Join New Way Home for their first show back in over a decade, alongside Pull Down The Sun and Nailfile at Double Whammy on July 12th.
Formed in 2002 from classic nineties hardcore band Dayone, New Way Home’s sound blends groove metal, thrash and grunge influence, with post hardcore, shoegaze and progressive flavours.
Never shy to juxtapose vulnerability with aggression. Light, shade and detail is where their music thrives.
Having shared stages with Slipknot, Meshuggah, Bring Me The Horizon, Architects and Devin Townsend to name a few, fusing broad influence into heavy music has always worked in their favour.
A passionate fan base, still hungry after a decade hiatus is true testament to the power of their music.
Joining New Way Home on the night is Pull Down the Sun, a heavy, atmospheric metal band from Whanganui, Aotearoa, blending late ’90s Deftones-style riffing with the modern weight of Gojira, The Ocean, and Isis. Since forming in 2014, they’ve built a reputation for powerful live shows across New Zealand and Australia, and have supported many international and local heavyweights.
Their music draws inspiration from the land and stories of Aotearoa, fusing weighty grooves with moody ambience and soaring dynamics. With a sound that’s both grounded and expansive, PDtS continues to carve their path as one of New Zealand’s most compelling modern metal acts.
Alongside New Way Home and Pull Down The Sun is Nailfile.
With members of Old Loaves, Cobra Khan and Death Church, Nailfile brings a unique taste of fierce post punk, soaked in the sonic ire of pedals on the verge of breaking down. Fusing the palettes of Siouxsie & the Banshees with the grime and grit of Unsane, there’s no signs of serotonin left in this lot.
