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. 3,930 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
CSS, Thursday January 5, The Corner Hotel
0 Comments. 731 Views. Posted 31 Jan 2012 @ 4:04pm.
  Cansei de Ser Sexy might translate as ‘tired of being sexy’ but last week’s show at the Corner Hotel proved CSS are far from it.  Visiting our shores for the first time as a foursome since the departure of Adraiano Cintra in November, the curtains of the Corner open to reveal the Brazilian party crew in a pose and ready for action. Lead singer Lovefoxx sets the tone, asking the... Read More

“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
Mogwai: Earth Division EP
0 Comments. 1,112 Views. Posted 6 Jan 2012 @ 10:43am.
Scotland’s hardest working merchants of distortion are back with a follow-up to their mostly acclaimed Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will. In typical Mogwai fashion, the five man band have taken what is perceived to be their sound on yet another detour. The Earth Division EP finds their tried-and-true aggression being expanded to explore all of its melodic scope. Hell, you could go as far to... 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 Vasco Era : The Vasco Era

I firmly believe that the Vasco Era are consummate professionals. I hear you scoffing and rolling your eyes, but hear me out (can you hear someone rolling their eyes?  Hmmm, for the sake of this review… yes) In a day and age where indie rock bands find a blueprint, get some fans and repeat until no one cares anymore, The Vasco Era have released their third Long Player and true to form it...

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
Government Proposals Threaten Hospitality Industry

After Draconian measures set in place by the previous Brumby Government were overturned after a resilient showing by the Melbourne community, the current Ballieu Government looks set to implement similarly myopic measures upon the city's bars and clubs. "Instead of focusing on the streets where the real problems are, the Baillieu Government and Victoria Police are making the same mistake as the... 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...

RAWR!   There is some shit in this city. Every man and his lab has a band, it seems, and plenty of places to be a band inside. That’s great – on paper. Lots of opportunities for anyone with an instrument to get up and get going. In practice, the reality’s a bit different. Bands don’t work as hard at being, well, any good. Any old shit will do; gigs are easy, most people hanging around in the... 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

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

They've booked in two shows at Melbourne's Billboard on Wednesday October 12 (18+) and Thursday October 13 (underage).

RAWR! So you're a huge US band and you've been tapped to do a cover story for a certain glossy music mag in Australia. You can't be fucked, because you're a huge US band and, pffft, Australia, right? Fuck Australia. Who cares, it's tiny and full of jailbirds with no money to buy merch when you tour anyway - correct? You dog your interview two times. The second time, you're even at a club and...

Showdown At The Corner is fast approaching and this week it's The Ox versus The Fish as they discuss the big issues from Lady Gaga to tooth brushes... Ezekiel Ox (Over-Reactor) questions Tyson Fish (The Khyber Belt)   How did your "super group" come about? “When Guy Shenfield phones you up asking if you want to play in his band you say, “Fuck yeah, brother.’”   What is a Khyber Belt? “...

My past few attempts at finding a suitably shit film to review for Optimistic Norris have been wrought with disappointment. X-Men: First Class was pretty good, Super 8 rocked, and three out of the four films I've managed to review so far weren't really bad at all. My reviews weren't even very funny or entertaining. All in all, one might say that I'm a pretty poor excuse for a column, and that I... Read More

They've been labeled everything from 'degenerate rappers' to 'the next Wu-Tang Clan'. They've had overwhelming endorsements from the 'who's who' of the rap world and among the online forum feast you'll discover equal parts of love, hate, admiration and unease. Mos Def sings their praises while Sara Quin wants the music industry to take action over their misogynistic and homophobic rants.... Read More

“I think we brought a lot of fear to the game,” says an animated Sticky Fingaz. For adolescent males, particularly Caucasian ones, the sight of four scowling black men with bald heads and hoodies proved to be equal parts appealing and frightening. It was 1993, a time of transition, a time where the music industry was about to face an attack of the mad face. “That’s a part of life, a lot of... Read More

If you thought featuring Savage Garden’s Darren Hayes on their 2006 opus Lyden Na was an interesting choice of guest vocals, wait ‘til you hear what Melbourne’s grindcore/death metal madmen Blood Duster have got in store next year. For now, it’s a surprise, as bassist Jason ‘PC’ (Fuller) insists – all you need to know is that “it sounds fucking good.” In the lead up to the band’s first and only... Read More
The Haunted

The Haunted are of that increasingly rare breed in metal: they're a band who actually try to extend themselves with each new album they create, challenging their audience at the same time. Too many metal bands play it safe and stay well within the confines of their tried and true sound, if only for fear of backlash from narrow minded and change-averse fans (especially in this day and age of '...

Single Of The Week - Snowman : Hyena

Hyena (Dot Dash/Remote Control) Snowman have emerged from several silent years to announce that their next album will be their last. They've each migrated to a different far flung locale and it's too hard to get to practice, apparently. Whatever, I say, and what the fuck? What sadism leads a band to record something as intense and amazing as Hyena then casually note that the fat lady is singing... Read More

  8am, Sunday morning. Q: What’s wrong? A: You’re not at Bunnings. It’s the ultimate man-shed. Two acres of timber, tools and trellises, guaranteed to make your man-ovaries ache. It’s a fantasy supermarket where dreams and wobbly bookshelves are made. Harley Breen has two brothers, they're both carpenters. He likes going to Bunnings to look at things he could make if they were around to fix... Read More
