About Distortion and Dissonance

“Australia has such a strong underground hardcore scene” says Lachlan Dale, the man behind Art As Catharsis.

“There are some bands right up there with some of the big international names – GAZA, CONVERGE, THE CHARIOT, and THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN.”

“I want to help those Australian bands get their names out there; for more people to hear to what this country has to offer. These bands deserve more attention from the international scene.”

“I truly believe Australia is a hot bed for challenging, experimental, progressive and psychedelic music. That is why Art As Catharsis exists – it’s our mission to help spread our love of Australian music.”

Please help us in our mission – spread the word and share this free sampler about.
