Mesa Cosa : Infernal Cakewalk
0 Comments. 1,313 Views. Posted 11 Apr 2012 @ 1:13pm.
This formidable debut is as picturesque as the moment you decided to shelf your first pill, swig the remaining dregs from last week's goon bag, tonsil slap your best friends younger sister and donkey punch your way into the mosh pit. So, in layman's terms, Infernal Cakewalk is one fuck-off debut! Mesa Cosa are six suburban rat bags thrown into a city of unknowns, living in (no doubt) dilapidated... Read More
American Pie: Reunion
0 Comments. 3,927 Views. Posted 3 Apr 2012 @ 10:35am.
  Jason Biggs and Seann William-Scott: most of you know them as the guys who sexually-assaulted a pie and unknowingly drank jizz in some of the most memorable scenes in Hollywood history, and they’re back for the fourth chapter in perhaps the most quoted and sentimental film franchise amongst teenagers in the late ‘90s/early ‘00s – American Pie. We sit down with the boys in an... Read More
Lambchop : Mr M
0 Comments. 818 Views. Posted 13 Mar 2012 @ 1:20pm.
  Four years has been the biggest gap between Lambchop albums, but when Kurt Wagner’s gruff, gentle vocal cuts in with the lyric ‘Don't know what the fuck they talk about’ on the new album’s opening song If Not I’ll Just Die, it’s as if they’d never been away. And just like that particular lyric, Wagner hasn’t paid any mind to what has been happening outside his bubble and dishes up some... Read More

So then, what’s the band name and what do you ‘do’ in the band?The band’s name is The Philistines, my name is Chris, and I play guitar and sometimes throw things.   Bearing the terrible clichéd nature of this question, what do you reckon people will say you sound like?Garage-Punk with a twist of wasted.   What do you love about making music?Playing live shows. When we... Read More
Last Dinosaurs

 Releasing your first record as a band has always been a thrilling and nerve-wracking procedure. Yet in comparison to 20 or 30 years ago, releasing a record in 2012 can be even more of a drawn out procedure. With the internet now involved, a buzz must be created online before the actual record is released. And it’s that divide between the virtual and the physical which is getting to Sean... Read More
Leonard Cohen : Old Ideas
0 Comments. 1,021 Views. Posted 28 Feb 2012 @ 10:28am.
If you listen to Leonard Cohen too young you can seriously fuck up your life. I spent much of my adolescence listening to his records with an intensity that bordered on reverence, scouring his lyrics for the wisdom swathed in metaphor and symbolism for clues on how to deal with my raging heart. It gave me a lifelong appreciation for wordsmiths and lyricists, and must have made me very boring at... Read More
Vengaboys & Perez Hilton : Rocket to Uranus
0 Comments. 979 Views. Posted 12 Jan 2012 @ 9:12am.
Let me take this opportunity to say that three sold out Vengaboys gigs at the Corner represents nothing short of Armageddon, a world in wholesale decay, imploding in a stew of putrescent, fluoro-shaded intestinal bile. What the fuck is wrong with you people? Seriously? WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? I'm not kidding. Stop laughing. Read More
Steel Panther

“If I’m wrong, I’ll only let two chicks suck my dick instead of the normal 5. That’s how serious I am. Just wait. I ain’t wrong.” It’s the tweet which sparked one of the biggest local music stories of the year. Steel Panther drummer Stix Zadinia broke the news that the Van Halen-headlined Soundwave Revolution was no more, meaning Steel Panther would not be hitting our shores as planned. Luckily... Read More
Mastodon

Man, Mastodon's Crack The Skye is a hard album to top. Heavy, progressive, psychedelic, multilayered, complex – any concept album that knits together such disparate elements as Rasputin and astral travel has gotta be followed up by something pretty big. Just like Crack The Skye, The Hunter (Roadrunner) finds Mastodon doing what they do best – combining lyrical and musical creativity – yet the... Read More
Fucked Up, Wednesday November 30 - East Brunswick Club
0 Comments. 1,412 Views. Posted 20 Dec 2011 @ 10:32am.
Support slots are a funny thing. Within the space of two months, I saw Jay-Z and Fucked Up perform as guests for U2 and The Bronx respectively. Both sets were incredible in their respective sense. But the label of support comes loaded with an impedance of context, one which wouldn't materialise in the festival setting, for instance. Lucky for us, Fucked Up have graced us with their presence...

RAWR! The end of the year draws ever closer, and that usually means a ballsy list of all the grouse albums what I done rocked out to quite heartily over the course of 2011 'n' that. One reader of the ol' Metaloc has requested that I keep it all-Austrayan this year, so that's what we're gonna do. This is the local shit that busted my speakers but good:   1.

The Television Sky : We Trust That The Moon Shall Guide Us
0 Comments. 1,387 Views. Posted 9 Dec 2011 @ 8:33am.
A sucker for plaintive, slow-burning 'kiss-me-I'm-dying' instrumental outfits is what I am, so, Melbourne trio The Television Sky find their recent six-tracker in good hands. Treading the line between suitably messy and heartbreakingly exultant, We Trust That The Moon Shall Guide Us is a success just as far as respectful arrangement and loping crescendos-as-foreplay are concerned. I... Read More

Although many more ladies have formed or joined bands in the last ten years or so, rock music still has somewhat of a 'boys club' feel to it. The majority of modern rock bands are still all-male, or at least male dominated. It's still fairly rare to see female members in rock bands and to find all-female bands playing hard rock is even more of an oddity. There are, of course, a few bands... Read More

Hi. Welcome to the annual Beat article about the annual Future Of The Left Australian summer tour. As per usual, this year our guest is Mr Andrew Falkous, aka Falco, front mouth of the titular band. Okay, let's just backup a little here. The geographically Welsh Future Of The Left, née mclusky, are well known and loved in Australia for their idiosyncratic musical lacerations, and the...

