Following their impressive debut supporting Windwaker on the Love In The Dark Tour, Caskets returns with a vengeance, ready to leave their mark on Australian soil.

Vocalist Matt Flood expressed his excitement, stating, “Coming to Australia to play our own headline shows is more than a dream come true!” says vocalist Matt Flood.”It’s something every musician dreams of but never really expects it to become a reality. We’re very proud and very lucky to have this opportunity to come back to Australia and rip up some shows with some insanely talented bands; but first, I must hug a koala!”

With their latest album, “Reflections,” produced by Dan Weller, Caskets delves deep into themes of vulnerability and self-reflection, offering listeners a raw and emotive musical experience. Each track serves as a poignant reminder of pivotal moments in the band members’ lives, showcasing their growth and evolution as artists.

Joining Caskets on this momentous tour is Seattle’s The Home Team, bringing their unique blend of heavy-pop rock to Australian audiences for the very first time. Renowned for their innovative sound that fuses elements of R&B, pop, and funk, The Home Team has garnered a dedicated following and shared stages with esteemed acts like Don Broco, Senses Fail, and Real Friends.

As The Home Team continues to push the boundaries of alternative music with their immersive albums “Better Off” and “Slow Bloom,” fans can expect an unforgettable performance that defies genre conventions and leaves a lasting impression.
