| Front Counter debut's in the UK with TV performance ahead of UK release!

Melbourne five-piece, Front Counter, will make their UK debut this week when the band perform their debut single 'Whats Your Name' on the hit show NEIGHBOURS which aires in the UK this week!
The single features on the band's EP ‘A Toast To You And Me’ which is out now in Australia and released this week in the UK.
“A faultless grasp of the McRebel melody and the power punch song structure – in and out under three minutes, and not a dull moment in between,” described Beat Magazine of the new EP.
"Front Counter have the knack for writing ridiculously catchy songs which after a few listens, stick in your head like leprosy”, describes Rave Magazine
Front Counter’s goal has been simple since day one, to make catchy, energetic rock songs.
Inspired by the thriving 90’s pop-punk scene, the melodic sounds of 60’s pop and the punch of modern day rock, and such a diverse string of personal influences ranging from Greenday to Korn, Front Counter have moulded a sound that they are truly proud of.
In 2007, Front Counter – the name deriving from a fast food fix, set the wheels in motion stepping in to the studio to record the band’s debut EP release titled ‘A Toast To You and Me’, with accredited music producer Richard Stolz (Behind Crimson Eyes, Bodyjar, After The Fall) behind the helm.
The EP features punchy, uplifting and diverse tracks that make you want to “get up out of your seats” and also features the debut single ‘Whats Your Name’ – the song written about an experience everyone faces at one time or another – with the track carrying all the builds and peaks that you want from a top forty song in this genre.
“[The song] is about the whole first contact with a girl,” explains singer, Anton Hockey.
“It’s about the simple idea of seeing a girl at a bar or club, and building up the courage to go up to her and ask for her name,” adds Rhys. “I love how the song is about the simplicity of asking one question, but how intense that question is.”
Having worked the touring scene constantly over the past twelve months, Front Counter have supported many high profile artists including Behind Crimson Eyes (AUS), The Butterfly Effect (AUS), Dopamine (UK); a support slot on the coveted Taste Of Chaos tour playing alongside bands including The Used, Rise Against, Aiden and the Gallows; and more recently a spot supporting Bon Jovi at Melbourne's Sidney Myer Music Bowl where the band performed in front of 15,000 people.
In 2009, Front Counter will head back in to the studio to record their follow up EP due for release in April 2009 ahead of a full national Australian tour mid-2009.
EP ‘A Toast To You and Me’ is in stores now through MGM Distribution.
