Discover Australian Melodic Hardcore Bands #1


Today I will be sharing three great melodic hardcore bands each from different states.

New South Wales

Keepsake

From the city of Sydney, past Wild Fires members and a few new faces come together to write sad songs you can't help but sing along to. Keepsake released their debut EP Slowburn on the April 10th of 2021 and have been talking about releasing new music very soon. I've personally seen this band live and they put on a great show.

Check out the song Passivity from their debut EP on YouTube:




South Australia

Raccoon City

Formerly known as Raccoon City Police Department the band released music from 2011-2015 then went on hiatus. They returned several years later releasing a single under their new name Raccoon City. This emo/melodic hardcore group is made up of  5 talented people from Adelaide. From all the images and footage I have seen they put on a great show.

Check out the single CARNATION from their second album on YouTube:




Western Australia

Vacant Home

Formed in late 2016, the isolated city of Perth brings us a 5 piece melodic hardcore band. They started their journey by releasing their first single Shiver on the Dreambound YouTube channel to which they received raving reviews. Since being formed the original vocalist and bassist have left but they have new members and continue to play play gigs. I have personally seen this band many times and was never disappointed . 

Check out their very first single Shiver on YouTube:
