Bruce Springsteen : Wrecking Ball
0 Comments. 692 Views. Posted 1 May 2012 @ 11:49am.
  Bruce Springsteen refuses to quit. Throughout his career, he’s painted the landscape of the “behind the scenes” America, that of the blue-collar factory workers, the catalyst that lets the dudes in the skyscrapers keep rolling in benjamins. Or that of the country drowning in debt, hiding to the rest of the world behind silver screens everywhere. As The Boss has put it, he’s spent a life... Read More
The Panics

  When I chat to The Panics front man and songwriter Jae Laffer, his voice seems just a little bit croaky. It is completely understandable however, given the fact that just the night before his band had the dream task of supporting legendary UK electro pioneers New Order. “We had a really good time there,” he enthuses. “It was really good, you know we grew up on loads of bands from that time...

Jersey Shore To Fist Pump In Melbourne

After last week’s news of quietly-spoken exchange student Pedro of Napoleon Dynamite’s fame dropping and now this, it seems like February is my month for making terrible pop-culture references.  Which begs the question - which famous friend of ours is heading down now, you ask? Why, it’s none other than the delightfully-fake tanned and muscled-up bros from Jersey Shore, of course. It’s not... Read More

New York's Bridge & Tunnel are heading down our way for their first ever Australian tour, all in support of their new record Rebuilding Year.

The Feelies : Here Before

What’s not to be excited about a new Feelies album? The Feelies’ first two albums, 'Crazy Rhythms' and 'The Good Earth' (released for the first time on CD a couple of years ago) are justifiably listed in the most significant releases of the post-punk era. Having been enticed back into live performance - including a to-die-for appearance at All Tomorrow's Parties in New York - The Feelies have... Read More

Thursday : No Devolución
0 Comments. 1,858 Views. Posted 22 Apr 2011 @ 12:19am.
I had high hopes for this album. I really did. After Thursday's last effort Common Existence, I was hoping for a shift away from the drab, monotone landscape that haunted the album and back to some melodic, solid hardcore akin to their earlier albums. So I cracked some cheap port, hit the play button and prayed for some retribution.Sadly though, the New Jersey band’s sixth long-player No... Read More

    Catherine Traicos has come a long way since her days of crippling shyness where the singer-songwriter thought she’s cry from merely being in conversation. On the eve of the release of her debut album The Love Inside , the Zimbabwe-born artist says she’s letting go of her fears and learning self-acceptance.  ... Read More
