Vin said he had lived in Rockingham since he was 14-year-old and went to Tranby College.

“We competed in Battle of the Bands in Rockingham once but we got disqualified for having a moshpit,” he said.

Vin said Tempest Rising was formed in 2012 and had taken him around Australia a couple of times.

“We’re looking at going to Europe at the end of the year,” he said.

Vin said the band’s first “old school” EP Transmutation was released in 2014.

“We have had two singles released since then Know My Name and A Part of Me.
