OUR DEBUT ALBUM "FOR SALE" OUT NOW
Hailing from Sydneys Northern Beaches, this original rock 5 piece is ready to be heard. Their music is ever changing and is an expression of the Bands emotion and experiences. To quote a review of AcoustikA's music that was recently featured in Sydney street press? "The music they create is unpredictable. What seemingly starts out as fairly straight heavy rock in one song jumps to frenetic punk in the next followed by stoner rock grooves or an anthem seventies sound."
With a reputation developing for their notorious AcoustikA rock parties that have best been described as "a live music video" and regularly feature cage dancers, pole dancers and fire breathers! AcoustikA is a band not to be missed!
In 2006, Acoustika's track "MY STORY" received highly commended in the Billboard World Songwriting competition and after their Wild Turkey Battle of the Bands victory... AcoustikA focused its energy on the bands debut album "For Sale" - OUT NOW!2006/07 has been a big year for the band with AcoustikA signing licencing deals for 3 of their tracks to be released in the U.S.
"CYBER IDOL" was released in October 2006 for NO COVER MAGAZINE - a music and action sports lifestyle publication, featuring on the rock compilation CD "GROUPIES SUCK VOL 8"
"CAN'T HOLD ON" was released January 2007 and featured on a "NEW MUSIC SERIES 2007 ROCK/ALTERNATIVE compilation CD.
"MYSPACE GIRL" was released for "GROUPIES SUCK VOL 10"and the band had a featured interview for NO COVER MAGAZINE - MARCH 07 ISSUE..
The band also had several tracks featured on various sports/lifestyle DVD's including the soundtrack for Layne Beachley's (World no#1 female surfer) HAVAIANAS BEACHLEY CLASSIC SURFING EVENT! Action from the DRIPPING WET PRO SURF COMPETITION, A MOTO X DVD and other local Northern Beaches production surfing & Skate DVD's.
2007 is already shaping up to be massive year for AcoustikA, with the bands' track "CAN'T HOLD ON" being awarded highly commended in the 2007 Billboard World Songwriting competition and recently, they returned from their SPRING BREAK TOUR to the U.S.A March/April, that saw them play shows for Spring Break parties on SOUTH PADRE ISLAND TEXAS, AUSTIN TEXAS for SXSW and in LA.
