Cloud Four are a four-piece melodic punk band, formed in early 2010 from Sydney’s inner-west. United for their mutual love of a Wilhelm Scream, the joined together to play quicker, heavier punk rock. With an energetic & raucous live show to back up their solid debut EP, Cloud Four are here to stay.
Who are Cloud Four?
Sammo, Dylan, Luke and Benn. Four blokes from Sydney’s inner west.

How important do you think playing all ages gigs is, and what else do you think could be done?
It’s important because half of our audience is under age. If we play over 18s shows, our following is minimal.

Dylan got back from overseas and was lying down, really tired in band practice. We said, as he’d been in Britain, that he looked like a Leprechaun. We then debated what it is a Leprechaun would throw up, and yeah…
