chemical chokehold presents a release party showcasing new music from local wollongong acts. 

CHEMICAL CHOKEHOLD’s second album, NSW PUNK, pushes the boundary of what punk is. performing genreblending songs with harsh vocals, alongside a band of mannequins wielding inflatable instruments, it’s an unconventional spectacle that blurs the line between performance art and live music.

performing parallel to pentagonal post-punk powerhouse, PRINCESS UNIT, who are as captivating as they are stylish. this outfit of local icons are releasing a single which showcases their unique genre blend and pure talent.

master lyricist, THRAIES, seamlessly fuses emotional hip-hop and trap metal, resulting in cathartic songs fuelled by angst. his upcoming single goes back to his roots in hip-hop and r&b. 

CUT THROAT are a fresh rapid rising band with a self proclaimed genre of ‘rock & hop’. their raw energy on stage, and influences from an array of bands such as rage against the machine, are going to set fire to the stage. 

SICKBAY wear their political activism on their sleeves. kicking off the night with their blend of shoegaze and punk, they’re performing a new song that proves that they’re a force to be reckoned with.
