Tailor Made Rejects are an Alt Rock band storming from Australia. The group consists of long-time musical nomads Ryan Valley and Jester Batt, alongside hometown heroes Zakory ‘The Zigg’ Cutmore and Val Morrigan. Together, they have joined forces to craft their intense sound landscape based on raw guitars and catchy ear-worm melodies. Their new single […]

When two genre-defining acts collide, you don’t just get a tour—you get an event. In 2026, Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls and Bowling For Soup are joining forces for the Bowling My Bones Australian tour, a co-headline run that promises equal parts heart, humour, and high-energy chaos.

From intimate, fist-in-the-air singalongs to full-blown pop punk party anthems, both bands have built their reputations on connection—turning every stage into something closer to a shared experience than a performance. Now, with a run of dates stretching across the country and a grand finale locked in for Fremantle, Australian fans are set to witness a pairing that feels as natural as it does long overdue.

We caught up with Frank to talk about the tour, the pressures of life on the road, the ever-evolving process of song writing, and his ongoing support for grassroots music and independent venues through his Lost Evenings Festival series.

Dave Matrise (vocals, guitars) comments:

“Let’s start off by saying what an amazing accomplishment it is to hit 12 releases in my career. Never would I think I’d still be doing this 30+ years later. I guess be careful what you wish for. I’m very grateful to all of our fans that have supported us for so many years and for never giving up on us. To my bandmates for all of their hard work and dedication to me and JRot over all these years.

“‘Cruel Face Of War’ will not disappoint. It’s full of crushing grooves and violent hooks that will surely break anyone’s neck.”

Newslang’s Secrets of Water is a super dynamic alt-rock offering that balances intensity with melodic finesse. The track moves with purpose, shifting between restrained, atmospheric moments and powerful, full-bodied bursts of energy. Guitars cut through with clarity, while the rhythm section drives everything forward with a sense of urgency. The vocals add emotional depth, tying the transitions together seamlessly.

Secrets of Water stands out for its fluidity and impact—an engaging, well-crafted alt-rock piece that keeps evolving from start to finish.
