There's nothing more that Melbourne alternative rockers BRITTLE want to
do but to capture their dynamic live sound and energy in their
recordings and that's exactly what they've achieved with legendary
producer Mark Opitz at the helm on the band's new five-track EP titled
"The Owls" which will be unleashed on June 14 as a free digital
download.

The EP will be backed by a massive tour of the same name that will see the band visiting all capital cities in June, July
and August as well as a host of major regional centres around the
country. It will be their largest Australian tour since the release of
their debut EP 'Chinese Whispers' in 2008.

With his work producing landmark albums for artists including INXS, The Divinyls, The
Angels, Cold Chisel, KISS and Ray Charles, Mark Opitz's impressive
history is a good indication as to the quality you can expect from
Brittle's "The Owls".

"It was a massive learning curve for us as a band," said Brittle lead vocalist Ben "Tokyo" Whiting. "That guy
knows a lot and he taught us so much during our time working with him.
He really made sure we got our 'live' sound on the EP and most
importantly helped us work towards creating our own unique sound for
the five tracks".

Having supported artists including Faker, Kisschasy, Snow Patrol, Grinspoon, Yeah Yeah Yeah's, Something With
Numbers, and more recently Katy Perry, Brittle make their dynamic set
seem effortless and really know how to put on a show. "We are a band
that is driven by playing live," says Whiting. "If you like our band
you MUST see us live!!"

"Brittle are the type of band that you really look forward to seeing, and they never let you down," said Rock
website FasterLouder.com.au, describing Whiting's vocals as "virtually
flawless". "Regardless of whether or not you were familiar with the
songs, the band captivated the crowd. It is clear that we will be
seeing big things from them in the not too distant future" they added.

Brittle's live show isn't the only thing buzzing, they are also making headway in
the international music industry, having been described as "one of the
bands to watch" by Music Week UK & Insider Magazine, as well as
being listed as a "buzz band" by The Music Network in Australia.
