About Me

Hi, we are The Retreat!
_____________________________________
We have finished mastering our EP and it will be out late July.
_____________________________________
From WAGONS: Store some canned food in the basement, tie up your horses, and make your way underground 'cause Wagons release their fourth album, The Rise and Fall of Goodtown, on Saturday 17 April via SpunkEMI. And to celebrate its release, Wagons will be bringing The Goodtown Roadshow to a town near you.
From THE RETREAT: We are excited to announce that we will be playing three shows with WAGONS on their album tour. Check out the show section for me details.
Click here to buy tickets for The Hopetoun show. It will sell out so get in early (and make sure you come see us!
_____________________________________
We normally have a bunch of merch in this section but at the Kris Roe show on Friday April 3 our box of shirts and some tapes went missing. If you come across a whole bunch of THE RETREAT shirts, please let us know. We need them back!
