Formed in Sydney, Australia in 2004, TownHallSteps brought together five young musicians hungry for success. With a love of bands like U2, Jimmy Eat World and Foo Fighters, the boys began writing and developing music, which would eventually become the definitive sound of TownHallSteps.
The band burst onto the music scene and quickly found a following supporting local acts like Gyroscope, 28 Days & One Dollar Short. Within a year, and momentum growing, 2005 found TownHallSteps touring nationally with international acts Avril Lavigne, as well as supporting Simple Plan, All American Rejects and Sommerset in their hometown of Sydney. 2005 also saw TownHallSteps in Hong Kong to perform in a showcase alongside some of the best young acts in the world, after winning the Australian national heat of the World Battle of the Bands.
THS has released three EP’s to date, after working alongside the likes of Rick Will (Foo Fighters, No Doubt, incubus) and Lachlan Mitchell & Phil McKellar (Silverchair, Grinspoon, KissChasy). ‘The Breakdowns EP’ – debuted at No. 17 on the AIR charts, reaching No. 10 and continuing to grow in popularity. Their film clip for the single ‘Breakdowns’ (taken from the EP), was one of the Top 50 Most Requested film clips on Channel V for months and landed itself a spot in the Top 200 for 2006.
2007 saw THS filming a new clip for their second release from The Breakdowns EP – 'Breathe'. As with their first filmclip, 'Breathe' was hugely popular on Video Hits, Rage and Channel V, earning TownHallSteps a place in the Top 200 for the second year in a row.
The end of 2008 was a time of change for the band with a whole new sound evolving. The release of their single 'Disco' showed Australia the more mature sound of TownHallSteps. Davenport was impressed and THS joined Eamon Sullivan and Stephanie Rice as advocates for Davenport's Underwear, which featured extensively in the film clip for 'Disco'. TownHallSteps once again proved a hit on Channel V earning the Number One Most Requested slot over the Australia Day Long Weekend this year.

'Disco' and brand new single 'Anywhere But Here' are both enjoying high rotation on The Austereo Network, Nova Network and all regional networks nationwide. TownHallSteps will release their highly anticipated Album later this year.
