  • About The Giveaways

  • Already recognized as a popular band, they participated in the Adelaide Fuse festival in 2007 and 2008. In 2008 out of 100 odd bands The Giveaways were chosen along with nine other bands, to collaborate with up and coming film makers in creating their own music video for the fringe event known as 10 x 10. Not a bubblegum pop group or a heavy metal band. All members are still in High school, however when they rock the stage this is hard to tell. The Giveaways have a unique fusion of rock and indie. They are not part of a trend or fashion; they want you to listen to their music. With great songs and a unique sound, this is easy for the listener to do. Not yet mature enough to have songs that preach or with any hidden political statements. Their original songs are fresh and catchy, with musical and song writing influences based on past and present bands. The drummer Josh with his established strokes and timing is the engine of the band with his pulsating beats and drumming. James a confident singer with mature vocals, he can rock his guitar and lead on stage. Chris with his finesse guitar skills and solos conducts the rhythm and intensifies the sound. Then Harrison the base guitar player, who with his developed skill professionally adds the underlying tone and beat to their songs. The combination of all their talent and passion is definitely the recipe for The Giveaways to keep traveling on the narrow steep road to rock success.
