<p><strong>Padre</strong> is an Australian musical project birthed in the basement of a Northern Gold Coast house, nestled in the bush. Their soon to be released debut album, Brown Town, deals with the effects of domestic violence on a family in small-town Australia.</p> <p></p> <p><blockquote>Fact: "In 2017, 137 women across the globe were killed every day by intimate partners or relatives</blockquote></p> <p><blockquote>(Washington Post, 26 November 2018)"</blockquote></p> <p></p> <p>Inspired by Australia's rich story telling musical history, the album draws comparisons between the beautiful, slack new sounds of Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever and Courtney Barnett, to aged greats like Australian Crawl and Paul Kelly. This spread of flavours, like vegemite for your ears, attempts to deliver a hard hitting insight into what it's like to live around violence in the place that you're meant to feel most safe.</p> <p>Your castle. Your home.</p>
