Hard Rock fans around Australia – your prayers have been answered. Perth-Based-but-Melbourne-Regulars, Hailmary, are announcing their brand new EP, Navigate the Sunrise – due for release on May 16, a National Tour and a Pozible campaign to help them get all the way around the country!
The band have been bunkered down in the studio for the early months of 2014 and it has resulted in a stellar 5-track EP that smashes into high gear from Track 1, ‘Liar in My Chair’, with only one stop for breath with slower-paced track ‘Waiting for My Time’ in the middle of the record. Other than that, it’s breakneck speed.
The Navigate the Sunrise EP was recorded at Vasectomy Studio in Perth, engineered by Hailmary drummer Vassya Shevstov with co‐production by Shevstov, Hailmary singer/songwriter Kevin Curran and Producer Jeff Tomei (Jerry Cantrell, Smashing Pumpkins, Skid Row) out of his Cock of The Walk Studio in Atlanta, USA and mastering by Glenn Schick at GSM in Seattle, USA.

That’s not all. To Celebrate, Hailmary are heading out on the road immediately to take the new tracks to their fans. Spread out over May and June, they are taking their show all over the country – WA, SA, NSW, QLD, VIC and TAS are all covered and are hitting some festivals as well as their favourite venues while they are at it. Melbourne’s Mick Quee from legendary Australian rockers Dead City Ruins will take up bass duties for the Tour.
To help them get all the way around the country, the band are also launching their Pozible campaign! They will be heading around the country throughout May and June, but in order for the band to zigzag around the country from Perth and back to the East coast a number of times throughout the course of the tour, they need a little help from the people who love them – their fans. A stack of fantastic rewards are on offer for pledging some funds their way and it will make sure that Hailmary get all the way through the tour and back again with some food in their belly and a pillow under their heads at night. The Campaign is live at http://www.pozible.com/project/180235.
