About Me

'they say in the world of music you need a mind as sharp as an axe, a body ready to rock harder then a jackhammer and... an IRON-HIDE' - Jon Ackroyd

IRONHIDE are a three piece band from Wollongong with a formidable sound and a dominating stage presence. They are quickly climbing the ranks in the local music scene.

Influenced by the icons of their heavy rock forefathers, IRONHIDE combine the heaviness of Metallica, the groove of Pantera, the riff-wizardry of Iron Maiden and the "good-time" aesthetics of Van Halen.

IRONHIDE have been together for 3 years, gigging locally and in Sydney, Winning over fans and friends along the way. Some achievements include coming 2nd in the "Liechhardt Live" band competition and becoming Uni-Bar and Mercury Bluescope band-comp finalists.

Featuring Matt Bresolin on guitars, Ryan Beveridge on bass and vocals and Daniel Mendygral on drums, IRONHIDE will assault your senses with musicianship, energy and catchy songs.

IRONHIDE formed in the late stages of high school, when Matt Bresolin was interested in forming a band. After recruiting Daniel Mendygral on drums and Ryan Beveridge on bass for his Music HSC, the trio clicked and decided to begin writing original music. Various practices with other members went underway but it always came back to the core three members. A name was decided and IRONHIDE was born.Layout Created at ...net
