    “We wanted to make sure there’s still a strong raw aspect to the band.  I guess really we are a live band foremost, that’s where we thrive really, and so it’s important to keep the recording spontaneous and quick in order to get that sense into the recording process.” Pulled Apart By Horses certainly took all before them in 2011, [...]

    This time last year, L.A based, teenage all girl band Cherri Bomb hadn’t even released their EP, so probably the last thing they expected to be doing in 2012 was travelling to the other side of the world and playing Australia’s biggest rock and metal festival, Soundwave! 2011 was definitely a huge year for the band, releasing their EP Stark, [...]

    “My big thing with this album, and I know it doesn’t sound anything like this, but I wanted us to make our AC/DC record.  Which is basically, let’s strip it down and be a ROCK band.  Let’s get rid of all the pretence, let’s really focus in and make a really tight 10 track record.” Having spent the best part [...]

    “You know a lot of people have been saying that it’s just building on what we’ve done in the past, it’s slightly different but it’s not a total departure.  It’s just kind of a progression I guess and that’s a pretty good feedback for me, that feels pretty good to hear someone say that to me.” From Bio: TOXIC HOLOCAUST [...]

    “We haven’t played in Australia for I don’t know, thirteen years or so, apart from being a huge festival which is a great chance to come and visit your wonderful country and hopefully for our old fans to come and see us one last time.  They’ll be the very last shows, so Perth March 5th we finish is the very [...]
