WHICH AUSTRALIAN BAND CAN’T YOU GET ENOUGH OF?
It has to be SPEED. The sense of community that they have created within Australia and abroad is something that we resonate with strongly.
BEST GIG YOU PLAYED THIS YEAR AND WHY?
We have been fortunate enough to play a lot of really special shows this year, but our headline show in November was a moment we will never forget. It was our first headline show in 4 years and hearing the crowd sing our songs back to us was truly an unexplainable feeling.
TELL US ABOUT A CAREER HIGHLIGHT YOU HAD IN 2025
Releasing our Debut EP The Sweet Suffering in July this year was a huge turning point for us as people and as a band. We worked so hard on creating a true representation of how we’ve always wanted Closure to be.
