Ablaze was originally formed back in 2010 by a group of mates, fresh out of high school and wanting to belt out some riff-driven Aussie pub rock’n’roll. After jamming on covers for a couple of weeks, the young blokes quickly became bored of playing other people’s songs, and the desire to write originals grew quickly. Once they started, they didn’t stop, quickly pumping out a set’s worth of material, scrubbing up their favourite old AC/DC and Screaming Jets covers and began cutting their teeth at any Open Mic night and Battle of the Bands that would take them.Soon after, Ablaze began gigging hard around town, playing any and every stage they could. From Friday night pub gigs to local festivals, opening at dive bars to headlining the Espy Gershwin room, Ablaze did it all and more to hone their on-stage skills. They kept their writing muscles flexed too, pumping out song after song as they went.After a couple of line-up changes, Ablaze record their first single, ‘The Hard Way’, late in 2014 and both the track and accompanying film clip catapulted them onto the radar of the Australian music scene. Armed with a killer live show brimming with energy and a good soaking of beer and Jägermeister, Ablaze spent 2015 gigging hard around Melbourne, and by the end of the year they were back in the studio recording an EP. The ‘No Turning Back’ EP, set for release April 1st 2016, will see the boys embark on a national tour, tearing up stages up and down the east coast, and with lessons learned, livers prepared and that same riff-driven, big-balled hard rock sound, Ablaze is going to make 2016 their own, and blast through anything standing in their way.‘No Turning Back’ is the face-mashing, ear-smashing debut EP from the Aussie hard rock band Ablaze. It's a chaotic rock’n’roll story full of partying, debauchery and booze. A 6-track classic rock assault, with powerful riffs, attitude-laden lyrics and choruses to shout along to, all with that pint in your hand. 'No Turning Back' is a statement that goes out as a big middle finger in the air to all those who say rock is dead!
