Responsible for some of the most uncompromising and experimental hardcore music, Grand Rapids, Michigan five-piece hardcore luminaries LA DISPUTE return to Australia in August to play their biggest national headline to date to celebrate Wildlife, the 10 year anniversary and recital tour.
Kicking off in Brisbane on Friday, August 18, the tour will hit Sydney, Newcastle, Canberra, Adelaide, Perth before finishing up in Melbourne on Sunday, August 27 at the Forum Theatre.
Released now 12 years ago, Wildlife, LA DISPUTE’s seminal and brilliant sophomore record is an examination of a city in flux, the people who populate it and the tragedies that befall them and us seemingly every day.
Wildlife, told through the short stories and journal entries of a young man alone in a room, documents an individual’s search for meaning in the trials of others among the fallout of his own unnamed tragedy. An album for hard times, harsh landscapes, and for now, as the last three years have proved its themes, in a sense, universal, or which have at least breathed new life into all art exploring how it is to find purpose among the ruins of modern existence.
