Rocking out extra hard
Biography:
Get ready Australia. Miramar has hit the independent Australian music scene running. Daryn St Pierre of the new review recently writes “there is no doubt that Miramar is a force to be reckoned with”. Miramar stands out above other independant bands in the rock genre, with the euphoric beats, melodys and a sound unlike any other. Described as “alternative and progressive, with hardcore characteristics” , Miramar are carving out their own genre of music. Five good friends, (four of wich went to the same high school) from Australia's Central Coast of New South Wales, playing the music that they love.



For the last year part of 2009 and to date in 2010 Miramar have been promoting themselves through avenues such as the internet (facebook and myspace), review sites, publications and more importantly through their live shows. Since the release of Miramar’s debut album “Fight Lights up the Skies” in January,2010, and the digital release on iTunes, Miramar have been in demand by venues, the public and musical events throughout Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra and Newcastle. Miramar were recently well recieved by the students of Maquarie university, at there end of semister festival, "Conception Day". Miramar have also played at some other recognised venues, Annondale Hotel, Excelsior Hotel, Crown Plazza Terrigal, Bald faced Stag, The Woodport Inn and Spectrum. Miramar are currently writing and recording an EP with some new tracks. Miramar is also currently working on their first film clip to “We are the Future”.



Although forming in 2008, four of the band members went through school together and have been close friends for many years. These four friends, Traygo Stewart, Ryan Wilson, John Matzen and Mitchell Anderson, started the band after finishing school., The boys played together for six months before a chance meeting with vocalist Craig Paterson who later colaberated with the guys to create this unique, powerful sound. With a front man now in the band, the music and sound of the songs started to take shape and a clear and shared message started to show within the band, this message is best shown through Craig’s lyrics and his emotions on stage, “look at us now, we are the way, we are the future”. In their short time on the music scene Miramar have reached and held the number one spot on triple j unearthed for two weeks with their hit “So far gone”, as well as a recent number four and five spots with the tracks “self destruction” and “we are the future”. Miramar has shared the stage with some more well known bands such as Grinspoon, Dead letter Circus, Butterfingers, Mammal, The Lazys and Art vs Science and have always performed to a captivated audience.



The band has come a long way in their short career and are ready to go a lot further. Miramar is one of the hardest working unsigned bands. They are forcing their way through the Australian music industry with their own sound and a thick fan base. Miramar delivers a relentless and energetic live show with strong messages poured into the lyrics by frontman Craig Paterson. People remember Miramar, for their amazing live shows, unique image and songs that pull on heart strings. Miramar will play a big role in the future of Australian music and particually in the rock, alternate genre. I urge you to see a live performance for yourself, Miramars rise is bound to surge in the coming months of 2010.
