Perth favs Sly Withers are excited to take their new record, To Be Honest, on the road this November.

Released in April, the band's fourth studio album was produced by Stevie Knight (Stand Atlantic, RedHook). To Be Honest earned plaudits from the music press and reached #11 on the ARIA Albums Chart. It features the singles 'Restless', 'Make My Mind Up', 'Look Down', 'Sick', 'The Hallway' and 'Setting Fires' and is the follow-up to their 2022 LP Overgrown.

Sly Withers are bringing along some friends on tour, with Adelaide punk rockers TOWNS and Brisbane outfit Bad Neighbour appearing at all shows.

Kicking things off at Lion Arts Factory in Adelaide on Friday 13 November, the tour continues with dates at Melbourne's Max Watts on Saturday 14 November, Hobart's Altar Bar on Sunday 15 November, Perth's Sidefest at The Rosemount from Friday 20 to Saturday 21 November, Newcastle's Hamilton Station Hotel on Thursday 26 November and Sydney's Oxford Art Factory on Friday 27 November, with the final concert at The Triffid in Brisbane on Saturday 28 November.

Tickets for all shows are on sale now via slywithers.com.

Comprising high school mates who decided to form a band, Sly Withers is vocalist and guitarist Jono Mata, guitarist Sam Blitvich, bassist Shea Moriarty and drummer Fraser Cringle (who replaced OG stickman Joel Neubecker in 2024).

For more than a decade, the quartet have been releasing catchy indie punk music that's resulted in four albums – 2016’s Sly Withers, 2021’s Gradens, 2022’s Overgrown and this year's To Be Honest.
