ZUKO

Formed in 2021, Brisbane based Zuko “are the five-piece you didn’t know you needed in your life” (Wall of Sound, 2022). The hardcore/metalcore group, made up of Jesse Hudson (vocals), Logan Gill (lead guitar), Ben Matthews (bass), David Thomson (rhythm guitar) and Jordan Bellchambers (drums), introduced themselves with single Roe Ct in 2021, and found fast success with the release of debut EP Hereditary in 2022, cementing their sound as one for fans of legends Knocked Loose, Alpha Wolf, Varials, and Kublai Khan. In 2023, the release of sophomore EP Venom // Absence saw their power swell; tearing up sold out stages, leaving their mark on their ever growing fanbase, and making their presence in South East Queensland hardcore undeniable. With more new releases planned for the back half of 2024, Zuko are set to become a dominant force in the globally-revered Australian hardcore scene
