The Decline

The Decline have just returned from a busy year touring all across the globe, celebrating their newly released album RESISTER across Europe, UK, USA, Mexico, Japan and Australia. RESISTER is available through Bird Attack Records (United States), Pee Records (Australia), Finetunes (Europe) and Bells On Records (Japan). Their recent tours have featured appearances at Resurrection Fest (Spain), Brakrock Ecofest (Belgium), Punk Rock Holiday (Slovenia), Tells Bells (Germany), the FEST (FL, USA) as well as acclaimed tours in different countries with Teenage Bottlerocket (USA), Millions of Dead Cops (USA), Useless ID (Israel), The Flatliners (CAN) and A Wilhelm Scream (USA)

The Decline’s most recent run of tours saw them playing shows in the UK and mainland Europe, touring across the UK with Manchester melodic hardcore band ‘Fair Do’s’ for 8 shows, before The Decline headed across to mainland Europe on a 19 date run combination of headline shows, festivals and shows in support of The Flatliners, CJ Ramone, A Wilhelm Scream and PEARS. When The Decline got back home they were straight back on the road, and headed out for a short Australian tour with Newcastle punks Local Resident Failure, followed by a 25 show run across the U.S.A with Brooklyn band MakeWar while they toured in support of their latest album release. This run of shows includes their second appearance at the prominent festival, “The FEST”, in Gainesville, Florida..

The Decline continued their momentum in late 2016/17 by releasing a split 7’ with Fat Wreck Chords band Bad Cop Bad Cop (with the single ‘Can’t Have Both’ getting 2 nominations for WAM Song of The Year in both the Punk and Heavy categories) and playing shows with Anti Flag, Scott Reynolds (ALL) and Bodyjar. June will see the guys head to Europe again as support for CJ Ramone and in October they will head to South America for the first time as part of the ‘We Are One’ tour alongside punk rock heavyweights Face to Face and Ignite as well as tours lined up in USA, Australia and Mexico to come later this year.

Since the release of their debut album "I'm Not Gonna Lie to You" in 2010, Australian Skate-Punk band, The Decline, have grown to be a recognisable name in the international punk community. The release of their sophomore album "Are You Going To Eat That" in 2011, scored the band a headlining tour of Europe, a Japanese tour with Useless ID and So-Cal 90's super band Implants, and a coveted mid-afternoon spot at Soundwave Festival in Perth. Soon after in early 2014, The Decline released the fully crowd-funded "Can I Borrow a Feeling" EP before jumping straight back into a heavy touring schedule.

In 2015, the Decline released their third album “RESISTER” and soon after, resumed heavy touring - since making their way across, Mexico, Japan, 3 times across Europe, UK and America, and numerous Australian tours. Throughout this busy time, the Decline have played a number of headline shows, festivals and supported many heavyweights in the punk scene.

Since their formation, some highlights of their time as a band include flying to Colorado in 2009 to record their debut album at the Blasting Room with Bill Stevenson (Descendents/Black Flag/ALL) and Jason Livermore, completing numerous Australian tours and hundreds of shows nationally, and three WAMi nomination for "Punk Act Of The Year” and three for “Punk Song Of The Year” as well as being lucky enough to share the stage with many of their favourite bands and play festivals around the globe.




The Decline have impressed many melodic punk fans worldwide with their fast-paced and energetic style, and catchy lyrical hooks.
