About:
Following its most successful year, we are hoping that in years from now, folks will look at the
2010 Soundwave line-up and wonder how so much ROCK from around the world was assembled
together in 5 cities across Australia.
For 2010 we are particularly proud to have enticed one of rock’s all time legendary artists, FAITH
NO MORE ; and one of today’s most talented and intriguing bands, MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE
to top the bill. Joining them will be indie legends and festival kings JANES ADDICTION, the kings
of dark punk AFI and one of the hottest bands in the world, PARAMORE.
We are also thrilled to be graced by the presence of the newly reformed and legendary SUNNY
DAY REAL ESTATE and the hotly anticipated return of GET UP KIDS and ALEXISONFIRE.
In true SOUNDWAVE fashion there will be plenty of great new bands to discover as well old and
new favourites. Without further ado, we present the line-up for SOUNDWAVE 2010.

It will contain the following thumbnail images of the some of the headline bands playing the
festival.

BIOGRAPHY
I would like to preface this bio by saying I hate band bio sheets. They are boring, self-
congratulatory, tripe, filled with all sorts of overdramatic adjectives and if I never have to read
another band bio sheet again, I will die a relatively happy man.
With that said, my name is George Pettit (Lead singer) and this is a brief biography of Alexisonfire.
Alexisonfire is the product of five kids from the liberal, suburban paradise of Southern Ontario. The
band started as an escape from the banalities of adolescence; basically, it was something to do on
the weekend. All five of us were active in our local music scene, which consisted mostly of kid
promoted shows at local union halls.
I think it is important to note, that we were hardly ambitious. Most of our success was a product of
our own dumb luck. When the band started in 2001 there was no future in playing “screamo” music.
No chance of getting our song on the radio. No chance of making a video or getting it played. But
who cares about that stuff anyway. We were drunk on youth and invincible in our own minds. Times
eventually would change in our favour.
Our first demo was the culmination of our very different influences at the time. Dallas (guitar
vocals) had just left a kind of grungy alternative band. Wade (guitar vocals) and Chris (bass) had
been playing together in a punk band since they were 14 and were looking for something new. I was
playing bass in a metal band that I had very little interest in. Alexisonfire was a welcome change for
all of us.
I like to think of our first demo as a mash up of Level-Plane Records’ era screamo and At the Drive-
In/Refused era post-hardcore. It’s hard for any of us to listen to our first demo and full length,
without a certain degree of humility. Imagine the art you created as a teenager, put on display for all
to see when you are in your late 20’s.
It is a disturbing thought for most, but in all honesty, those recordings served their purpose. They
allowed us to tour the United States and Canada. They afforded us the luxury and comradery of
impoverished van touring, sleeping on people’s floors in strange and terrifying new cities and
playing in dingy basements with piss soaked washrooms and hot sweaty clubs filled with alienated
youth. We would eat two meals of breakfast a day, to stay within a $10 budget. Those early
recordings gave us a real taste for the nomadic lifestyle. I look back on those days with extreme
fondness.
When we returned from the road, we began work on our second record entitled Watch Out! It was a
musically ambitious record, but when I listen to it now I still feel like we were struggling to find our
niche. At this point, things were getting much bigger for us in Canada. Our music videos were
getting played and we were given something called a Juno Award (kind of like a Grammy but more
Canadian). We were awarded for our efforts as Best New Band.
More touring ensued. We branched out across the ocean to the United Kingdom. The shows got
bigger, but there were always new places to go. We got to enjoy the sheer volume of playing in
front of thousands and at the same time, playing in halls and bars with no crowd barriers. I will
never forget playing to a packed house of 2000 in Vancouver, BC then driving to Olympia, WA to
play in front of nine kids in a pub.
Fast forward to the summer of 2006 and a record called Crisis. It was an arrival of sorts. Years of
hard touring had carved our abilities and tastes as musicians. At this point, we had been all over the
US dozens of times, not to mention Japan, Europe and Australia. We wanted to return home to our
jam space in the back of an insulation factory in St Catharines, ON.
Crisis was the beginning of our disconnect from the tired screamo bands of today. We weren’t
interested in falling in line and damning our records to a legacy of largely forgettable hair rock. We
took the best of what we liked about punk and rock and roll and applied it to the genre that gave us
our start. Crisis also marked the addition of Jordan Hastings on drums. Our original drummer was
killed in an avalanche while snowmobiling. (That’s a lie. the true story of why our first drummer
left is long and uninteresting).
Even more touring ensued - about nine months straight. It was a rigorous stint that stressed our
home relationships to near breaking point. It was a long and beautiful adventure filled with
exquisite highs and dreary lows. Touring took us to new places and we got to see our crowds grow
in the old places.
The tour was followed by a long and introspective hiatus from the road. Readjusting to home life
took some time and this was when the majority of our fourth record, Old Crows/Young Cardinals,
was written.
We recorded the instruments at Armory studios in beautiful Vancouver, BC. The vocals were
recorded at our producer, Julius Butty’s (Watch Out!, Crisis) home studio in Stony Creek, ON.
Old Crows/Young Cardinals was built on the foundation of Crisis. Musically, it moves at a feverish
pace. The lyrics span a wide range of topics, from metaphysical rebellion, to living as a nomad. It is
the culmination of the history of our band. Personally, I feel it is our best record yet, but you get to
be the judge of that.
That’s the short and skinny of it. All the names and dates may not be there but that’s about the best I
can do to squeeze the last 7 & 1/2 years of my life onto two sheets of paper. The long and fat of it
involves a sorted tale of conflicting personalities, brotherhood, tossed tie rods, barbarism,
hospitalisations, dry Canadian wit, and a cast of sultry women.

