  In his inspired and inspiring SXSW keynote address, Bruce Springsteen quoted legendary music critic Lester Bangs, who wrote that Elvis Presley was the last thing that we would all agree on. Springsteen talked about a time when there were so few bands around that record stores didn’t exist, when albums were racked in a corner of the local drug store. Not anymore. There are more music...

  “Blessed are the bearded men, for they shall inherit the Earth.” Jesus Christ did not utter this phrase, but he should have. Bearded men the world over have suffered stoically in a world not suited for their facial hair. In recent history, the bearded have been forced to live under a regime of shaving cream, razors and after-shave. A cabal of clean-chins has controlled the power for too... Read More

Anyone who thought this band would be struggling to write more songs about beards will be proven utterly wrong as the Aussie four... Read More

Anna Salen grills Xenograft   So you guys are releasing a live DVD. What's the best part of making a live DVD? Getting Rick Moranis to shrink the band then hiding in everyone's TVs so they think they're actually watching a DVD when we're in fact playing live in a condensed format.   What had to be edited out? Anyone who buys the DVD will know that we have edited very little out.... Read More

Between the creepy bearded lady at the carnival and the fact that it's the accessory of choice for the homeless, it's no wonder beards have developed a bad reputation. Fortunately, four brave men are standing up for the black sheep of the facial hair family. Those men are Adelaide quartet The Beards. 'Melbourne. Are you in the mood…for beards?' lead singer Johann Beardraven asks a sold out... Read More

 Nathaniel Beard is "just preparing [his] beard for the tour" when I call him.

For The Beards, who hail from Adelaide and describe themselves as "more of a propaganda machine [than a band]", music isn't exactly their top priority. Beards are. Sure, they play music, but more importantly, they have beards. That doesn't mean their music isn't both catchy and hilarious - it just means that this interview is not about music at all. It's about beards.... Read More

With a repertoire of songs... Read More
