Counting Crows have been a household name since they burst onto the scene back in 1993 with their monster album ‘August & Everything After’… and 22 years on, they’re still going, still making music and now off the back of their newest album ‘Somewhere Under Wonderland’ they’re back in Australia and here we go… Support act Ben Salter made his […]

“…some of the songs on the record are sad and some are happy, but in our world even at our saddest we should be happy in comparison to some of the stuff that’s going on in the rest of the world, with what’s going on in the news and I don’t know, some of our worst problems are not problems […]

OK, so I fell in love with Halestorm (and Lzzy Hale mind you) within seconds of hearing the cowbell intro to ‘It’s Not You’ back in 2009, since then I have spread the word, shared the love about this killer band and watched them make a name for themselves out there in this big world. I wasn’t sure how it […]

I love a debut album, I just do, it’s the chance to make that introduction and make that statement of ‘here I am’ and Dellacoma is here to do just that. You may know Dellacoma from his days fronting the killer band Sunset Riot, but now after going solo and traipsing around the USA playing shows and kicking ass it’s […]

The new single DEAD INSIDE from The Art, is scheduled for independent release on April 25, (in physical and digital format).  DEAD INSIDE evolved after experiencing the highs and lows of touring, and the binary feeling when the whole crazy party is over.  Trying to relate to the home life (polar opposite in nature to touring) and coming to grips […]

“…the record started taking shape as we started writing songs but we definitely knew we wanted to push things, we wanted to make a dynamic record, we didn’t want to do a repeat of the one we had just put out before. Those were all the things that we went in with to start and then I think when we […]

After enduring the world’s seventeenth longest line to get into the venue, this country loving crowd have turned out in droves to catch one of the best live bands I’ve ever seen in the Zac Brown Band. Now the last time we saw ZBB back in 2013 I was blown away so tonight I’m looking forward to seeing the band in […]

Review by: Gwendolyn Lee Arriving at The Hi-Fi once doors opened, I was met with the longest line I’ve ever seen at the venue, especially this early into the night, travelling all the way down the side of the venue and across to the car park. Tonight was going to be a great night to see Switchfoot live once again, […]

Cancer Bats are back with their new album ‘Searching For Zero’ their return after 2012’s ‘Dead Set On Living’ and it’s time to start my own one man circle pit at home and get ready for what I’m expecting to be a fast, heavy album! Opening track ‘Satelites’ with its gentle ‘whoa oh’s has you settled in and then it’s […]

Watford punks GALLOWS have unleashed another track from their forthcoming ‘Desolation Sounds’ album, released April 10 on Venn/Double Cross/CVA. Titled ‘Mystic Death’, it begins in true Gallows style; an epic, dark foreboding riffs open up the song before the band charge in with a pure and brutal stomping beat and utterly head-pummeling riff. ‘Swagger, attitude and menace are the tools of our trade,” states guitarist Laurent Barnard, summing up […]

Do you have a silverchair story? I do… don’t worry it’ll all be relevant to this review… so in 1994 I was going to school in St Kilda, one of the guys tells us to come to The Espy on Friday as ‘there are these kids that are unbelievable, they’re going to be huge…’ we look at him like ‘ok…’ […]

They always say that there’s a first time for everything, so here I am at The Factory Theatre in Sydney to see not only a spoken word tour, but my first experience in seeing one. So a pretty good way to start is with David Ellefson, Megadeth’s co-founder and bass player, but more on him shortly… Carbon Black open proceedings […]

This was the second of two nights in London, and the last night of the 15 date UK tour for this cracking double bill, and on early arrival at the venue, there were already two long lines of people queuing for the doors – 40 minutes prior to them opening. Despite the competition from the 6 nations rugby, this was […]

If there is a name that is synonymous with Swedish melodic death metal, it has to be the one and only At The Gates. Known as one of the forefathers of what would become Swedish melodic death metal, At The Gates set a benchmark with their iconic 1995 album ‘Slaughter Of The Soul’ – a release that would be an […]

Many doomsayers are writing rock’s obituary in 2015. But if you think rock is dead, ready yourself for the debut album from Melbourne’s Palace Of The King.  Titled White Bird/Burn The Sky, this is rock and roll that leaves a trail of denim-clad soldiers and converted non-believers in its wake. On June 19, 2015, it’s time for the White Bird […]

“…it’s connecting with other people through the medium of music, we love playing in our studio, we love recording the songs but they never have the same passion as when you’re trying to play them in front of someone. I think almost the goal of our band is to be like a magician who’s equally as surprised when the rabbit […]

“…when I created Alice it was at a time when I looked at all the bands and they were all heroes, all rock heroes and I said where’s the rock villains and rock needed a villain and I will gladly be Captain Hook, I will gladly be the Dracula of rock…” The word legend gets used a little too much […]

“It’s great to have something that’s stood the test of time like that and where people just relate songs to certain periods of their life or certain things that happened to them and you can see that on people faces because they get really emotional about a lot of the songs on that record.” From release: Counting Crows have sold […]
