From 2012 - 2022 Australian rock-trio Columbus played earnest & relatable ballads to audiences worldwide. Founding members Alex Moses (vocals, guitar) and Daniel Seymour (Drums) released their ground-breaking ‘Home Remedy EP’ in 2015, with lead single ‘Downsides of Being Honest’ grabbing hearts and radio play, launching the band through Triple J Unearthed and on to the stage at Soundwave Festival. Signing to label UNFD in 2016, Columbus’ debut LP 'Spring Forever' peaked at 47 on the ARIA charts seeing them tour Australia with Birds Of Tokyo, The Ataris, You Me At Six & Trophy Eyes whilst also conquering festivals NYE On The Hill & UNIFY. After capping off sold out Australian shows on their final 'Spring Forever' tour, their 2nd LP 'A Hot Take On Heartbreak' was released with critical acclaim, scoring 9/10 via Depth Magazine and 10/10 via Hysteria Magazine. Hot on the heels of the release, Columbus headed out on the road with William Ryan Key of US giants Yellowcard before completing an Australia-wide headline run. Following bassist Lauren Guerrera joining the band in 2019, Columbus released powerful single ‘Can’t Hide From What Hurts,’ the band’s first independent release since 2014, which received full rotation on Triple J. 2022 sees Columbus release their 'Driving In The Dark' EP, a collection of 5 songs about new beginnings, crashing the car and nursing the bruises, accompanied by a series of headline shows in April 2022. These shows would be Columbus' last.
