Violent Soho: Finding a Way Out of This Thing
It’s been an emotional ride for Australia’s Violent Soho. The troupe—Luke Boerdam, James Tidswell, Luke Henery and Michael Richards out of Brisbane, Queensland—has gone from trying to grab the attention of America in 2010 to moving back in with mom and dad and applying to McDonald’s to recording a gold-selling album and landing as a premiere Australian pop punk band. They released their fourth album, Waco, in March, and are set to promote it in America this fall in cities like Toronto, Denver and Salt Lake City on Sept. 2. They’ll be taking another chance here since their last American endeavor six years ago, but this time, with a larger catalog, they seem more confident—they know what it’s like being in a band that’s seen the absolute worst situation and, also, the absolute best.
