Straitjacket Fashion
Genre:Rock
joined forces in August, 2007. After being together for only three weeks, they played at a ‘Pimps & Hoes’ party with an impressive 15 original songs developed in an impossibly small time frame, and subsequently ripped the roof off! They released their debut EP ‘Corridors’ in December, 2007. Since then they have played at multiple venues around Adelaide, and have built a name for themselves and a fanbase. Their natural musical ability, raw intensity, and ‘Aussie larrikin’ humour ensures an entertaining show every time. They combine melodic vocals and unique chord progressions while staying true to thier hard rock passion. Straitjacket Fashion have many influences, however they mimic none. They have very different compositions and style compared to other bands in the same genre. Many critics have told them they will go a long way in the music industry.
SIME.. has written a truckload of songs and recorded, mixed, and mastered two solo albums independently, as well has played in various bands and acoustic duos (Throb, Plan B, Catch22, Scene of the Crime…). He plays multiple musical instruments and has hundreds of influences, and musical tastes. He is the primary songwriter of the band. His energy and humorous antics combined with a unique vocal tone and skillful guitar licks make him an entertaining front man for the band. 
RY.. has long been an acoustic guitarist with exceptional musical ability, but awakening to an epiphany one morning, he suddenly realised his destined musical purpose; BASS GUITAR! Ryan’s bass riff creations have received infinite praise from well established musicians. His backing vocals compliment Simon’s lead vocals perfectly as they have been playing and writing music together from a young age. 
TOMSY.. first picked up a set of drumsticks in the midst of his youth to fill in for a band. The universe was at once harmonious as natures intended plan was finally fulfilled! He commenced a songwriting journey and has perfected the craft. He has been involved in many successful original bands (Ebony Web, Fortress, Nightshade) and cover bands (Eleven, The Rock Dogs), with whom has released several independent EP’s. He is a talented singer with a huge voice, and has been the drummer/lead singer in most of the bands he has participated in. His drumming technique is not short of brilliant. He also performs lead vocals on his own compositions in Straitjacket Fashion’s repertoire.
