“There’s some seriously beefy riffs throughout, starting with the opening riff from the second track “Torn Apart” and continuing on with other gems like “Alive”, “A World In Waiting” et al. The guitar work throughout the album in general is impeccable and even the lead breaks are tastefully written and performed with aplomb. The rhythm section is ever-present and of a similarly high standard, with the bass tone cutting through and providing a breath of fresh air in a genre where said instrument is typically buried under drop-tuned guitars and kick drums. The tub-thumper is not short of talent either, providing plenty of clean fills to go with the driving rhythms. When TUTV decide to get heavy, old mate drummer certainly holds up his end of the bargain with some very nice tight kick patterns the likes of which you would more readily associate with heavier genres.”

“Yeah, yeah! We got a little bit terrified because it was like all these people had put forward all this money and oh wow, they really want to help us out, shit we better do a good job.”

“The energy from the stage was unmatchable. The band are extremely involved in their performance and were and absolute delight to watch. Especially seeing how involved and hyped up their audience was. I don't think I've seen that much energy during a band at POW! in a while now. Even though I've never heard them before, I was compelled to bop along and even sing along to their catchy hooks, seeing almost an entire venue doing the same is a little influential as well...”

“What makes Take Us To Vegas unique is their energy, with the band priding themselves on always giving 100%. This extends to anything from their manic on-stage antics to mingling with fans. A Take Us To Vegas live show isn’t just any ordinary show – it’s an experience.”

“Hey guys, I would like to introduce you to a band I recently came upon called Take Us to Vegas. They are from Australia and they are quite talented! I had a chance to listen to their latest single “Apparently, It’s Frowned Upon” which was released back in October and I have to say, from their debut album “The Road Ahead” to the release of this track, they have progressed a great deal! I hope you will take the time to check them out and keep an eye on them! Below are a few links for you to check out! TUTV on Facebook TUTV on iTunes TUTV on YouTube Apparently, It’s Frowned Upon”

“Comprised of five watertight musicians, Ryan Goodall, Alex Reichelt, Liam Hennessy, Nicholas Bellringer and Dean Parke fuse together their collective punk rock, rock and heavy rock spirit. Providing far too many sparks of fire to this canister of petroleum nitrate they’ve provided, when combined, they let our ears onto massive thread-course of thrashing guitar lines and belligerent drum phrases & smashes. Laced with cradles of polished sing-a-long anthems on “The Road Ahead,” their ‘Tik Tok & Dynamite Mashups’ plus ‘Here To Stay,’ ‘Light The Fire’ and ‘I Tried To Walk Away,’ scream passionately as some of their best. Catchy, addictive and modestly repetitive, repeat listens are needed across “The Road Ahead” for maximum loudness and rock fantasia.”

“Recently I had an awesome opportunity to interview Take Us To Vegas (an Australian 5 piece rock band), who were one of the opening bands to play at Kid Hudson’s Melbourne gig. Before they performed I sat down with Nick, Ryan and Liam from the band. As soon as I met them I honestly admitted that I hadn’t really listened to the band so I mainly asked questions for people who haven’t heard of Take Us To Vegas before.”

“Take Us To Vegas are an Australian rock act who sound like Panic At The Disco plugged some decent guitars in and got heavy. They’re currently prepping a new album and EP, but they’ve already got tunes out there in the wild, and we’ve got the smooth, slick ‘Apparently It’s Frowned Upon’ below, which you can buy now. On this evidence, someone really will be taking them to Vegas, for a tour, very shortly.”

“This is definitely a band to watch out for. We are expecting big things from the boys so follow their journey and catch them at The Colosseum in the years to come.”

“Take Us To Vegas - 5 guys that don't go on unless they go off! Party rock with heavy & pop influences that make you keen to get mental.”

“If there was a class for new bands looking to build huge amounts of buzz in as short a time as possible Take Us To Vegas (TUTV) would make perfect teachers. They have picked up over 17,000 new followers on Twitter in the last few months and have doubled their amount of likes on Facebook. Today they have released their new single and film clip “Apparently It’s Frowned Upon” and just upon one listen you can tell that this band is about to take over the airwaves.... Take Us To Vegas may have a lot of buzz, but they also have the skills to back it up. Their new single “Apparently It Is Frowned Upon” is a hit and run of molten guitars, hormonal vocals, and machine-gun rhythms. It is produced by Kalju Tanuma who is responsible for 28 Days, Body Jar and The Temper Trap, just to name a few. The new single has all of the ingredients to gain further attention with calls already being sourced from USA Festivals and USA College bookers.”

“Aussie punk-rockers Take Us To Vegas (TUTV) craft energetic tunes with an aggressive, guitar-led emotive attack. Distorted power chords lead tracks like “I Think You’re the One”, a direct ode to new love with whiny backing vocals and a highly flexible lead, which transitions from semi-somber croon into an enraged scream. One of their most accomplished efforts is “Heart Attack”, a forceful attack that relies on intense percussion and a dual guitar attack, one heavily distorted and the other emitting a wiry effect. It’s the sort of effort that the younger emo and punk crowd will love. I expect this five-piece from the Sunshine Coast to invade radio waves fairly quickly. They have already played with the likes of Blessed By a Broken Heart (Canada), 28 Days, Bodyjar, and Behind Crimson Eyes. They’re on the rise. And fast. I had a listen to their upcoming single, “Apparently It’s Frowned Upon”, and was impressed. It contains a thunderous chorus that’s anthem ready....”

“Supporting the band on the night were some Brissy locals Take Us To Vegas, who came on stage at 8.30pm to the tune of Bangarang. As soon as the boys hit the stage, a wall of some seriously heavy sound just smashed you straight in the chest. The five-piece band got off to a rocking start as the band worked very well together from the get-go. Frontman Ryan Goodall’s vocals sounded fantastic as he moved from singing to screaming and back again with ease. The synchronised foot stomps from the guitarists and great breakdowns offered much entertainment for the few fans that were there. With an energetic ferocity, the band ripped through their set full of power riffs, guitar solos and songs such as Coming for You and Sloppy Drunk, with all the band members getting to have a crack at vocal duties at one point or another. Bringing their set to a close was a massive cover job with such songs as Kesha’s Tick Tock, Gaga’s Poker Face and Justin Timberlake’s Sexy Back.”

“The crowd starts to thicken and gravitate towards the tiny stage in anticipation of headliners Take Us To Vegas. A little mosh circle breaks out in the first song and fight dancers rush in to fill the gap. TUTV (a self-prescribed moniker) deliver a raw, aggressive and energetic style that showcases a diverse musical set from post-emo melodies to post-hardcore breakdowns. But charismatic frontman, Ryan Goodall, takes the spotlight almost orchestrating the crowd into a frenzy. They close with a bang, finishing on some infectiously addictive mash-up songs covering artists like Ke$ha and The Black Eyed Peas, which continue to plague me for the rest of the night. ”
