PALEFACE SWISS are the fastest rising force in heavy music today. Anyone who has borne witness to their live shows, critics and fans alike, can attest that their dominance is unassailable. Their trajectory unstoppable.
Having sold every ticket to every show (with the exception of Newcastle!!!) on their 2025 Australian tour, PALEFACE SWISS return in January 2027 armed with a new EP, a bigger show and 2 very incredible special guests
Joining the fray for this run of shows are Canadian metalcore legends, COUNTERPARTS and Colorado's heavyweight contenders, FOX LAKE.
COUNTERPARTS, fronted by metalcore's irrepressible poet laureate and agent provocateur, Brendan Murphy, are headliners in their own rights having already smashed their way around Australia to sell out crowds and great acclaim. Putting the icing on this already insane tour are FOX LAKE. Formed in 2017 in Denver, Colorado, Fox Lake fuse heavy riffs, hip-hop, relentless energy and hardcore attitude into a powerful live spectacle. They are a growing global presence and redefining heavy music on their own terms.
Canadian metal band Counterparts have been playing music together since 2007 and have been traveling internationally to perform their songs live for their fans. The band has had a bit of a roster change since their first inception, but the band currently consists of lead vocalist Brendan Murphy, guitarists Jesse Doreen and Adrian Lee and drummer Kelly Bilan.
Having had the opportunity to watch their live set, I can honestly say that their live performance is an experience worth having. The venue was a bit small, and the stage was really only a foot higher than the ground, but I think that that only added to the experience. Right off the bat, the band immediately starts playing their first song as soon as they pick up their instruments. They have a ridiculous energy that is rivaled by the energy of their fans. Speaking of fans, the band knows exactly what the fans want from them, and know how to play their part: midway through just the first song, Brendan Murphy jumps into the crowd to do some crowd surfing, an act that is completely supported by the fans. Another example of how the small venue made the experience better, because I really don’t think he would have made it back onto the stage with the timing that he did
