‘Test Of The Iron Mind’ LP out June 13th on Flatspot Records + Last Ride Records.

With aggressive riffs and a powerful delivery, on their latest single, Iron Mind are demanding that you show them ‘How You Get Down’. The Australian hardcore band’s high-energy bursts through heavy bounce, gang vocals, and motivating lyrics. The song is the third release from Iron Mind’s upcoming album, ‘Test Of The Iron Mind’, out June 13th on Flatspot Records and Last Ride Records, following ‘Test Of The Iron Mind’ and ‘Solitary Realm’. The video directed by Iron Mind and Jack Rudder:

Speaking on it, vocalist Sam Octigan shares:

“We’ve always been a band that champions scene involvement and contribution. That may have come in the form of a pit call, or a conversation at the merch table. Ultimately, hardcore is music for the youth and as we’re returning as somewhat elder statesmen with this record, we wanted to encapsulate that message in a song that was us speaking directly to the youth, the next generation. ‘Show me how you get down!’ – meaning, we don’t make the rules, we’re not hanging onto the old ways, we want to see the new breed. This is your scene, you create the culture, be empowered to do your thing. We want to be inspired by what you’re doing – so be empowered to do it!”

Iron Mind is Sam Octigan (vocals), Neil Bloem (guitar), Akira Asahina (guitar), Josh Barclay (drums), Dan Collins (bass).