RAWR! This week is "Fuck Yeah Tim Lambesis" week. He's just restarted his blog over at timlambesis.tumblr.com, and I like what he's got to say. He's not a dumbass and he doesn't mince words, and that's a win. Recently he came out and had a massive stab at how twisted the current digital infrastructure can be in terms of what it takes for a band to actually thrive these days, and crafted a... Read More
Laura Jean

Make no mistake about it, Laura Jean is a proud Australian. But she understands that as great as her country may be, it's not without faults. Her opinion is no more evident than on Australia , one of the more poignant tracks from her latest full-length, A Fool Who'll . It's a defiant track for the normally reserved folk chanteuse, but Jean insists it was necessary for her to speak her mind. "I... Read More

RAWR! You know what's weird about music, is that it's way less melodramatic behind the scenes than those two other forks in the entertainment trident. You've got billion-dollar video games publishers being as corrupt as anything and those endless miles of self-important bullshit in Hollywood, but rarely do I encounter the same when communing with men and women of music these days. Tell you why... Read More

Hay guys! Remember how you've been waiting, like, forever to see Weezer live and how no one, not even the most cashed up, persuasive promoters can lure these guys to our shores. Well never mind that, it's all going to be okay because Good Charlotte, those dudes in the fedoras who penned a couple of mildly tolerable pop rock tunes a decade ago and now make money by dating celebrities and pimping...

Graveyard Train

While arranging an interview with exponentially-rising horror-country outfit Graveyard Train, I start to envision a leisurely dusk stroll through the fitting surrounds of Melbourne General Cemetery - an effort to complement the band's often macabre body of work, all the while discussing their imminent Halloween spectacular. As it turned out, today was hot - so hot that I'd probably start to envy... Read More

RAWR!   Some folk don't fancy this column - but lots more dig it, and there's one reason rule them all. When I first started carrying on like a metally porkloin, no-one gave a shit. Too right, why would they? It was just another tiny space in a big street press potentially written by a young neophyte with delusions of alterna-cool and no real idea. These days, I get lots of mail from... Read More

RAWR! Soooo, how about that Soundwave lineup, innit. You've already forgotten how bad that lot fucked you over with the Revolution debacle, haven't you? As well you should. You're an easily swayed sort and probably taste your own butthole when you think no-one is looking. Everyone loves the '90s and early naughties, which is what we're gonna be aurally feasting upon in excess around March next... Read More

I'm all for artistic freedom and allowing bands to ebb and morph and shrink and flower into whatever mysterious being they want to become. People enjoy placing restrictions on music. On what bands should do and how they should sound.  Whenever my favourite bands (somewhat inevitably) dissipate into a sound I no longer like, I usually find it within myself to let them go...

The Drones

The Drones are the kind of band that keeps you awake at night. It's their haunting, indomitable fortitude; the heavy conscience; those arcane, twisted and grave lamentations spilling out like a maniacal speech; the stifling tension, raw grit and cathartic deliverance. Above all, they're an untouchable live band, but trawling through a box full of live footage for the assembling of their four-and-... Read More

OK. Ok. Listen. I love Nirvana as much as the next Gen Y dipshit. I do. In fact, I can genuinely say they played a role in transforming my taste in music. My brother grew so tired in my horrific penchant for Top 30 Ace Of Base ‘90s techno trash that he literally locked me in his room one day and force fed me Soundgarden, Foo Fighters, Smashing Pumpkins and – of course- Nirvana. I’ll always... Read More

Name/Band: Brenton/Kill Teen Angst. Define your genre in five words or less: Indie Punk Rock.   So, someone is walking past as you guys are playing, they then go get a beer and tell their friend about you... what do they say?

Flared up with froth.   ~tobes TESSERACT VOCALIST QUITS Seeing Periphery tour this year was an important day for me, 'cos I realised how I much I don't actually like Periphery. What was even more important was that I got to see TesseracT on that tour, and I realised how absolutely fucking phenomenal TesseracT are. Which is why I fell into deeply pensive sadness... Read More
Eagle And The Worm

Eagle And The Worm's debut album has perhaps the most apt title for its contents: Goodtimes . That's what it is, man, ten tracks of it. Eagle And The Worm are certainly a party band and with their near-perfect party album spinning it's like an eight-piece band set up in your living room. Loosey goosey good times. The man behind it all, Jarrod Brown, says, "It's going pretty sweet. I... Read More
The Used

It's almost safe to say without empirical evidence that The Used's fanbase is comprised mainly of 18-year-olds with side fringes and masochistic tendencies. Disregarding the age, this is reflective of the band members themselves. But for all his wrist-slitting, fuck-the-world lyrics, front man Bert McCracken (who actually doesn't have a typical side fringe and looks more like the love child of... Read More
Priory Dolls Vs Reckless Vagina

Priory Dolls start the conversation: I told someone I was playing with a band called Reckless Vagina and they kicked me in the face out of shock. This isn't a typical reaction at all. Usually, people are quite receptive to the band name and quite often praise us for having the balls to try something so wristkay. The guy that kicked you in the face was that same guy who borrowed all our gear... Read More
