currently distributed nationally in the U.S. with SONY Red. The band hailing from the beachside suburbs of the Sunshine Coast have just finished putting the final touches to their latest release; a 7 track mini album due for release in March.

The Sound; Raw honesty, and heartfelt delivery, going from ‘pretty false setto’, to a brutal breakdown then into a catchy melodic heavy rock chorus - all seamlessly in the space of one minute. To liken DrawCards sound to other bands ...maybe AlexisOnFire took on Foo Fighters rock sound and then spent too much time with A Day To Remember and Bullet for my Valentine. ...recent reviews of their debut album Modern Rivalry has positioned their sound closely to Foo Fighters and Coheed and Cambria (without the extremely high voice) ... lets not waste too much time writing about who or what they sound like, get out to one of their shows or check out their tracks online.

Modern Rivalry is available now on iTunes, at shows, in selected record stores in Australia and all good record stores in the U.S.

The next self titled release from DrawCard will be available soon!
