iron on

IRON ON are a four-piece rock band from Brisbane. They have been playing shows within city limits and well beyond since July 2002, and have played alongside bands such as Sleater-Kinney (US), Ben Kweller (US) The Shins (US), Iron and Wine (US), Lou Barlow & The New Folk Implosion (US), Jackson United (US), M Ward (US), Magic Dirt, Jebediah, Art of Fighting, Bluebottle Kiss, The Superjesus, Screamfeeder, Giants of Science, Sekiden, Sea Life Park, Origami, The Bites, The Zebras, Turnpike, Denvar, Ponyloaf, Audiophile, The Null Set and Remake Remodel.

The band has toured extensively throughout QLD, NSW, SA and VIC; in 2003 they played the Brisbane leg of the Livid Festival. In January 2005, they played the Big Day Out. Iron On’s latest offspring is the follow up to their second EP Everybody Calm Down (“Indeed, this is a diverse, exceptional piece of work.” – Time Off Magazine, Wed May 5th) which landed the band airplay on national and local radio. Oh The Romance is Iron On’s most accessible and concise recording thus far.

Working with esteemed Brisbane producer Magoo (Midnight Oil, Jebediah, Regurgitator) the band have recorded the sort of album you can BBQ to: big on guitars, big on choruses and big on melody. Oh The Romance is hardly a more mature (ie. boring!) record but it is undoubtablely Iron On’s finest work to date. Launching the album nationally in October, Oh The Romance is the band’s first recording for hot-as-hell Brisbane label Plus One Records (Giants Of Science, Intercooler).

Distributed by Reverberation Distribution, the CD will be available everywhere good records are sold. In a nutshell, everyone’s gonna buy it, everyone’s gonna love it, everyone’s gonna dance to it and then eventually everyone will love each other to it. Soon a generation of Iron On related love children will walk the earth. Don’t fear them, they may dance funny but they’re gonna be good kids. Hurrah !!! Hurrah !!! Hurrah !!! No shit !!!
