In 25 words or less: Hook infested pop with a hefty dose of rock crunch and blistering guitar solos! With a name like Nine Sons Of Dan, it’s not something you are going to forget in a hurry, right? So it wouldn’t surprise if a whole bunch of you reading this are already familiar with these Gold Coast rockers, at [...]
For the considerable fanbase, both nationally and internationally of Melbourne rockers Antiskeptic, 2011 sure has been a big year of developments. Having played their last show back in 2008 at The Hi Fi in Melbourne, a few months back we finally saw the official DVD/CD release of this show, however not long after, we were also greeted with the news [...]
In 25 words or less: Dark, foreboding, moody, haunting and menacing. Purveyors of their “toxic horror rock” since the band was formed back in 2007, following on from their 2009 EP release Faith In Chaos, Melbourne’s Hatchet Dawn now announce their arrival with debut album Rebirth. Dark, foreboding, moody, haunting and menacing, listening to this album really could be from the [...]
In 25 words or less: President Rd certainly makes for one musically chaotic, but brutally enjoyable listening experience. Now this shouldn’t be taken the wrong way, but it’s probably a good thing that this album from Sydney band The Bride only clocks in at around 26 minutes, as President Rd certainly makes for one musically chaotic, but brutally enjoyable listening experience. There’s so [...]
In 25 words or less: “Turn it up loud and support REAL musicians and rock ‘n’roll”…courtesy of The Dirty Love. Upon my first listen to The Dirty Love and their cracking album Black and White my overwhelming reaction was, “why hadn’t I heard of these guys before?” Maybe it’s the fact they are based in Tasmania, as us mainland folk [...]
One thing is certain about Greenthief’s latest EP, Retribution and that is that it’s certainly unique and diverse in every regard. From the, progressive, psychedelic and experimental musical overtones, right through to the CD booklet featuring a story about two little pigs..or is it a story about two little pigs? On this their second EP, the Brisbane, Australia based trio, [...]
In 25 words or less: I couldn’t help but be mentally transported into some form of violent assault, where every guitar riff is just another slow and powerful bash to the head with a baseball bat. Lo! (yes there is a ! after the name, it’s not a typing error) originate from Sydney, Australia. Just as does their music, Lo! have [...]
In 25 words or less: “These guys need to get this heard, everywhere.” I love hearing about new bands that aren’t so new. In this case New Empire, see their name even tells me they’re new. But I digress. Symmetry is the bands newly released second album and wow! These guys need to get this heard, everywhere. This album has [...]
In 25 words: Radio friendly rock, but with a bit of attitude, a shot of personality and uniqueness and a ballsy Australian rock sound loaded with pop sensibilities. For Melbourne’s rock dynamos Spitfire Rain, the journey to get to this EP release certainly hasn’t been an easy one or a quick one, but the important thing, here it is and [...]
In 25 words of less: Unashamedly 80′s inspired melodic rock anthems with more keys than a locksmith, destined to further affirm the international standing of my fellow Aussies. Releasing two studio albums in 12 months is not an easy task, no matter who you are, but combine that with the much hyped “second album syndrome” and you could be destined [...]
In an era where many of us are still loving the rock music that we grew up with but many bands are too cool to even try and still play it, Diamond Eye refuse to forget those days and have no intention of changing who they are either. These boys love to rock and they have taken elements of every [...]
In 25 words or less: Massive.Party.Metal.Anthems. Made.For.Pumping.Fists. Air.Guitar.Good.Times. Comes.With.Keytar. Crank.Loud.Made.To.Enjoy. With a band name such as Electrik Dynamite, Hair.Denim.Sex.Metal as the album title and claims of delivering “party metal”, it was a pretty safe bet that this Melbourne based 6 piece was going to deliver my style of hard rock. But what I probably underestimated was just how good this [...]
With a title such as Music For Muscle Cars, my ears couldn’t help but already form an opinion of what they were going to hear before I had pressed play on this the second EP for Melbourne hard rockers Destroy She Said. Big, fat, chunky, pounding riffs, screaming solos, sharp as a razorblade vocals and a style of rock that [...]
In 25 words or less: Electric Mary, “rock n roll the way it used to taste”, yes indeed….and doesn’t it taste good… The Aussie classic rock behemoth that is Electric Mary have just released their latest studio offering titled Long Time Coming. For those of you that have not seen Electric Mary do what they do best and that’s play [...]
I love Bands that can make a record and release it independently. This is the case with MofoIsDead, their debut effort ‘Nubile’ is really hard to explain or to pigeon hole. These guys in their bio say ‘It’s like Muse having sex with Guns N’ Roses… and then having a baby called Radiohead.’ Accurate? Yeah kinda ha ha. Does that [...]
Devine Electric have been doing the rounds of Sydney for many years now and have always put on an energetic show playing their brand of old school Rock n Roll. This new EP ‘Excuse The Mess’ sees them bring that energy and feeling to the recorded medium. A 5 track release takes you through a few different feels, the opener [...]
If infectious three minute pop punk anthems are your thing, then the second album from Australian five piece Heroes For Hire, Take One For The Team is what you seek. Following the experience of recording the first album and relentless touring with some of the heavyweights from the pop & punk genre behind them, Take One For The Team is [...]
