SANCTUARY

When the five members of This Sanctuary came together through mutual friends in late 2010, they instantly recognized they were creating something solid built on their very strong musical interests. The birth of This Sanctuary was also the birth of a tight friendship and sharing of the same musical pursuits. Before the band had even released a track, This Sanctuary toured Malaysia – their show in Ipoh was to a a sold out crowd of around 3000 people. August 2011 saw the release of This Sanctuary’s debut EP ‘Maybe We Weren’t Meant To Get It’ - this was backed up by a performance at 2011’s Big Exo Day in Sydney. Come 2012, This Sanctuary are taking hometown of Sydney by storm, landing a supporting slot with American hardcore act, The Chariot. Sydney isn’t where the bands hype starts and finishes, This Sanctuary’s current single ‘Rumour’ struck the attention of Johnny Franck (former Attack Attack!). Franck remixed the single and it is available for fans to listen to on This Sanctuary’s YouTube account (nearing 26, 000 plays). Next stop for This Sanctuary is Singapore, where they will be performing at 2012’s Music Matters Conference in May alongside Kate Miller-Heidke and other big names.
