It’s weird, it’s come around so quick that I feel like I was only just at Soundwave yesterday… oh wait… that’s right, welcome to Day 2 of the Soundwave extravaganza… now after yesterday I’m sore and weary but that doesn’t stop me getting in nice and early and already losing about 15kgs from sweat in the most ridiculous heat possible, […]

As I caught the Incutrain on my way to Incubus tonight I was thinking how I’d never seen them before and that somewhat confused me, as I’ve always been a fan of what they’ve done but have no idea why I haven’t. So tonight, that changes… Le Butcherettes are on nice and early and although there’s only no word of […]

Rarely can a musical artist claim to be a true innovator, a creator of their own genre, a revolutionary amongst a sea of sameness…FEAR FACTORY is one of those rare cases. The pioneers of industrial-tinged extreme metal, FEAR FACTORY, wrote the book on industrial metal that has influenced the likes of Rammstein and Ministry. This is a band that knows […]

“…we sort of think that we figured out what Bayside was supposed to sound like a long time ago, and we love the way it sounds, and everybody has that band that they love that stopped sounding like their favourite band, and we never want to do that, we always want to sound like Bayside.” From Bio: BAYSIDE fans don’t […]
