🎤 Darkside Music Presents: FRESH BLOOD – Sydney Edition Presented in collaboration with Yours & Owls + B.A.D Management 📍 The Lansdowne Hotel – Saturday 15 November 2025 💔 + EMO NIGHT Afterparty powered by Last Words Fresh talent. Fresh sounds. Fresh Blood. FRESH BLOOD is a new quarterly event series celebrating the best in upcoming metal, alternative, and pop punk — platforming both emerging and established artists while providing a creative space for the wider scene. Each edition takes on a new format and city, keeping things fresh and ever-evolving. This first run spotlights a powerful lineup of all-upcoming artists: 🔥 TOTALBUZZKILL (Headline) — First Nations-fronted metalcore from the Northern Rivers/Lismore region, blending crushing heaviness with raw emotional intensity. Already a band to watch, their live show is a storm of chaos and catharsis. ⚡ DOWN AND OUT (Main Support) — Adelaide’s rising pop punk powerhouse, fresh off the release of new track Guilty As Hell and notable collabs with Kellin Quinn (Sleeping With Sirens) and Emmy Mack (RedHook). 🌑 BRIDGE LEFT TO BURN (Local Opener) — Female-fronted Sydney metalcore bringing raw emotion and ferocity to set the night ablaze. But Fresh Blood is more than music. Sponsored by alternative clothing brands Journeys Apparel & True North Collective, and appearances by local tattoo artists adding to the culture. And when the lights go down... The night continues with the EMO NIGHT Afterparty — a throwback hosted by Last Words, spinning anthems from MCR, Paramore, Pierce The Veil & more until late!
