A partial co-headline collision seeing us take Purge EP on its last pre-release roadtrip, and Melbourne’s IDENTITY ERROR unearthing the recent You Still Have Tomorrow EP.
Together we’re hitting multiple locations on the east coast of NSW with our respective flairs of hardcore and metalcore before Takoba split.
Teleporting to Melbourne for a wicked one with BLOOD OATH & wrapping up hometown alongside NECROSIS.
Accompanied by your cities heavy weights DOMESTICATED INCELS / HERALD / CURSES / BACKLASH / WIDOWER / HUNTSMAN / LIOTTA RAIL.
Exclusive CTS tour merch screen printed by CAUTERANT available & more TBA.
Welcome to the reckoning.
‘All-core’ and ever-changing, TAKOBA haven’t made a decision in their life beyond the decision to use their debut
PURGE EP as homebase for complete cleanse and rebuild.
Featuring members of Gosika, Stop Asking, and Exit:Seraphim/Pipoltr - this volatile stray-dog collective fuses hardcore, death metal, math, and melodic punk into a sound that’s razor-sharp, emotionally charged, and intended to strike an uncomfortable nerve.
The collection of tracks building PURGE dive headfirst into deeply personal and sickening terrain-the internal violence that remains following sexual assault; perpetual torment of mental illness; recounts of and reflections on active addiction and domestic violence.
Takoba obliterate genre lines and expectations with cathartic force and unrelenting honesty.
Since forming in 2023, Identity Error have become notorious in their local Melbourne scene for their high energy live performances.
The independent release of their debut EP “You Still Have Tomorrow” on 8th August 2025 see’s the band expose both their most deeply personal and best musical form yet, as they bare haunting reflections of life, depression and loss.
Tickets for 11th + 14th + 24th in bio.
Free Entry 13th + 17th.
TBA 12th + 15th.
