Since forming in late 2014, The Unknowns (Joshua Hardy – vocals/guitar, Nathan

Montgomery – bass, Tom Butler – drums, Eamon Sandwith – guitar) have brought their old-fashioned authentic rock n’ roll to numerous venues around Australia, including but not limited to: The Triffid, 170 Russell, Sol Bar, The Gov, The Zoo, The Tote, Factory Theatre and the Barwon Club.

Their new album, entitled ‘East Coast Low’ is a compilation of songs written by all members of the band and was recorded at Hunting Ground Studios in Brisbane.

Engineered by Cody McWaters, the group spent a week in the studio refining what will be their sophomore LP. In the opening track, lead guitarist and vocalist Joshua Hardy sings: “Ill do what I have to do, to get home back to you” – his voice full of echo and a sense of timeless desperation.

Similarly, on the track ‘Thinking About You’ he laments: “Every point of latitude, makes me think of my position”. The songs have a romantic overture that is reminiscent of the first 3 Ramones albums, pouring ones heart out through the
medium of well written garage punk music.

The riffs are all power, full of hooks and fascinating melodic
guitar interplay between Hardy and Sandwith.

Set for release in March of 2023, ‘East Coast Low’ was mastered by Mikey Young and will be released via Bargain Bin records
