What once was a solo project by Keryn who had a few songs he wanted to record and see what it sounded like, To then fast forward 3 years and a new South Wales 5 piece band was created. Having recorded enough tracks to create an album by the end of 2023 and with a succession of single releases since then , 2024 is shaping up to be a fantastic year for the band. Reared on a diverse diet of Green Day, Metallica, The Beatles, Blink 182, Thin Lizzy, and the Offspring, the band have distilled these influences to cleverly carve out a singular sound of their own. The band, having diligently worked on their live set and are now poised to play extensive shows.

ZACTHELOCUST brings a raw and authentic delivery that aligns perfectly with the genre’s tradition. The lead singer’s voice captures the essence of emotion, conveying both vulnerability and determination. The chorus is a standout moment, encouraging the listener to hold on and persevere through tough times, creating an anthemic quality that is sure to resonate with a wide audience. “Hold On” not only pays homage to the band’s influences but also marks ZACTHELOCUST’s distinctive contribution to the contemporary punk-rock scene. The song’s production is crisp, allowing each instrument to shine while preserving the raw authenticity that defines the genre.”ZACTHELOCUST brings a raw and authentic delivery that aligns perfectly with the genre’s tradition.
