VIEW HEAVY AUSTRALIAN CONTENT DIGIMAG #272 HERE This week, HEAVY is proud to feature Aussie legends Bodyjar on the cover, with frontman Cam stopping in to tell us all about the run of shows they have coming up. It’s also a massive weekend for festivals this week, with Dead Of Winter taking place in Brisbane and Thrashville in the Hunter Valley. To commemorate the occasion, HEAVY has ramped up a special getting to know the bands Q & A segment, so catch up on some band gossip as well.

Bodyjar is bringing the machine back in for its 25-year scheduled service this July and August 2026, proving that classic Aussie punk rock never goes out of style. Celebrating a quarter-century of their iconic, gold-selling fourth album How It Works, the Melbourne legends are hitting the highway for the massive How It Still Works national tour. Let’s be honest: when an album like How It Works drops in 2000 and completely reshapes the landscape of Australian punk, you don’t just let it gather dust.
