Our buddies over at Maniacs recently caught up with Byron Bay metal band In Hearts Wake ahead of their tour with Dream On Dreamer, Being As An Ocean & Endless Heights and found out what goes on the stereo backstage at their shows.
There are definitely more than a few surprises in amongst the list, that features tunes from artists such as, Neil Young, America, Nick Cave, London Grammar & even Drake.
Gearing up for a tour and making playlists isn’t all these guys are up to though. Not only have the band just released a new album called Earthwalker, they’re working alongside Carbon Neutral on an environmental initiative where one bio-diverse native tree will be planted for every album that was pre-ordered ‘in the hope of restoring and preserving the natural beauty of our environment’.
Hardcore hippies indeed!
Have a listen to their Backstage Playlist below and make sure you get down to one of their shows on their upcoming tour.
