Mesa Cosa : Infernal Cakewalk
0 Comments. 1,354 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
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
Mistletone Fright Night, Friday January 13, The Corner
0 Comments. 1,455 Views. Posted 31 Jan 2012 @ 11:29am.
  For a dude that’s done nothing but incredibly cool shit over the past year, Sydney’s Jonti still possesses one hell of a dorky disposition. Performing from the Swan St side of the bandroom (what’s usually The Corner’s DJ booth was transformed into a full-on second stage for the evening), Jonti crafted a fine set of dance jams with his vintage synth-led setup. Signing off, he played the... Read More
Toxic Holocaust

  You could be forgiven for thinking that Toxic Holocaust just arrived via DeLorean. They have all the hallmarks of '80s thrash, from raw sound and punk energy to the apocalyptic typeface and artwork that are synonymous with this ilk. There has been a thrash revival throughout the noughts and Toxic can be counted as one of the contemporaries breathing new life into the three decade old genre... 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

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 Compass CIRCLES   2.... Read More
Metalocalypse - October 12, 2011

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
Cosmo Jarvis

Gay pirates are not your average pop song topic, but then nothing is average about Cosmo Jarvis. The New Jersey born cum Englishman is a prolific songwriter and filmmaker, in Melbourne for the very first time to release his second album in the past two years. His unique alternative pop songs have commanded a diverse audience, and they are always complemented in cyberspace by his theatrical video... Read More

RAWR!   Being liked is easy: Say and do things that please other people. I'd never begrudge anyone for wanting to be popular because, hey, free drinks sometimes, but that kind of bland pandering - blandering - does not a good objective force make. Sometimes, shit is shit. Real humans gotta call it like it is. Riddle me this: If you sucked total ass at something, wouldn't you want to... Read More

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? “...

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
Moroccan Kings

Name/Band: Moroccan Kings   Define your genre in five words or less: "Sexy, slutty, moist, clammy and frigid."   What do think people say you sound like? "A common phrase amongst the people is 'It wasn't as shit as I thought it was going to be'."   How long have you been gigging and writing? "'Bout four years, I think. When it comes to writing you can't get it right but you... Read More
Gary Numan

Ever since exploding as a bonafide pop superstar in 1979, Gary Numan has forged a musical career that has since left a spasmodic contrail soaring and stuttering throughout the past thirty years of musical history. After releasing a series of albums that have gone on to accumulate deep reverence as harbingers of the electro genre, the momentum stalled as Gary’s passionate fanbase of ‘Numanoids’... Read More
Kitty Flanagan : Charming And Alarming Review
0 Comments. 2,504 Views. Posted 17 Apr 2011 @ 12:01am.
Australian comedy heavyweight Kitty Flanagan is famed for her time on Full Frontal and is a Melbourne International Comedy Festival regular, having hosted this showy shindig last year. She came back in 2011 to perform her 2010 sell-out show Charming And Alarming.     She provides a bit of clever PR for her acoustic-guitar playing sister Penny, who opens and closes the show. The actual... Read More

It was 40 degrees, mid-afternoon at the Big Day Out. A crowd had gathered to watch Gareth Liddiard in the shade of the Hot Produce tent. Having released his debut solo album, Strange Tourist, a few months prior to this year’s BDO, Liddiard played a few tracks from the album, including Blondin’ Makes An Omelette, Highplains Mailman and its title track. The crowd listened intently to Liddiard’s... Read More
Single Of The Week - Snowman : Hyena
0 Comments. 2,413 Views. Posted 31 Mar 2011 @ 3:01pm.
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
Warpaint & Seja at Northcote Social Club

Ah, shit. What’s the deal with people sitting down at shows these days? I would have thought common logic would dictate to keep your junk as far away from sticky bandroom floors, lest you be heading down to the clinic for a penicillin shot the following morn – but that’s just me. That was the scenario presented as I forced to watch opening act Seja (not to be confused with the... Read More
Oh No

  Oh No aka Mike Jackson comes from quite the pedigree, the brother of Madlib and son of Otis Jackson, you can only imagine the inevitable double edged sword this comes with. When we finally get on the phone with Jackson he dispels any negative connotations this may bring, lets us into his humble studio and gives us a glimpse into the future. Comets in sector 12 are of...

Mark Sultan grew up in Montreal, the French-speaking region of Quebec. Groomed on a diet of Beatles, 'Stones and Led Zeppelin, at the tender age of 15 a friend of Sultan's introduced him to edgier bands such as The Misfits and the wonders of tape trading and mailorders. Within a short time, Sultan was playing drums in a local band "trying to inject my love of shit like Black Flag... Read More
