Variety Is The Spice Of Musical Life With BLINX & SHINBONE From HISS

Interview by Kris Peters
Busting out of the musical walls of Brisbane in late 2022, five
childhood friends united to create an infectious cocktail of
catchy, heavy riffs, hard-hitting lyrics and purposeful melodies.
Familiar, yet unique, the HISS sound is as diverse as the
appearance and influences of the individual band members
themselves. Their frenetic hook-laden energy - think Alice In
Chains meets Helmet with a dash of Sex Pistols and Slayer combined
- will guarantee crossover appeal throughout the rock and metal
community.
The grungy garage-metal punks recently dropped the first track,
Trace, from their upcoming debut album Enoz Latem and are preparing
to launch it this Saturday, March 29 at Greaser Bar in Brisbane
alongside Tawny Hawk and Dedway.
Trace also features on a 7” vinyl release in hot pink (limited to
150 copies) that the band has pressed via their own imprint LFT
Records to coincide with the album launch and other promotional
activities.
HEAVY caught up with Blinx Bonaccorso (vocals) and Shinbone Starr
(guitar) to find out more.
"It's been great so far," Starr enthused when asked about the early
reception for Trace. "That one goes over well live, and it seems to
be a good crossover track. It's got a great, heavy groove
underpinning it and also some good melodies in there. Playing that
one live is normally where we see a lot of people come from the
outside of the room, gravitating, like 'what's going on
here'."
In the full interview, the discussion focused on the technical
setup and promotional plans for Hiss's debut album, Enoz Latem and
their first single, Trace. The band expressed excitement about
their music's crossover appeal and their collaborative creative
process, emphasizing their blend of grunge and punk
influences.
We also discussed plans for the album launch at Greaser Bar this
Saturday (March 29), including exclusive merchandise, free entry,
and a themed cocktail plus more.
