First established in 1998 as a development label by Dual ARIA nominated producer and Superheist guitarist dw Norton, Faultline Records has evolved into a fully fledged record label promoting some of Australia's most exciting rock acts and importing some of the best new talent from abroad.
In January 2007 Norton partnered up with Gary Buckley in the label. Buckley (from U.K. punk pioneers One Way System) brought a wealth of knowledge and a punk rock ethos that has strengthend the resolve of the label and it's artists alike! With a focus on signing big guitar driven bands, the label is currently heavily involved in exposing the great depth of undiscovered talent in Australia's underground.
In 2007 Faultline Records ventured into the world of tour promoting and are now very active in bringing great international bands to Australia. Australian tours such as L.A.GUNS, SHAM 69, PETER & THE TEST TUBE BABIES, THE BUSINESS and STIFF LITTLE FINGERS are putting Faultline Records and Touring well and truely on the map!
Faultline Tour Announcements for 2009... THE 69 EYES
Direct from Finland... THE HELSINKI VAMPIRES are finally about to sink their teeth in Oz! After a massive petition by the band's adoring Aussie fan club, demand was so high that it made it impossible to stop one of Europe's hottest Goth Rock bands from spreading their wings and flying to Australia! Playing hits from their stellar 6 album career and tracks from their up-coming new album… THE 69 EYES are set to scorch the stage and possess the souls of Australia’s goth rock fanatics!
Formed in Helsinki’s rock clubs back in the early 90s, the five-piece take their influences from far and wide. Elvis Presley, The Misfits, Guns ‘n’ Roses and a hefty dose of The Sisters of Mercy can all be heard throughout their music. From comic books to cult movies, The 69 Eyes capture the rock ‘n’ roll zeitgeist and turn it into the sort of music that makes you want to party. Hard. Over the years THE 69 EYES have become chart toppers in Europe and adored by an army of fans across the globe. Fans of fellow Fins HIM will love what our Helsinki Vampires have to offer!

Walk The Earth have just finished a short stint in Melbourne's Studio One recording a new EP titled "The Winsome Savage." The new line up seems to have clicked as by all accounts the new material is the best yet from the Melbourne quintet. New vocalist Matt Currie says " In my short time in Walk The Earth I really feel like I've found my home and working with such an experienced group makes the song writing process a pleasure. Now I just can't wait to take it to the stage!"
FAULTLINE RECORDS & TOURING are proud to announce the signing of Melbourne alt-rockers THE SCISSOR FILE! The band are currently holed up in the studio recording tracks for their new EP "PLAYED ON 45s" due out on VALENTINES DAY FEB 14 2009!
Producer, dw Norton, (Managing Director, Faultline Records), commented; “I'm not easily impressed, but once in a while a band will come to my attention by a killer live performance or great songs that are undeniable in their appeal... The Scissor File have done just that in such a way that it completely blows me off my feet! These guys are one of the best rock acts to come out of Melbourne in a very long time! The Scissor File is an extraordinary band, dynamic performers and consummate entertainers. We are looking forward to a wonderful partnership and killer EP to kick start a promising career!
