Longevity. Not a word that is aligned with many bands these days, but one that can certainly be applied to Aussie punk legends Bodyjar.

For nearly 20 years the band have built their local and international following with relentless touring, demonstrating the blistering high energy live shows that have made Bodyjar one of the most respected punk bands in the world. The band now boasts hordes of committed fans in Australia, Japan, America, Korea and Europe.

Highly respected by their peers, the band can count amongst its fans members of Foo Fighters, Yellowcard, Good Charlotte and Blink 182; who invited Bodyjar to join them on their American Enema of the State tour. This coincided with the band being signed to Nitro records, owned by The Offsprings Dexter Holland.

You wont last long in the fickle music industry without killer songs & the ‘Jar have delivered these consistently throughout their career. From the sonic assault of 1998's “No Touch Red” through to 2000's gold selling “How It Works", as well as 2002's “Plastic Skies”, Bodyjar have released a string of classics including top 20 singles “Not The Same”, "One In A Million" and "Too Drunk To Drive".

The band entered a Hiatus in 2006 to find a normal life away from constant touring and recording, but could never shake the endless show offers and emails asking them to play and record. Giving in to the demand they are back with the announcement of a new album and national tour!

With a renewed energy and flurry of incredible songs, the band have rediscovered their love of music, and are back with a brand new album. “Role Model” illustrates that love, allowing them to deliver what could be their most cohesive set of songs yet. The new album Role Model out on October 18 will leave no doubt in fan’s minds that Bodyjar still have it after all these years. Fast paced and full of melody and energy, the album showcases the rare talents of a band that has been around for 19 years.

The Band will embark on a national tour in October/November to do what they do best and blast out the new and old songs that have made them into one of Australia’s most revered bands.
