Bio
.. "And as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside; .. and the birds came and devoured them.".... .. .. A corroding molestation of 1960’s melancholic pop by 1980’s garage drone, Sydney based indie three-piece, The Waysiders, have a sound that has drawn comparisons to Sonic Youth, The Jesus and Mary Chain and The Velvet Underground. Beneath a collapsed wall of sound, contorted guitars tangle with a grinding rhythm section, to create a drearily darkened, yet happy plaything. .... The band has performed alongside a host of local favourites including Cut off your Hands, Mercy Arms, Van She, Ghostwood, and Children Collide. In late 2008 “Crash”, a song Richard Kingsmill has referred to as “timeless”, received rotation on Triple J. The band went on to become a Triple J feature artist and was subsequently selected to play at the Triple J hottest 100 party 2009 with Grinspoon and The Dukes of Windsor. “Crash” was also recently used in a skateboarding film collaboration between Slam Skate Magazine and Billabong. While two tracks are being used in an upcoming a surfing documentary by Rip Curl. .... The band recently recorded a string of tracks at Big Jesus Burger Studios, Sydney.

Bio:

"And as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside;
and the birds came and devoured them."

A corroding molestation of 1960’s melancholic pop by 1980’s garage drone, Sydney based indie three-piece, The Waysiders, have a sound that has drawn comparisons to Sonic Youth, The Jesus and Mary Chain and The Velvet Underground. Beneath a collapsed wall of sound, contorted guitars tangle with a grinding rhythm section, to create a drearily darkened, yet happy plaything.

The band has performed alongside a host of local favourites including Cut off your Hands, Mercy Arms, Van She, Ghostwood, and Children Collide. In late 2008 “Crash”, a song Richard Kingsmill has referred to as “timeless”, received rotation on Triple J.
