In what would have to be the biggest "Fuck Yeah" moment in 2018 so far, Sydney's Bare Bones have just been announced as the replacement support act for political punk rockers Rise Against's upcoming Australian tour. Oakland band SWMRS who were set to make their Australian debut have had to pull out and will no longer be coming down with no rescheduled dates revealed as of yet.
Bare Bones scored rave reviews when they supported Stone Sour on their East Coast Tour last year following the release of their debut album Bad Habits and now rAdelaide and Western Australian music lovers will be able to experience the Bones in all their glory when the tour kicks off at HBF Stadium, Perth on February 7th.

Pagan will also join the bands on the East Coast and BERRI TXARRAK will play rAdelaide
