2024 release. During the height of the pandemic, Melbourne, Australia experienced the longest lockdown in the world, keeping residents inside their homes for a total of 262 days. In the midst of this were the five members who would form Awol, driven to create and write music almost out of necessity. Once the ban was lifted, the band hit the recording studio and released their debut EP, Awol, in 2021 through Last Ride Records. The timing was perfect as the Australia hardcore scene was experiencing serious growth, and Awol soon found themselves playing shows with Speed, Iron Mind, No Apologies, and on a country wide run supporting No Pressure in early 2022. The band's persistent drive and heavy playing style caught the attention of Flatspot Records, who now release Awol's debut full length, Tear 'Em To Bits. ATTENTION: please remember that all Blu-Rays are Region A USA and all DVDs Region 1 USA and you will need a multi region Blu-Ray/DVD player to play them.
