Rain Factory

Rain Factory formed in the northern suburbs of Melbourne Australia in early 1990 and played their first formal gig at a local community ‘battle of the bands’. After winning that competition the band went on to release 2 albums and an 2 EPs during the 1990’s, receiving impressive press reviews prompting one reviewer to sum up the band’s soundscape as "a hybrid noise which could best be described as U2 meets Hunters & Collectors with Midnight Oil spunk”. In 1998 the band released the brooding, harsh glam-industrial sounding ‘At the End of The Day’ and shortly afterwards decided to take an indefinite break from the independent music scene.

In 2011, Rain Factory’s original members again reunited with a newfound vigour, creativity and passion for their music and commenced recording their 3rd album. The project was placed on hold as life took its toll until 2018 when the band resumed the recording.

In June 2019, after 6 years, Rain Factory finally released that album. Titled 'Stimulus Response' it once again highlights the band's epic soundscapes and propensity towards experimenting with different styles and arrangements. The band’s music is traditional rock with an alternative leaning that is resplendent with big guitar riffs and melodies. Structured fluently and crafted with patience, their songs are thematic and relevant examining the paradoxical nature of bittersweet love and life.
