PIT

Last updated: 3 days ago

PIT are a hard rock / grunge three-piece from Newcastle, Australia, consisting of Hamish Sanders (bass), Korby Essex (drums), and Bailey Parker (guitar/vocals).

The teen trio have quickly built a reputation as one of Newcastle’s most talked about bands, carving out a distinct sound while maintaining a relentless gigging schedule. National outlets have already labeled them as leaders in a new wave of grunge.

Formed just a few years ago, PIT have honed their sound through constant gigging, including their first tour in 2024 at just 16 years of age. Known for blending hard rock, alternative metal and grunge influences, PIT have developed a sound that balances heavy riffs with memorable songwriting.

Recently signing with MGM and working closely with Sebastian Chase and manager Ian Sandercoe, the band are entering a huge 12 months ahead. The momentum began with the release of their lead single Needed You on October 24, followed by second single Gone.

Their debut EP Repeat landed on April 15, backed by a national run of sold-out shows in Newcastle, Sydney and Melbourne supporting US alternative metal outfit HELMET on their Australian tour. A major milestone for the band and a testament to their fast growing reputation within the heavy music scene.

The rest of the year promises a flood of new music, videos and touring as the band continue to build on that momentum.
