“When we were asked to write a top 5 article, we found it surprisingly difficult.
So many things we could write about; we tried to think of the best way to have our band's personality on show through the things we write about. But how do we choose?

Now this one hits very close to home for us. Just about anything that could go wrong has gone wrong. Bands can’t play the show, venue changes your booking, CD printing delays. They all suck, and they all happen. It can’t be helped.Drown This Fury play The Producers Hotel (Adel) 7 August and Laundry Bar (Melb) 3 September. Their EP, 'Creatures', is available now.
