Art of Fighting Announce New Album and New Tour Dates

On the eve of an international jaunt that sees the band perform in the UK and Japan, Art of Fighting announce local tour dates in support of their beautifully intuitive third album Runaways. Supporting them throughout the tour will be the wonderful SubAudible Hum.

Unlike previous Art of Fighting recordings, which were carefully prepared before entering the studio and putting songs to tape, Runaways continually evolved throughout the recording process. With the band happily living ordinary lives in their home town, the genesis of Art of Fighting’s third album involved a long and collaborative process which saw the four band mates relax as they took the time to let their new songs unfold.

With the help of engineer Steven Schram [Ground Components] at the Guruland and Martin Street studios [both in Melbourne], Art of Fighting set about capturing their live sound on record. Long time collaborator Tim Whitten joined the band for mixing in the closing stages of 2006.
