WINTERUN – INTO THE UNDERGROUND
Below the shallows of mainstream music there lies an alternative scene running rich and deep. Having spent the last five years building a strong clan within this healthy community in Australia and abroad, Winterun now lure you Into The Underground.
Following on from the success of The Full Effect (2004) and Welcome To… (2006), Winterun have captured their live energy with album number three. Into The Underground sounds like a truckload of logs set loose down a mountainside. It’s a rolling blend of infectious heavy rock - chockfull of chunky riffs, grooves and stomp.
Into The Underground was recorded by Neil Thomason at Head Gap Studios (Magic Dirt, The Slits, Batrider) and mixed/mastered by Paul Fox (Deftones, Dirty Three, Nation Blue). The album was tracked onto two inch tape, giving it a thick analogue sound - adding extra depth to Winterun’s heavy grooves.
Winterun remain proudly independent with distribution in Australia through Amphead Music, in Europe through Undertow Records and worldwide through digital distributors The Orchard (iTunes).
An international following has been generated through strong online marketing, reviews in foreign press, airplay on overseas radio and inclusion on internationally released compilations.
Winterun’s relentless live presence has seen them headline nationwide and support some of Australia’s finest rock bands including Rocket Science, The Butterfly Effect, Mammal, Peeping Tom, Rollerball, Fort and Dreadnaught. With their formidable live set and the new album as ammunition, Winterun plan to tour Europe in 2008. In the meantime, they’ll continue burning up the road across Australia touring Into The Underground and the first single Stompa.
