Byron Bay metal-corers In Hearts Wake are a band full of surprises – and we’re not just talking the special record they recently dropped, the legends are also hosting a charity auction with incredible music music memorabilia.
The quintet will host an online eBay auction featuring unique and collectible items kindly donated from some of the biggest names in music worldwide including Vance Joy, The Amity Affliction, Architects, Northlane, Enter Shikari, Dead Letter Circus, Stick To Your Guns, Hacktivist, UNIFY Gathering and of course, In Hearts Wake themselves.
All proceeds will go towards two non-profit organisations, the first being Local Futures which is dedicated to a grassroots safeguarding and renewal of ecological and social well-being within communities. The second being the Byron Young Residents Alliance, which ensures the protection of the band’s hometown on an environmental and social level.

If you want a piece of the action, the auction begins on Friday 17 April at 12pm EST and can be accessed by visiting the Skydancer Project website.
In Hearts Wake have long been involved with organisations that support their global vision. In partnership with Carbon Neutral, In Hearts Wake planted 1379 trees as part of the Earthwalker campaign in 2014.
Vocalist Jake Taylor says of the partnership with Local Futures, “The organisation is devoted to healing the Earth and ourselves through localisation and sustainable economics. It aims to raise awareness for the bigger picture by renewing natural resources and reducing CO2 emissions. It also creates human and ecological well-being, builds sustainable communities and allows social healing as it celebrates diversity and reclaims joy, health and spirit. Essentially it aims to give us control over our future.”

He then commented on the band’s partnership with Byron Young Residents Alliance, “Proving that localisation is ever so important, we wish to also stand behind our own community. BYRA is a community organisation founded and run by young residents within the Byron Shire. Byron Bay is currently under threat from the impact of mass development and BYRA is a vessel for those who wish to keep Byron sustainable and preserve its pre-existing culture. #ProtectByron.”
In Hearts Wake are gearing-up for a national tour in support of their brand-spankin’ new record, Skydancer.
