Episode 56: My Friends Fear Like Us

Fear Like Us are a shining example of a Newcastle band: They're raw and passionate, the music is direct from the heart and they all now live in Melbourne. Although a band technically now for going on 12 years, it's taken the band a fair bit of their sweet-arse time to push beyond semi-activity. Before a ripper headlining show at Black Wire Records with friends of the show Run Squirrel, Canine and previous guests Burlap, we spoke with founding member Kim Wall and long-serving bassist Babor "Babs" Kaemmerling - each battling a classic Newie hangover - about where they come from, their driving forces and what it means to be an up-and-coming touring band in your 30s.Succour is out now via Poison City Records.Digital: https://poisoncityrecords.bandcamp.com/album/succourPhysical: http://poisoncityestore.com/collections/frontpage/products/fear-like-us-succour-lpSupport for All My Friends Are in Bar Bands comes from Spit the Dummy Records.
