In 2005, Karnivool became an overnight success story in Australian heavy music - and all it took was nearly a decade of pushing the band to get there. Nearly 15 years on, the Perth five-piece have lost none of their drive or motivation - even if we don't hear new music for years at a time. There's a method to the madness, and the band's approach to progressive alt-metal has kept them in consistent demand as a live band both nationally and internationally. In-between all of that, there's been other bands, burnout, creative sparks and hitting sheep with their van - and none of it got left out when vocalist Ian Kenny and bassist Jon Stockman gave the Vool the treatment before a show in Wollongong back in June.Bar Bands

Across over ten years of going to shows, I've met countless fascinating people that are joined together by the fact I love their music. This is a medium in which I look to find out the bigger picture, the extended story and the journey that brought them to where they are. No genre or topic is off limits. I'm David James Young - and all my friends are in bar bands.
