Australia's most electrifying punk band WAAX today announce they have just taken the next huge step in their career by inking a label deal in Australia and New Zealand. with Dew Process/ Universal Music Australia. WAAX, who are on track to release their brand new single 'Labrador' next month, also announce that they will be heading out across the country for a massive, not-to-be-missed national headline tour. The twelve-show tour including an all ages early show in Sydney, kicks off on the Gold Coast on May 11.
The five-piece Brisbane outfit, fronted by powerhouse Marie DeVita, have amassed a fervent fan=base from around the globe in recent years, thanks to their killer, independently-released EP's Holy Sick (2015) and Wild & Weak (2017), as well as barnstorming singles like 'Same Same', 'Wild & Weak' and "I For An Eye' plus a relentless touring schedule. 

The band is fresh from supporting US heavyweights Fall Out Boy on their recent Australian tour, which saw them playing to packed out audiences at some of the biggest venues of their career, including Margaret Court Arena, Qudos Bank Arena and Riverstage. Don't Bore Us went as far as to declare the band as "Australian legends in the making" after their Sydney leg of the tour. "WAAX brought their scathing indie-punk sound to the crowd. Frontwoman Maria DeVita vanquished the stage with a confidence that conquered its massive size... The band made the daunting arena feel as intimate as a sweaty club or a brimming festival tent." 

In the past 18 months, WAAX has played more than 60 shows including support slots with Aussie staples Violent Soho, Dune Rats, Ecca Vandal, Emperors and Stonefield with internationals like Kim Gordon (US), Guitarworld (Japan), UPSET (ex-Vivian Girls, Best Coast and Hole members) and Canadian upcoming punk buddies White Lung. They have also completed two sold-out Australian headline tours. As a band practically built for the festival stage, they were enlisted for a stack of major festivals incluing Falls Festival, The Plot, Yours & Owls, Secret Garden as well as The Smith Street Band's Pool House Party. Next month, they support Scottish power trio Biffy Clyro on their Australian east-coast tour. 

Among the action of the road, WAAX have managed to find the chance to record brand new material, which fans can expect to hear at these live shows when it is released in April. With nothing buy momentum behind them, WAAX move into this next chapter stronger than ever.
