  Anyone who had the first edition of SingStar will be familiar with the hit song I Believe In A Thing Called Love performed by British glam rock band, The Darkness. Any bona fide fans of The Darkness will also know that they have been off the map for damn near six years now. Throw in some rock star drama including drug addictions, band break ups and rehab; it is clear to see the hiatus was... Read More

Sitting in amongst such luminaries of the world of heavy music such as Slipknot, System of a Down, Devin Townsend and Machine Head, I Am the Avalanche may not be the absolute biggest name on the Soundwave Festival bill, but according to the band's drummer and producer Brett Romnes, they are still a band you should avail yourself of a look at. They are a melodic punk band that project a raw and... Read More

There’s no shortage of ways to describe Jesse Hughes. As the frontman of Eagles of Death Metal, he’s a charismatic performer who can captivate a crowd with his bravado.

Well if it isn't my old friends Eskimo Joe, who I feel are possibly the worst band to emerge unscathed from the Oz indie scene of the late nineties. Continuing their unfettered success in the realms of soulless chart rock, Love Is A Drug is a shallow but bombastic tune with airy lyrics ("Love is a drug but the drug won't take me higher" - what does that even mean?) and a mechanically functional...

A change to the Australian Criminal Code is being proposed by the Ministerial Council on Drug Strategy, which would criminalise thousands of gardeners of certain plants if it's put into place.   The aim of the legislation is to target the black market for illegal drugs, and it would mean that anyone found selling or growing these plants could face a maximum penalty of ten years imprisonment...
