While the real meaning of punk is somewhat lost on the masses these days, Memorandom are determined to stay true to an ethic of questioning the answers. Forming in late 2002, the bands ethos has always been to rebut societal idiocrases, empower the unjustly embattled, and encourage logical thought and reasoned argument over blind faith and ideological manipulation.
The members of Memorandom bring a diverse range of musical experiences and interests to the band, which include jazz, metal, blues, rock, funk, swing, fusion and musical theatre. Memorandom have incorporated these influences to create music which is original and distinct, while remaining fundamentally punk rock explosive stage performance included.
While being geographically split between Canberra and Wollongong somewhat limits the frequency of shows they can play, Memorandom have nonetheless performed memorable shows with several noteworthy bands including Bodyjar, Changeofface, The Disables, Last Years Hero, Lost In Line, Self Titled, Steve Towson and the Conscripts and Unpaid Debt.
Memorandom independently released a 6 song EP in March 2004 and will be releasing their debut LP Tunnel Vision in early 2007, which will be followed by an extensive tour of Eastern Australia. The band views these opportunities as rewards for 4 years of hard work – and their determination to never follow.
