Blending the joyous arrogance of 70’s punk and the drama of early British metal with an evolved social conscience, The Dread Sky is an original alternative rock band based in Newcastle, Australia. The band comprises the following members:
Jeremy Hackett - Lead vocal and bass guitar
Neale Brain - Guitars and backing vocal
Trevor Anthoney - Drums
The Dread Sky has just finished recording their self-titled debut album at BJB Studios in Sydney, Australia. Co-produced by Gerling’s Burke Reid, mixed by SOYA mentor Scott Horscroft, mastered by Studios 301’s Steve Smart and with debaser artwork, this album is already generating rave reviews in early sneak previews. The album is available online now through www.cdbaby.com.
The Dread Sky receives ongoing airplay and support from community radio and can be found playing regularly around Sydney, Newcastle, the Central Coast and the Hunter Valley. Plans are in the works for a tour of Australian east-coast venues and for the band's first foray into California. With critics defining the band as sounding ‘strong and tight’ with ‘interesting, intelligent lyrical content’ and providing a ‘very polished and enjoyable experience’, The Dread Sky is a cohesive, fiercely dedicated and self-sufficient group working relentlessly to expand their reach as the demand for their music grows. With a large and committed support base, highly desireable product and a live act very well received by the discerning original rock crowd, The Dread Sky is at critical mass and set to explode.
