Formed in late 2016 by vocalist/guitarist Rob Garry as a solo studio-based project, THE ARTUROS (named in honor of the late Arturo Vega, the genius behind the iconic Ramones Presidential Seal logo) became an outlet for all the punk rock riffs that never found a home in any of his previous musical endeavors.
"The Arturos EP" was released in 2018 and received overwhelming positive feedback and repeated airplay on community radio station 4ZZZ. This success demanded that The Arturos become a live entity. Since then, they have shared the stage with great bands such as The Supersuckers (USA), The Creepshow (CAN), XSLF (IRE), Uproar (UK), CJ Ramone (USA) and Teenage Bottlerocket (USA).
The Arturos are Rob Garry on guitar and vocals, Adam Merker on bass and vocals, and Josh Jansen on drums.
THE GROUNDS is a motley collection, that should know better, reveling in loud, loose rock and roll with more than a smattering of punk rock sensibility. With members from such eclectic outfits as Rubix Cuba, Moth, Muzzy Pep, The Great Dividing Range, Tax Sea Cabs, Grannyfist and Dog, this is a band whose sound will grab you by the throat from the first chord, melt your face, shake you around a bit, and shout you a schooner afterwards.
S.M.D PUNK are a 4 piece from Newcastle, delivering high energy, kickass performances to screaming crowds everywhere- coming at you hard, fast and live!
