Brisbane punk outfit Columbus are one of the latest additions to the prestigious UNFD roster and they’ve now announced a March tour to celebrate the signing and the release of their brand new single, ‘Replace Me’.
The track was premiered last night on triple j’s Home & Hosed and serves as the first taste from the band’s eagerly anticipated debut album, due out later this year via their new home at UNFD.
“Columbus are a band everyone at UNFD is falling in love with right now,” says UNFD’s Luke Logemann. “They write amazing songs and make them sound even better live. ‘Replace Me’ is already one of the best Australian Summer jams of 15/16!”
“We’re so excited to announce that we’ll be signing to UNFD and working with them on our debut album,” adds vocalist/guitarist Alex Moses. “It’s so great to be able to work with an Australian label so close to home with a team that so enthusiastically wants to support us and our music.”
The band had its start as a childhood friendship between Moses and Daniel Seymour, who met bass player Ben Paynter in their high school jazz band, before switching jazz for three-chord punk, inspired by the likes of Title Fight and Blink-182.
Years later, the band got 2016 off to a great start by thrilling crowds as part of the Unify Gathering lineup and they’re currently gearing up to record their debut full-length, which you can expect to drop later this year.
