Warner Music Australia is ecstatic to announce that the band’s third album, ‘Breed Obsession’, featuring the Top 30 single, ‘Snakeskin’ and their current single, ‘1981’ debuted on the Motorola ARIA Album Chart today at #1! It’s the highest debut in the band’s history (previous release Are You Involved? debuted at #20).
Called “Epic” by Triple J, and “Stunning’” by MySpace, ‘Breed Obsession’ was Triple J’s Album of the Week and JB Hi-Fi has an exclusive package of the album featuring a bonus DVD. The DVD includes a Making of 'Breed Obsession' component where you will see the songs being re-worked in Pre Production as well as extensive interviews with all the band members. The Snakeskin and 1981 videos are included as well as unseen behind the scenes footage of the band making the 1981 video.
First single ‘Snakeskin’ is currently featured in all Network 10 promotions for the AFL season and reached an impressive #16 on Triple J’s Hottest 100 – and it’s already won 2 WAMI Awards for Best Single and Best Video.
Following on from their sold out ‘Pre-Obsession’ tour, Gyroscope are set to embark on their national ‘Breed Obsession’ album tour throughout May 2008.
Gyroscope has been itching to finally showcase the album live on the Breed Obsession Tour. With them they bring Young and Restless (originally from Canberra), who have made a mammoth splash recently – taking out Triple J’s inaugural ‘Unearthed’ J Award and the Qantas Spirit of Youth Award. They’ve been winning critics and fans alike with their fusion of hardcore guitar riffs, catchy pop melodies and powerful rock vocals. Also in support are Perth’s Sugar Army who, with the lengthily named And Now You’re Old Enough, I Think That You Should Know, are enjoying high rotation on Triple J and are sure to please Gyroscope fans new and old.
“this band really does have the chops to rank alongside Silverchair as one of the best rock bands in the country”
