Fear Like Us are a shining example of a Newcastle band: They're raw and passionate, the music is direct from the heart and they all now live in Melbourne. Although a band technically now for going on 12 years, it's taken the band a fair bit of their sweet-arse time to push beyond semi-activity. Before a ripper headlining show at Black Wire Records with friends of the show Run Squirrel, Canine and previous guests Burlap, we spoke with founding member Kim Wall and long-serving bassist Babor "Babs" Kaemmerling - each battling a classic Newie hangover - about where they come from, their driving forces and what it means to be an up-and-coming touring band in your 30s.

Succour is out now via Poison City Records.

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.
