After receiving some mysterious emails from our friends at Soundwave Festival down at Tone Deaf HQ over the last week, we can now reveal that one of the most popular music events in Australia appears to be getting set to launch a ‘sister event’ later this year. Barely had the announcement been made on Twitter before the band names started flying thick and fast.

Kicking off in September, it would appear that the festival, for which we still have scant details, is set to include This Providence, Michigan punkers The Swellers and Terrible Things ( an alternative super group made up of members from Taking Back Sunday, Hot Rod Circuit and Coheed and Cambria). We’ll keep you updated with more details as we get them.
