They have embarked on several national tours and supported the likes of Mad Caddies, A Wilhelm Scream, Joey Cape, Hard-Ons, The Porkers, and Frenzal Rhomb. Once described by Alex from The Underground Stage as "complicated, hilarious, boisterous and bonkers - the best head wound you'll ever have." Modus Fire are a prog-punk powerhouse and an explosive blend of melodic brass and wild guitar riffs. Their exciting sound is tied together with infectious hooks, catchy choruses, powerful vocals and orchestrated horns, with an impressive narrative and musical complexity. Modus Fire forge a unique sound both nostalgic and forward-thinking. Sanny Veloo is a rising force in Australian alternative rock — fusing blistering guitar work with emotionally honest songwriting. Veloo first made headlines as frontman of Singapore’s Boredphucks, a politically charged punk band banned by the government. After migrating to Australia, he co-founded The SUNS and later fronted EMPRA, touring internationally, sharing stages with Fall Out Boy and British India, and collaborating with Gotye and LGBTQ icon G-Flip.
