With Confidence are an Australian four-piece pop punk band from Sydney, formed in 2012. The band currently consists of lead vocalist/bassist Jayden Seeley, backing vocalist/guitarist Inigo Del Carmen, guitarist Luke Rockets and drummer Joshua Brozzesi.

History

Formation, Youth EP (2012-2013)

With Confidence formed in mid 2012 with Jayden Seeley, Josh Brozzesi and Samuel Haynes, who had all attended high-school together. Shortly thereafter member Inigo Del Carmen joined, and the four began posting videos on YouTube where they released their debut single "Stand Again" for free download on 27 April 2013.[2]

The band then released their debut EP "Youth" independently on 1 July 2013,[3] and saw reasonable success, receiving national radio-play on Australian stations 2Day FM and Triple J.[4] Alongside the "Youth" EP release, With Confidence played their first Australian tour supporting Sydney pop rock band The Never Ever.[5] The band went on to play local supports for 5 Seconds of Summer,[6] The Getaway Plan,[7] and The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus,[8] continuing to build a following.

Lineup Changes, Distance EP (2014-2015)

On 8 January 2014 guitarist Samuel Haynes was announced as no longer being a part of With Confidence.[9] The band continued writing as a three-piece and on 31 March released the new single and debut music video "I Will Never Wait".[10] They supported this release with their first national headline tour in April, selling out multiple shows including Sydney's "The Lair" (The Metro Theatre).[11]

On 3 September, the band returned to four-piece status when previously touring guitarist Luke Rockets was announced as an official member of With Confidence.[12] They continued keeping the year busy touring and supporting the likes of You Me At Six, Tonight Alive,[13] Marianas Trench, and Kids In Glass Houses.[14]

The band released their sophomore EP "Distance" on 13 January 2015.[15] This was shortly followed by their second headlining tour, again selling out multiple venues throughout Australia.

Hopeless Records, Better Weather (2016-Present)

On January 4, 2016 the band announced they had signed to American independent record label Hopeless Records. They coincided this news with new single and music video "We'll Be Okay".[16] On April 5 they announced their debut full-length studio album, titled "Better Weather", to be released on June 17. As well as this, they released the song "Keeper", the second single from the album. The band will play Warped Tour in 2016.

Along with Blink 182, All Time Low, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and The Dangerous Summer mentioned in their interview with Beers with the Band on YouTube. .[17] [18]
