Wicked Smile - The Carlisle, Hastings - Wednesday 3rd June 2026

Australia’s Wicked Smile are all about bringing back fist pumping heavy rock to the forefront. They released one of the albums of the year in 2021; a collection of ten ‘killer songs’, produced by Paul Laine (The Defiants) and mastered by Bruno Ravel (The Defiants/Danger Danger).  

Guitarist Stevie Janevski goes on to say, “we’re a five-piece kick ass heavy rock band and I think we made our presence known with the release of our debut album Wait For The Night".

Wicked Smile is fronted by charismatic powerhouse lead vocalist Danny Cecati (ex Pegazus & Eyefear) with Stevie Janevski (ex Black Majesty & Cyclone Tracy) & Dave Graham (EX In Malice's Wake) on guitars, Tom Nugara (Envenomed) on bass & Andrew Sharp (EX Pegazus) on drums.

Lyrically, the band explores current issues within society such as civil unrest, bullying and mental health. Songs like We Fall, Sign Of Times, Daze Of Delirium, Stronger, Last Goodbye & Don’t Wait For Me are all thought provoking and not the cliché lyrics that you’d expect for this style of heavy rock. 

Wicked Smile has been overwhelmed by the positive response from the underground rock and metal community. Steve Price at ARfm radio called the band “kickass Australian rock with killer vocals”. 

Fans of Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Dio and Skid Row should feel at home, with the band drawing major influence from seventies and eighties heavy rock and heavy metal. 

Wicked Smile released an ep titled 'Night Time Riders' in 2023 and toured the United Kingdom (for the second time in one year) where they performed at renowned festivals such as Winter Storm & Planet Rockstock.

 The band signed with Hellion Records in Brazil and Wait For The Night is now available now in South America.

Such is the demand, fans have requested a vinyl version of Wait For The Night. The debut album will be available on ‘green limited edition vinyl’ which will be launched in March 2025. 

Wicked Smile will release their new single ‘when night falls’ on october 8th 2025 & their long awaited sophomore album in japan on October 29th to coincide with first ever tour of Japan in November 2025.
