New Empire – In a Breath

New Empire – In a Breath

New Empire are a band that are very easy to listen to, their songs are full of great musical grooves, killer harmonies and at times just big over the top production. These are things that I like. ‘In a Breath’ is the newest release from this Aussie band and it’s a great return from their last album ‘Symmetry’ which produced […]

Like Thieves – The Wolves at Winter’s Edge

Like Thieves – The Wolves at Winter’s Edge

It’s always hard when you have a front man that you are well aware of his previous works… so what I need to not do is use this review as a comparison between what vocalist Clint has done before and purely base it on this new band, this new project, truly as anyone should anyway, so nothing to worry about […]

Bellusira – Connection

Bellusira – Connection

Welcome to my favourite album released in 2013 so far! This one jumped at me and surprised the b’jesus out of me.

Gay Paris – The Last Good Party

Gay Paris – The Last Good Party

Gritty, rockin’, dirty, bluesy, sweaty, loud and louder. That was my instant reaction to when I put this album on, and that’s a good thing. From straight out of the gates it was on, and if you didn’t tell me this was an Australian band, I never would’ve guessed, as this sounds like it’s straight out of the Southern swamps […]

Baby Animals – This Is Not The End

Baby Animals – This Is Not The End

Twenty years is a long time between releases and especially for a band that was so big in their hey day like the Baby Animals were, but here we are now in 2013 and Suze DeMarchi and Dave Leslie thought it was time to return, and what a time it is. ‘This Is Not The End’ sees Suze and Dave […]

Devine Electric – self titled EP

Devine Electric – self titled EP

Doing the rounds of Sydney for quite some time now, Devine Electric have been a band that we’ve featured before on the site, and their no nonsense rock and roll has been a favourite by many in the scene with a live show that is loud and proud and a sound reminiscent of that late 70’s early 80’s rock which […]
