Congrats to Being Jane Lane, Paper Thin and Claws & Organs, who have been selected from 600 bands across Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria with a spot on The VB Hard Yards tour in early October.
The trio will play a series of east-coast gigs with Aussie faves Alex Lahey (Melbourne only), Tired Lion (Sydney only), WAAX (Brisbane only) and RAAVE TAPES (Newcastle only).
After four years, Being Jane Lane (QLD) are currently working on their debut album. The all-girl, punk-rock powerhouse have certainly impressed their Sunshine State audience, previously winning the People's Choice category at the Gold Coast Music Awards.
It's been two years since Paper Thin (NSW) had their first jam, but they've certainly squeezed a lot in to that time. Two EPs and a few festival appearances later (Poison City Weekender and Thrashville) Spencer, Aidan and Liam have won the hearts of the DIY scene, putting in the hard yards all while sticking to their day jobs.
Claws & Organs (VIC) have spilled blood, sweat and tears on every stage in Melbourne over the last five years - they're not afraid of a little hard work. After the band nearly fell apart, they held on, found a new member and became their strongest iteration yet.
To be a part of the VB Hard Yards action, register your interest for a ticket before Sunday 23 September for your chance to be there. Click here for more information.
