Brisbane hard rock outfit PistonFist are capping off a stellar 2024 with the release of the first single in a new album cycle, Repent.
After a year that has seen the Brisbane hard rocking outfit complete their first international tour as well as sign with rising Australian label XMusic, PistonFist invites you to Repent all of your sins and join them on the next leg of their musical journey, which starts now.
HEAVY caught up with frontman Geoff O'Leary to find out more.
We discussed their new track, Repent, with Geoff explaining the heavier direction of the new music as opposed to their debut album, Redline, which was well-received in Europe. He expressed excitement for the next album cycle, sharing his transition from being a full-time rhythm guitarist to focusing on vocals during studio sessions, highlighting the benefits of having a dedicated rhythm guitarist.
We spoke about PistonFist's recent international tour through the UK and Europe with SinSoto and Kaosis. Geoff expressed his amazement at the professionalism and organization of the European live shows, contrasting it with the situation in Australia. He shared that the tour was financially challenging but well worth it, and he is eager to return. Geoff also shared a memorable story about a particularly well-received show at a venue in Norway, where they were exceptionally well looked after. He expressed his desire to return to this venue if their music reaches a certain level of success.
We discussed their recent partnership with XMusic, an Australian label, and their upcoming shows. Talk turned to their upcoming shows, including the DimeBag Memorial show and the Munk and Petal festival, plus more.
