EWAH and the Vision of Paradise
Live Review + Photo Gallery: Hooper Crescent and EWAH & The Vision Of Paradise at Republic Bar, North Hobart 15.06.2024
On a cool June Tasmanian evening, two bands coalesced to bring a mix of classic post-punk to the stage of Hobart’s Republic Bar, the likes of which go to show that the genre is alive and well.

News: EWAH and the Vision Of Paradise’s Emma Waters presents special showings of film ‘Finding Paradise’ with a soundtrack from the band’s album ‘The Warning Birds’.
EWAH and the Vision of Paradise (EVoP) released a magnificent album ‘The Warning Birds’ last year (see my 9.2/10 review here) – an album that I described as being a palimpsest for beauty and decay, wild and turbulent landscapes with the intrusion of modernity and the threats and ugliness this can entail. It is an album that …

There has been a very long build up to the release of EWAH and the Vision of Paradise‘s (EVoP) second album, ‘The Warning Birds’, delayed by births, deaths and of course the horrific pandemic. We have been buoyed, however, by a drip filter of brilliant singles from the band ever since the release of ‘Play …
Track: EWAH and the Vision of Paradise return with single Vanishing Point
The arctic and chiming sounds of EWAH and the Vision of Paradise somehow echo and reflect the geographical landscapes of Tasmania and the southern climate – wild, unpredictable and ever so cool. The new single ‘Vanishing Point’ is delectable: mesmerising, hypnotic and crystalline with such a posed sense of style. Guitars scythe their way through …
Track: EWAH and the Vision of Paradise – Vultures
EWAH and the Vision of Paradise have the dubious honour of being the last band to be reviewed live on Backseat Mafia before the global lockdown, so it’s nice to return to the band when things are slowly – ever so slowly – returning to normal. ‘Vultures’ is their new single and it is a …

While undoubtedly the enigmatic EWAH, as the principle songwriter, guitarist and …
