Melbourne-based hardcore crew Priorities are today setting out to make their first mark on the Australian heavy music scene, with the announcement of the release of their debut single, “If I Believed”. The hard-out track is out today, Friday, August 7, into all good digital stores and streaming platforms – and is available at https://ditto.fm/if-i-believed.

Priorities is a hardcore/punk band made up of 5 members from the South-East of Victoria, Australia with a multitude of influences. The band created their unique and aggressive sound by blending 2000’s-era hardcore sounds with elements of a more contemporary djent, prog and metalcore sound.

‘If I Believed’ is the band’s debut release – and the song, according to vocalist Mitch Sigge, comes from a very personal place – and this was the perfect outlet for it. The song “…is about the feeling of helplessness I had in myself during a dark time in my life. It was my expression of what it’s like when your world crashes around you – and not knowing where to go from there.“
