Description
Irrelevant exploded onto the Australian underground music scene with their inception in 1999. With their unique blend of heart wrenching melody and sonic intensity, they quickly captured the attention of audiences countrywide, making a name for themselves as Sydney's hardest working band.
The release of their 2001 'Reflecting and Refracting' ep only served to bolster their titles as the 'kings of their craft' and crowds flocked to their high energy, high emotion, blistering live performances. National tours and supports followed seeing them play with the likes of Grade, No Use For A Name, Strung Out, Hot Water Music, Livid Festival (2002), Poison The Well, Thursday and later this month with Rise Against. With nowhere to go but up, they enlisted the services of producer Phil McKellar (Silverchair, Grinspoon) and prepared to take their next step up the evolutionary ladder.
Ascension, the end result speaks for itself. It acts as both a testament to the ideologies of the band and a hallmark for Australian independent music. Twelve tracks of pure, unadulterated aural bliss. Switching from transcendental melody to shear brutality in a matter of seconds, it creates nothing less than a rollercoaster ride into the beautiful chaos that is Irrelevant.
Their debut album, a new foray into unchartered creative territory, shows the band building an all-new identity off their self-reflective approach to their craft. Taking yet another step away from pigeonholed sounds and looking to expand beyond their conquered backyard, they have now set the stage to blow international listeners away. With all the right tools behind
them; it's only a matter of time before Irrelevant begins their international charge.
