Wall of Sound presents “2015 YEAR IN REVIEW” – by Hellions’ Matt Gravolin

Posted on December 16, 2015 by Paul 'Browny' Brown

If we were to say punk/hardcore Sydney act Hellions had a slightly busy 2015, we would barely be touching on what these guys achieved collectively throughout the year. Not only did their second album “Indian Summer” debut at #19 on the Aria Charts back in Feb, but they’ve toured Australia with the likes of Enter Shikari, ’68, Capsize and Void of Vision as well as flying to the UK alongside Northlane for the Node EU/UK Tour.

They’ll continue their touring plans in 2016 at the start of the year with Stray from the Path as well as performing at the UNIFY Festival before heading into the studio to work on their next album.

Guitarist/Vocalist Matt ‘Goblin’ Gravolin took some time out to share with us his thoughts for Wall of Sound’s 2015 ‘Year in Review’
