About Me

ROCK N ROLL RENEGADESTHE M-16’s are Perth’s foremost exponents of dynamic Detroit styled rock and ruin. Their style is best described as total energy rock ’n’ roll; loud, honest and uncompromising. And they ain’t afraid of a killer chorus either; meaning the tunes and hooks shine through the squall of guitars, bass and thundering drums. The M-16’s recently toured the east coast of Australia for the first time to strong acclaim, fulfilling the promise set by their debut 8 track mini-album Loose Bullets and last year they contributed four new songs to the compilation CD, Light The Fuse.Currently the band finishing up the recording of their second album, titled Atom Smasher, which is set to be released early next year. They are also already in process of pre production for their third album. And with a recording of Radio Birdman’s Monday Morning Gunk soon to be released on the tribute album, Flattery Vol 3 (Fandango Recs) there is plenty happening in the DMZ.
