Weapon Head

WEAPON HEAD Sometimes, if you work hard enough - and then work a little harder - things happen....WEAPON HEAD have always done this, and the results are on the board. The unbelievable opportunity in 2007 for the boys to travel to America and support Black Sabbath with Dio and Alice Cooper at The Locobazooka Festival was the first major mile stone. This came up after the festival organizers picked up WEAPON HEAD through their website and asked them directly if they were interested in the gig.......they were!

The unbelievable opportunity in 2007 for the boys to travel to America and support Black Sabbath with Dio and Alice Cooper at The Locobazooka Festival was the first major mile stone. This came up after the festival organizers picked up WEAPON HEAD through their website and asked them directly if they were interested in the gig.......they were!

This touring experience proved to be invaluable for the band who got to play before these rock legends in front of 15000 screaming fans. Some strong key contacts have been made from this tour, who have WEAPON HEAD on their radar.

The boys returned home to Australia to contemplate their next move, that move seemed inevitable - it was time to find a producer and record. With a strong set of material WEAPON HEAD went about searching for the right producer for the job. They found that man in Steve James from Rocking Horse Studios at Byron Bay. Steve has worked with icons like The Sex Pistols, Airbourne, Cold Chisel, The Angels, The Screaming Jets and Shihad to name a few. His 35 years industry experience in The U.K, Europe and Australia has been shared with WEAPON HEAD unsparingly and the band have since formed a great, really strong bond with Steve.

The result of this recording jaunt was a shiny new self titled E.P full of grunt, attitude and promise. The boys were excited?

Soon WEAPON HEAD were getting attention from this recording. The title track ?The March of Misery' finished 10th place in The Australian Songwriters Association - Song of the year 2008. The other 4 tracks from this competition were short listed to the top 100. This was from over 3000 entries Australia wide.

Next port of call was the 2008 U.K Song Writing Competition. The track ?The March of Misery' finished up a Finalist with ?Bleed' finished up a Semi Finalist. This was an amazing result from over 8000 entries worldwide.

Back on home soil WEAPON HEAD turned their attention to Triple J and put 3 tracks on The Triple J Unearthed Website. In no time at all the boys got the following mind blowing results on the Triple J Unearthed Charts at the end of November 2008.

No. 1 The March of Misery
No. 4 Bleed and
No. 8 Can't Release the Pain.

Straight after this WEAPON HEAD were approached by The Going Ballisticyx Snowboard Show. They were loving the above 3 tracks and worked out a Synchronization Deal with the band to use all 3 tracks in their entirety on the show with full credits on December 28 2008.

Bring on 2009! WEAPON HEAD started the new year off with some fantastic news. Brad Bush, editor for Cdbaby.com contacted the band and informed them that they had been chosen for a full feature review of their E.P on the front page of cdbaby.com. Since then the bands profile page on cd baby has been getting hammered!

WEAPON HEAD was then approached by Nicky Baldrian from Two Side Moon Promotions in The U.K. Nicky wanted to do a feature on the band in U.K rock publication Fireworks magazine. This was all agreed on and the feature will be coming up in the April Issue. Nicky will also be handling all aspects of promotion of the band to media, radio and labels in The U.K for the next 12 months.

With current interest from high profile management, agencies and labels from Australia, U.K, Germany and America. 2009 is looking to be huge. New material is flowing thick and fast - and what are the band doing right now?..working bloody harder!
