WAAX have been pretty consistent in the spotlight since their single "I For An Eye" hit their unearthed page last year. Getting love from triple j presenters and others alike they have been working tirelessly creating catchy post punk music and and touring their new single Wild and Weak whilst getting ready to release their second EP.
"Oh woah, it's great! I think we've played Wisdom Teeth on Unearthed radio close to 300 times since you guys uploaded it so I've been hankering for another hit from camp WAAX. This one doesn't disappoint - relentless energy and spunk, it leaps out at you." - Dave Ruby Howe, Triple J.
Marie's passion and emotion is so obvious in her music and the way she performs, It's obvious her heart is worn on her sleeve and is perfect in engaging the audience. Along with staring at every member in the audience creates a great personal interaction. 'Same Same' is the moment where I start to analyse what I'm going through - I start to understand why I was experiencing these overwhelming feelings of sadness and confusion and the idea of insanity creeps in." - Marie
These emotions are all shown on stage and results in a convulsion of screeches from both vocals and guitars with rapid movements from the crowd and band.
Waax stopped in at Snake Pit on the NSW Central Coast with supports from Newcastle's punk brethren Pals who just released their debut album "In Between" which has been coping rave reviews. Triple J's Declan Byrne describes them as "Brutal, mammoth riffs. byo earplugs friends."
Conor's scratchy vocals scream through the catchy hooks and riffs whilst the rest of the band -Sam, Luke and Fraser are tighter than spandex on a 400 pound woman and work so seaminglessly together.
Other supports included the newly formed band StupidBaby, Nelipot, Bicycle Day and Lemon Tree.
