Steröid (au), support: Manta

In the organizer's words:

nwobhm | punk | rock | egg | garage punk

Clad in chainmail, hard-boiled and half-fried, Steröid hit like an atom bomb with more swing than a pub brawl. Their riffs don't just rip-they blister, then cauterize, then keep rocking while you bleed.

Steröid blasted out of the Sydney punk scene alongside Gee Tee, R.M.F.C., and Tee Vee Repairmann, but they brought their own recipe: a filthy, chrome-plated fusion of egg punk fury and NWOBHM swagger. Throw in a dollop of AOR melody if you like-this breakfast is messy, and they don't care if you finish it.

Support: Manta from Hamburg.

Steröid

Behind the noise is rock and roll savant Lord Gordith (yes, the same twisted brain behind Gloomy Reflections and Quest Master), proving once again he might be the most vital and unpredictable force in heavy underground music today. This is a record about rocking. And never stopping. And then rocking some more. You can rock with friends at a gig. Sometimes you rock alone. That's okay. Just give it your best. And never-ever-miss your chance to rock

Manta

Manta is a three-piece heavy metal band from Hamburg. Founded at the end of 2023 as a loose project, then started as a full band in 2024. In 2026 Manta released their first demo "Heavy Roller". Snotty, loud and outrageous, the band is based on the early sound of NWOBHM and punk from the late 1970s.
