Californian melodic hardcore outfit Being As An Ocean will make their long-awaited return to Australian shores this August to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their debut album, Dear G-d…, and they’ll be joined by Stepson and Bloom.
The band has this to say about their upcoming run:
“We are elated to announce that we will be heading back out onto the road in August 2022 to celebrate Dear G-d… ‘s 10 year anniversary.”
“We will be playing the greater part of Dear G-d…, including songs we have yet to perform live and a mix of fan favorites spanning the band’s career,” they continue. “We know these performances will be something special and can’t wait to see you all again. Here’s to 10 years and the future ahead.”
Releasing in 2012, Dear G-d... is Being As An Ocean’s first album and is a visceral and memorable album for many, delving into a sonic landscape littered with stories of strength from weakness and the beauty in tragedy.
Voracious devourers of music new and old, Being As An Ocean taps into a deeper well of inspiration. Those weaned on genre-giants like Underoath and mewithoutyou readily identify with what BAAO is all about. Fans of like-minded artisans La Dispute, Touché Amore, and Defeater also support the cause. As they evolve, Being As An Ocean looks further outside, to iconic greats like The Beatles and Queen, if not so much in sound then in spirit and celebratory vision.
Join Being As An Ocean in celebrating their 10-year debut album milestone in intimate venues across the country. Tickets are on sale Thursday, April 7 at 5 pm local time via Destroy All Lines.