FAITH NO MORE

San Francisco, California, United States

Band Members:

• Mike Patton - Vocals

• Jon Hudson - Guitar
• Mike Bordin - Drums
• Roddy Bottum - Keyboards
• Billy Gould – Bass Guitar

Biography
11 years after famously calling it a day in April 1998, Faith No More have confirmed that they are
re-forming, and will headline Soundwave this summer.
A favourite of Metallica and Guns ‘N’ Roses, Faith No More are largely responsible for the rap/rock
crossover blueprint and for influencing many of the nu-metal bands of the 90s, including Linkin
Park, Korn and Limp Bizkit.
The vocal style of Mike Patton alone has spawned many copycats with his range easily moving
between scattergun metal vocals to soaring operatic.
The band truly penetrated the UK when their fourth album ‘Angel Dust’ went to Number 2 in the
UK album chart upon release in June 1992, with follow up album ‘King For A Day…Fool For A
Lifetime’ going in at Number 5 three years later. Fusing a wide range of musical styles in their
trademark schizophrenic fashion, from heavy metal, funk, punk, jazz and thrash metal, their music
has defined a generation.
A statement from Faith No More confirmed that they are “still young and strong enough to deliver a
kickass set, with enthusiasm to not only revisit our past but possibly add something to the present.
And so with this we've decided to hold our collective breaths and jump off this cliff.... BACK, GOD
FORBID, INTO THE MONKEY CAGE!!!”
Reviews from Faith No More’s first festival comeback show at Download 09
“Faith No More brought the first day of Download to a close tonight (June 12) with an epic
comeback set on the Main Stage.” – NME
“The only way to describe this awesome, awe-inspiring set is that it’s everything that it threatened
to be…quite honestly, the gauntlet has been thrown down for festival season.” – Metal Hammer
“Making their hotly anticipated UK festival comeback, Faith No More could do no wrong
punctuated by some of their harder numbers, including We Care A Lot, Epic and From Out Of
Nowhere - Everyone agreed this was worth keeping the Faith for.” – The UK Sun
“A set full of heaviness and wonderful eccentricity. Watching Mike Patton go from charming
crooner to screaming madman was totally enthralling.” – Ragnarokradio
“The biggest cheer of the day is reserved for Faith No More. With the stage draped entirely in red
curtains and Mike Patton dressed in a suit to match, barely a stone is left unturned after more than a
decade of silence.” – Caughtinthecrossfire.com
