Waterview is a four-piece rock/hardcore band from Port Stephens, near Newcastle, on the East Coast of Australia.
The band formed in 2003, and played several local and interstate shows before releasing an independent EP in late 2006. It's track "Daybreak" received a great response, Stu Harvey of Australian radio station Triple J loved the track so much he played it several times on his radio show, Short.Fast.Loud, as well as reviewing the track on the bands Unearthed Web Page. After that, the song began to see more frequent airplay on the station and soon won them Unearthed competition for a spot on the Come Together Music Festival at Luna Park Sydney on the Queens Birthday Long Weekend.

Since then the band reached the Number One spot on the Punk Chart of Triple J's Unearthed. Also having their tracks added to several U.S compilations, one of which run by well-established punk/indie magazine Skratch.
The band have a large following and fan-base in their home-town of Newcastle. After a short tour in early 2007, Waterview are trying to creep into the mainstream music scene of Australia's punk and hardcore acts.
