“I think the songs that moved me, it wasn’t like let’s put on this because it was a hit, or because somebody asked for it, I just followed my instincts completely on what sounded great to me and it’s a piece of art to me, it’s not product, so if people respond to it as music, should it matter?” John […]

From Bio: Having survived the Mayan Apocalypse of 2012 and with the bands line-up finalized, As Angels Bleed really had no choice but to abandon the sanctuary of Hell’s Gate and bring their brand of symphonic vampiric metal to the stages of the world. Joining Valhallian vocalist Avelina De Moray and shred guitarist Von Lehmann on their odyssey will be […]

Welcome to my favourite album released in 2013 so far! This one jumped at me and surprised the b’jesus out of me. I had never heard of Bellusira before so when this landed in my hands and I finally got around to checking it out, I kicked myself that I hadn’t done so weeks earlier. So now after listening for […]

“No matter what language or dialect or whatever that you speak, Heavy Metal Music means Heavy Metal Music and I want to make sure that everybody’s clear that if I’m going to do this again and go all the way in frickin neck deep, I want to make sure that there’s question as to what style I’m playing.” Jason Newsted, […]

“I remember us starting out being a band as well, we would sort of jump at the opportunity of having a touring band have us play, and some of the bigger acts are doing that already with some of the more established acts like us around Australia, so definitely something we want to consider and maybe the next big run […]

“Anytime you get to do something new like this it’s what keeps it fresh you know, being able to plan for a tour like this and rehearse for a tour like this, it just provides a fresh new energy for the band and it’s going to be cool to see how we all come together and put our own personal […]

“Our live show is our focus point, and I think it’s the truest form of ATL. We have the best time playing in front of people, and our goal is to always make people feel like they’re a part of the show, not just watching it, but existing as a part of it.” The pop / punk / rock ‘genre’ […]

From Bio: Tracer have come a long way since forming in Adelaide, South Australia just under 10 years ago. They made two independent mini albums (the three-song Into The Night in 2006, and the seven-track L.A. in 2009), but their debut proper came with “Spaces In Between” released on Mascot Label Group in late 2011. That album was widely praised […]

Some albums are hard to review, if they don’t grab you or you just can’t find the right words to put down, but then there are albums that are easy to review and they just flow out as you can just feel from the start that you’ll enjoy it, you’ll get it and you’ll want to share your thoughts with […]

Tonight in Sydney, we’re set for a night of Aussie rock and chick rock power reigning supreme as we have Diva Demolition and Bellusira taking the stage on the first night of their ‘Miss Adventures’ tour… Now the last time I saw tonight’s openers Bonney Read was when they won their heat of the Hard Rock Cafe battle of the […]

“I think timing in the world works for it now. We’re in this world of change and to be changing with it works for us, and it’s been surprising to us how much people are picking up on it, and you wonder why things don’t work at other times but I think it’s just the way the world rolls out, […]

The unadorned sonic […]

“My favourite moments are the moments when I’m in the crowd, on top of the crowd and they’re just screaming along with me every word of the song. That to me is the biggest rush, the biggest adrenalin rush, some of the greatest memories and moments of playing in a band ever is just those few moments of being absolutely […]

Bio: We’re a rock band from Brisbane. We’ve all been in and out of bands for a while. Somewhere along this journey, some of the music we were involved in had become not quite as fun as what it once was. Maybe when you become more concerned about which radio station will play your ‘genre’ or whether you get to […]

Aussie rock is alive and well, even if it may not always be at the top of the charts or all over mainstream radio (well not the new stuff anyway, you’re safe if you released a song before 2000) so when Airbourne are back in Australia, you know you’re in for a show that is loud, heavy and a damn […]

“There’s definitely a lot going on, so it’s hard to sort of capture exactly everything that we wanted to in a first listen. I think that’s where it comes from writing it over such a long time as well, you know songs do get quite complicated in terms of the textures and how much is actually present in a song…” […]

“It’s just really easy to listen to and I’m really pleased with the simplicity of the arrangements and the production and also from a vocal point of view I’ve kind of wanted to really explore the lower more warmer tones and territory of my voice and I’ve done that with this record.” From tour release: Rick Price has walked the […]

“Yeah it’s been really fantastic, we feel so grateful and really so humbled every time we come out there and it just started happening on this record and it’s really been a bright spot on this whole ‘Odd Soul’ experience for us and it’s still one of our favourite records and we’re really grateful that Australia seems to have liked […]

“Yeah I mean I hope it’s just that we try to stay true to as much as we can a three piece band without very much to hide behind, and it forces us to be a band, and play off of each other and not reply on things on tape and pyrotechnics and plastic rubber balls and all the rest […]

“I’d say its loud social commentary, I’ve heard a lot of people say anthemic when they describe it, but I don’t know, I think it just sounds like loud, angry, catchy commentary.” From Bio: Desaparecidos is a rock band featuring Conor Oberst (vocals,guitar) Landon Hedges (bass guitar, vocals), Matt Baum (drums), Denver Dalley – (guitar) and Ian McElroy (keyboards). The […]

Bio: Sunsets are a Brisbane based pop-punk band that formed in the end of 2010 with one goal; to have FUN and to play FUN music! In March 2011, Sunsets put out their first release “We’re In This Together”, and this first release allowed the band to start building a name for themselves, gaining bigger support slots and touring interstate […]

“For me I think the concept is more to do with when you add ‘un’ as a prefix, when you add ‘un’ in front of a word, you actually look at it and gain a new perspective on the word and it has a different meaning. So for me ‘Unimagine’ is to kind of deconstruct where you are and build […]

From tour release: One of the UK’s most exciting new bands, rock quartet Peace, is gearing up to tour Australia for the first time, playing east coast shows throughout September. Being nominated as BBC’s Artist of 2013 and NME’s Best New Band is just a start for these four young upstarts from Birmingham. Peace released their debut album ‘In Love’ […]

“The word that keeps coming up is rejuvenation, it’s just fresh and feels like something, it is new, she’s not Lacey, but there is this freshness and rejuvenation in the music and in her voice and really enchants you and it’s an amazing experience.” From tour release: Flyleaf’s style of hard rock is reminiscent of Deftones, Evanescence and Chevelle. Heavy […]

Guns N’ Roses are one of those bands that has cult status back in the day and as each member formed their own personality within the band, a guy like Gilby Clarke had his perfect place within the band and has gone on to still be prominent in the industry even almost twenty years after leaving GnR. He was only […]

“So we recorded the album, had written the album and done the artwork for the album ourselves, and that’s something we’d never done before, and it was just like a really, really awesome experience to do that.” When we last spoke with Dream On, Dreamer back in 2011 and then proclaimed them as one of our Best Things You’ve Never […]
