We want to do this full time and we know that to give us the best chance of doing that we need to push our limits as far as they are willing to go and then some. Matt: I would agree this EP is definitely a step up for the band, we are consistently looking to find ways to get better and better. Do you feel that way too or are you still stuck in the mindset of when you were recording these tracks? It’s definitely warranted though – from when we first came across you guys, to where you are now, it’s like a massive leap forward. 11k views on something that we expected to get no traction. Even the YouTube release on our own channel has gone nuts. I think when we were setting goals we were like ‘yeah if we get a good playlist hopefully we will get 50k but if not 20k seems realistic’ next minute over 100k streams in a month. Matt: Yeah look, that’s our first 100k song ever and it happened so fast with no curated Spotify playlists. We definitely kicked all the goals we set out to achieve with the release.Īnd you’re also celebrating a massive milestone with ‘ Parasite‘ hitting 100,000 streams – well done to you and the boys on creating such a brilliant piece of work. However in saying that, we did also recruit the help of Ophelia from Big Mouth PR as we wanted to give it the same attention that a signed band would receive and I feel like we succeeded. So much work went into this release because obviously not having a management team or label backing us, we did a lot of it on our own. Matt: Hey dude! Vibes post-release are great! Very happy to finally have the EP out to the world! Plus WE ARE VERY EXCITED FOR TOUR! Matthew – welcome back to Wall of Sound and congratulations at Harroway HQ – how’s the vibe post-release of IDWTBHA? To get you up to speed, we grabbed frontman Matthew Banks (with input from guitarist Joshua ‘GEM’ Gemmell) to take us through the vibe at Harroway camp following their EP’s release, the success they’ve already found with this campaign and what to expect at their incoming EP launch shows… They want to make it, they’ve got the product to get them in the spotlight and all that’s left now is for you to jump on the bandwagon and witness their growth from these grassroots levels. One of those bands who are well and truly on their way is Sydney-based metalcore group Harroway, who just released their new EP i don’t want to be here anymore (our review here) – featuring 5 new songs guaranteed to have you smashing your head into the nearest wall upon the first playthrough.īut it’s not just the heavy tunes that will capture your attention, it’s the motivation and drive the band have behind them that’s inspirational to watch. From your Polaris’ to Make Them Suffer, Northlane, Reliqa, Alpha Wolf, Redhook and beyond, we are constantly seeing bands rise from the ground, and explode on an international level – which is bloody brilliant to see and support where we can. There’s a reason the world’s eyes are on our country, because of the sheer amount of heavy/alternative bands that are constantly upping their game and proving there is something special in the water down under.
