In an era where originality is passé, plagiarism is rewarded, and innovation is lost in a sea of mediocrity, few acts have the courage to forge a new path. A new sound. A seldom few dare to look outside the 'tunnel vision'-like music world we are consumed by. However there are those who not only look outside this world, but refuse to acknowledge its existence. It is in this realm that Australian rock act .hinge reside.
Since their inception in Melbourne in 1997, .hinge have been at the forefront of the Australian rock scene, showcasing their own inimitable, uncompromisingly original and infectious blend of music across the country.
Following their critically-acclaimed 2005 album (Something to Adore), .hinge are set to release their new opus, The Rise & Fall of Living Great. In concept, it is a commentary on the ebbs and flows, the push and pulls - and indeed the rise and fall - of the modern society.
The Rise & Fall of Living Great is an album so vast in melodic texture and mood, that it defies classification.
Recorded and co-produced by ARIA Award-winner Peter Reggie Bowman, and mastered by Grammy Award-winner Scott Hull in Sony's New York City studios, The Rise & Fall of Living Great continues the band's refusal to follow musical trends, furthering their journey into uncharted musical territory, and cementing their place as one of Australia's premier rock acts.
