New Found Glory

  Upon doing research for my upcoming interview with Florida pop punk veterans New Found Glory, the thing that struck me the most was discovering that the band has the same lineup now as when they first burst onto the scene way back in 1997. Considering the number of personnel changes that most bands have to endure during their existence, it certainly is an incredible feat and its one of... Read More
The Vendettas : Burn
0 Comments. 1,422 Views. Posted 6 Mar 2012 @ 1:16pm.
With their debut Burn, Melburnians The Vendettas have released a ten -song all-guns-blazing barroom-brawl of an album. Beer-soaked and sweaty, the whole thing reeks of a good time. High octane alcohol fuelled riffs, addictively catchy melodies and fist pumping rhythms combine to create a solid and exciting effort that will have any fans of countrymen AC/DC and Airbourne or Swedes The...

60 Seconds With... Young Maverick

So then, what’s the band name and what do you ‘do’ in the band? The band is called Young Maverick, my name is Will, and I play Drums.   What do you think people will say you sound like? We get some Vampire Weekend references, but I don’t really see that too much. We’ve branded our style as ‘Holiday Pop’, so hopefully that catches on.   What is “Holiday Pop”? It’s pretty much exactly... Read More
Trus'Me Returns

After popping a little sampler CD in the post to various big-name labels for shits and giggles, he found his little tune Nards immediately snatched up by the musical brainchild of Jerome Derradji, Still Music – and named one of the best songs to be released that year by DJs including Gilles Peterson, signaling the beginning of something big for the man known as Trus’me. Dropping his... Read More
HTRK

It's focus that set HTRK apart. Slow paced and with an overall icy atmosphere of lust and desperation, new album Work (work, work), their follow up to their debut LP Marry Me Tonight, displays a clarity of vision that is coming to define their practice. The entire album rooted in the theme of desires, realised or denied, the now two piece have delivered a work that walks their carefully drawn... Read More
King Cannons : Stand Right Up

Stand Right Up is the first single from local act King Cannon’s forthcoming debut record, due out next year. It’s clean as a whistle, this tune, from its peppy bongo beat to its understated call and response chorus. It twangs, it twists and generally has a good time, without risk of offending anyone’s grandmother. I am, for some reason, reminded of Footloose by Kenny Loggins. Read More
Joakim

Musically, Joakim Bouaziz is a hard one to pigeonhole. Brought up on classical, including piano from the age of six and graduating from the National Conservatory of Versailles, the producer is now one of the most influential people in the French scene, crossing genre borders including everything from jazz, noise, krautrock, electro, disco, techno and anything else you can possibly think of. His... Read More

" The art of not giving a shit is so important, once you master that everything is cream cheese." These are the words of wisdom from Thunderstag main man and Wrestlerock founder Julian 'J-Large' James on the eve of his band's debut gig and album launch. And you better believe he means that anything goes, because these 'glama-billy' Melbourne madmen cite influences as far and wide as Elvis to Van... Read More
Seth Troxler

Seth Troxler hates himself. And his biography captures it brilliantly - whether he is DJing in LA, Berlin, or Buenos Aires, his evening usually ends in a corner somewhere, his head in his hands, his hands running through his hair, his eyes staring at the ground and his conceptually-rich mind wondering why all of us, not just those in the world of house and techno, don't see it: his immeasurable...

Some of you might have caught wind of Hernan Cattaneo’s heading down to Australia to play at Perth’s well-loved Big City Nights parties – and we’ve just heard that the rest of the country will get to share in the love.  From Buenos Aires, Cattaneo brings a masterful touch and an ear for an eclectic mix-up of beats ranging from progressive, deep and tribal house to breaks, techno and electro...

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
Avalanche City

Sometimes there’s just no way of telling how things are going to turn out in this crazy world of ours. Take New Zealand’s Avalanche City for example. Musician Dave Baxter decided to record his debut record alone, in one week, in an old community hall in the countryside and then put the entire record up online for free. A few thousand downloads and fans later and a record deal with Warner and you... Read More
Cass McCombs: Wit’s End

Everything is not okay with Cass MCombs, if the tone of his new album is anything to go by. In the past, there has been a restlessness to the music of this nomadic musician, but now that he has established his sound, there’s an aching loneliness at its core. McCombs seems to revel in his isolation, nestling into eight new songs that average at six minutes each, all at the same sluggish tempo.... Read More

There is a new contender to the crown of soul singing – with the pipes of Sam Cooke, Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett combined, the baby-faced Boston native, Eli ‘Paperboy’ Reed is here to rock your world and pitch the woo at your lady friends. “I grew up with a lot of music in my house,” Eli says of his early schooling in the classics of soul. “So many different kinds, blues, gospel, country, r’n...

Butch

Beneath the monolithic redwood that is modern dance music are ritualistic roots. Finding the duality between music-to-get-trashed-to and social commentary is one of the many missions of German sonic explorer Bülent Gürler , known to the wider world as Butch. "The music I do is for the people... I want them to forget their troubles for a few hours and just have a good time no... Read More
