Adelaide neo-psych band The Empty Threats have rapidly gained popularity for their captivating live show and perfect blend of psychedelia, new wave and grit. What started as a way for Michael Bond, Stu Patterson, Matt Schultz, Lenny Regione and Katie Pomery to wag high school history classes in 2014 has led to sold-out hometown gigs and multiple nominations at the 2019, 2020 and 2021 SA Music Awards.
