Masochist Join the Up Next Line-Up

Masochist is a hardcore punk band with a socially conscious message of empowerment and inclusivity.

Lyrically tackling things such as sexual assault, mental illness and misogyny in the music scene, the band brings a raw look at things they believe aren’t talked about enough; due to the negative stigma people have attached to these tough topics.

In 2018 they released their second EP “Blinded”, put out through Life.Lair.Regret Records (Melbourne) who described it as “feminist punk fury”, and they are currently working on their first full length album to be released 2021.

In terms of live shows, the band has aimed to play diverse and inclusive line ups, and have also supported prominent names in the Australian punk/hardcore scene, as well as international acts. Masochist has joined line ups with Comeback Kid (CAN), RVIVR (USA), Clowns, Pagan, Mindsnare, Trail of Lies (USA), Dispossessed, Outright, Hexis (DEN), Totally Unicorn, King Parrot and Shackles (just to name a few) as well as playing the Byron Bay leg of the 2018/19 Falls Festival.
