The Understatement are five ordinary guys from the Western Suburbs of Sydney. Since forming in 2007, the band have been hard at work playing as many shows as they possibly can (including festivals such as Black Stump, Big Exo Day & Easterfest) and have made many new friends and fans along the way. Influenced by artist such as Underoath, Emery, Saosin, Anberlin, Haste the Day & August Burns Red, The Understatement combine heavy guitar riffs, epic soaring vocal melodies & an abundance of harmonies to create their own unique blend of heavy alternative rock. In 2008 the band recorded and independently released their debut EP titled “So Blind” which has received much positive feedback. At the end of 2009 the band took an extended break to re-direct goals and write new material. After a minor lineup change The Understatement are back in 2010 with new management & a professional attitude. Having already recorded their second EP at Electric Sun Studios with Shane Edwards & Dave Petrovic earlier this year, the boys have been hard at work playing shows, promoting and organising a launch date/follow up tour. The EP is titled “Violent Words with Violent Ends” and will hopefully be released in early September.
The Understatement are proud to have shared the stage with acts such as The Mission in Motion, Elora Danan, City Escape, Fifty Sixx, Worse Case Scenario, Stealing O’neal, Wherewolves, Safe Hands, Me Vs You, Calerway, Planet of the Stereos, In This Defense, Ladies & Gentlemen, The Attendance, Chasing Light, Seven Steady, Full Hearts (Sevem Mi Lord), Sydonia, Kill The Capitol, Dopamine (UK) & MC Lars (USA).
