"The Sky, The Earth & All Between isn't exactly a return to form (did ARCHITECTS ever really lose their place in the upper echelon of metal musos!?), but it does lean into what fans want from the band, rather than what they want to experiment with..."

Took a drive to Parkway Drive to gift the lads their own Funko Pop Vinyl figures; to commemorate their 20th Anniversary and all they've done for heavy music in Australia.
Earlier in the year, we presented Parkway Drive with a very special 20th Anniversary surprise; their own custom made Pop Vinyl figures.
Big love to the guys for all they've done for heavy music in Australia and beyond.
Who thinks they should release their own Funko Pops?

Billerwell was my first fellow gay pal I met in the local metal scene. His bar, Come To Daddy, has become a HQ for the alternative scene on Friday nights! Hook in and head down to West End to support it 🏳️🌈🤘
"Being gay and a metalhead, there wasn’t a space for me when I was younger where I could listen to heavier/alt music and find likeminded queers. I hope others find something in Come To Daddy Brisbane that they can identify with and feel at home."
