Hammers
The Moment of Struth Tour
Friday 14th November
Over the last few years, Gold Coast’s HAMMERS have fast become one of Australia’s most tirelessly active and difficult to categorise purveyors of the heavies in the country.
Anthemic, riff driven post-hardcore, alternative hooks by the fistful and pit-dwelling beatdowns… all dancing on the edge of where rock’n’roll falls hard for metal. Apparently delivering everything you want in a song might actually be achievable?!
This Spring, armed with new material and a fire in the belly like never before, the lads hit the road on their ‘The Moment of Struth Tour’. They’ll bash out not just the three singles, but additionally showcase a handful of unheard material across venues up and down the East Coast of Oz, following recent tours of New Zealand and Japan.
Be the first to hear Hammers’ freshly crafted bangers, up close and personal. It’s been a hot minute and the boys are back and ready to rage! Do not miss these shows. Supports to be announced.

- Doors 7pm
