Clowns

Clowns are an Australian hardcore punk outfit whose ferocious sound balances melody with thrashy sense of experimentalism. Based in Melbourne, they released a trio of records on the eccentric Poison City label in the mid-2010s, building up their international profile ahead of 2019's Nature/Nurture, their first for Fat Wreck Chords. It became Clowns' album to reach the Australian charts and earned them an ARIA Award nomination. A four year gap preceded their next release, 2023's Endless, which explored themes of immortality and bore a greater metal influence.
