Edit history

Post hardcore prog-punks Release the Bees hail from Brisbane Australia, gathered together by long standing musical friendships and strengthened by late night all acoustic rambling singalongs. Since their inception in 2009, singer Brett Maxwell, drummer TJ Divers, bassist James Harris and guitarist Jordan Quigg have carved a niche all for themselves. Sitting somewhere between the melodic and earnest emotional punk of Hot Water Music & Alkaline Trio, the yearning heartfelt epic scope of Sunny Day Real Estate, the darker, bass heavy rumblings of Glassjaw and the genre ignoring musical gymnastics of Fugazi, Release the Bees combine intensely personal lyrics with powerful, driving rhythmns and a fiercely independent approach to writing,recording and performing.
