2023 was the year that Vilify levelled the fuck up with their music and on-stage assault across the country. Not only did they drop three stellar singles in the form of ‘Take The Pill‘, ‘From The Inside‘, and 'Dread Addict' but they tore up stages alongside the likes of ATLVS, Bare Bones, and the plethora of bands that came out for AfterMath Festival in Brisbane.
With no signs of slowing down, we grabbed drummer Kieran Jackson to take us back through his year, the bands he frothed (including clean sweep from Spiritbox) and what else we have to look forward to in 2024 and beyond...
