About Fear Like Us

Spawning from the cesspools of Newcastle, Fear Like Us was originally formed as a two-piece back in 04. They recorded a demo back then, and soon Jamie Hay and Kim Wall were joined by Babs on bass. A demo came out in 05, a split with another Newcastle band Scarlet Fever. With both demos unavailable now, it's hard to get your hands on some of these old recordings. Towards the end of 2006, Joel joined the band on drums, which added a more fuller sound for an ever-increasing in popularity band. They've shared the stage with some amazing bands. More recently, Against Me!, The Draft, A Death in the Family, Like... Alaska, Frankie Stubbs of Leatherface fame, Scarlet Fever, The Overcast, Mutiny, and The Focus. Both Jamie and Kim now live in Melbourne so rarely make their way back to Newcastle. Their self titled full length release is soon to be launched at the Poison City Records showcase.
