Biography:

It is the rare band who can stand the test of time to truly say that they have the staying power that The Wrath do. 13 years in the Business and they are still provoking mayhem everywhere they tread. They are the mainstays of Australian punk/rock. Beginning their journey in hazier days of the Australian music scene in 2003, they have covered the Australian map and have stapled their turf in every town - now they are inciting their riot once again with the release of their 2nd full length album.

In their tenure as one of Australia's most high-energy and well respected punk/rock acts, The Wrath have broken down barriers between genres, both soundwise and visually, with conviction. Whether they have founded their identity upon many genres or just simply defied a specific genre's permanancy is yours to decide, but they continuously dominate venues with bands vastly diverse within the punk, rock, metal, rockabilly, hardcore, goth and industrial realms.

The Wrath are Tommy Creeper - a maniac on the mic - his darkwave vocals aren't just filled with passion, they are laced with old-school crooner style. The guitars of the crew are looked after by Spectre Deano and the deadly Carina Hellbunny Deluxe. The sound is then anchored to the grave by the newly super-charged rhythm section of Jase Hand on drums and The Count on Double Bass.

Over the years, The Wrath have carved their own niche in the Australian music sub-culture world that has seen them gain respect from bands and audiences alike. They have shared the stage and kicked out the jams in venues with likes of The Misfits, The Meteors, Tiger Army, Nekromantix, Good Riddance, No Use For A Name, Lagwagon, The 69 Eyes, Pulley and Amity Affliction just to name a few. Their reputation as a cracking live act earned them a hometown spot on the Gold Coast Big Day Out bill along side Tool, Muse, My Chemical Romance and more in 2007.

"Tales of a Deadly Nightshade" was their highly lauded first release. It was produced by Alex Markwell, who manned the boards for such bands as Bodyjar and VanLustbader and mastered by Leon Zervos (INXS, Midnight Oil).

2015 saw The Wrath release their much anticipated 2nd full length album "Disillusions and Resolutions".
Recorded by Sid Constantine, Mixed by Govinda Doyle and Mastered by Mathew Gray, it truely showed that the music was worth the wait. The first single "Misgivings are Through" came at listeners like a bull out of the gate and set the pace for a return to touring and doing what The Wrath do best.....

2016 will see that continue with more touring and more singles to be released....
You have been warned.....

Press:

“In their permanent tenure as one of Australia’s most high-energy and well respected punk/rock acts, The Wrath have broken down barriers between genres, both soundwise and visually, with conviction. Whether they have founded their identity upon many genres or just simply defied a specific genre’s permanancy is yours to decide, but they continuously dominate venues with bands vastly diverse within the punk, rock, metal, rockabilly, hardcore, goth and industrial realms.”
Chucking A Mosh

“And anybody who has witnessed one of the band’s performances will attest to how frenetic the quintet is onstage. Their shows are always packed to the brim with the crowd screaming every lyric; their instruments are flailed about as if valueless to the band; and their black-clad aesthetics recalls the likes of The Misfits and Tiger Army.”
David Miso - Murder the Dance

“… their refined sound is a combination of dark, gritty rock with a heavy metal edge. Vocalist Tommy Creeper is very much the consummate frontman: adept at holding the stage and the audience’s attention, Creeper’s ability is passionate and genuine throughout – backed by quality musicians,..”
