  Phew! Everyone recover from Soundwave? Catch any sidewaves? I saw Trivium and Slipknot at Rod Laver, and Meshuggah and Devin Townsend at the Forum. Fucking amazing. And check out  my Soundwave review here. What were your highlights? Who did you see that I didn't? Spewing that I had to miss Cathedral, Kvelertak and Gojira.

Elbow

  Elbow’s last album was the first album they made knowing it was actually going to be released. For a band with more critical acclaim and underground praise than Doves, Embrace and Athlete, roped together with a copy of NME and a Brit Award and the knot-tying of the entire BBC, this Manchester fivesome have spent twenty years deserving some goddamn recognition. “We’ve come a long way, but...

Megafaun : Megafaun

You may remember the North Carolina trio for their 2009 sleeper hit Gather, Form & Fly, but they're better recognised as Bon Iver's old bandmates; back when he was just Justin Vernon, and they were collectively De Yarmond Edison. It would seem that time has healed the wounds that led to their separation as Megafaun recorded their latest eponymous effort at Vernon's home studio in... Read More

With their sixth studio album due out through Warner in July, Portland-based psych-rock outfit Portugal The Man are ready to launch in the Antipodes. Got It All is their first local single and it’s a swell introduction. You can swim in the layers of this lush, exploding single or singalong with the subtly infectious vocal melody. Like Dr Dog, it’s psych rock with a warm heart; a vivid and joyful... Read More

Pnau : The Truth

PNAU launch their fourth studio album with this blissful single, taking dance rock to the nth degree of synth hysteria. Pleasantly, amidst the perennially exploding sparkles and pulses, and the mid-tempo disco beats, the lyrics are a bit of a downer: “Said you were confused, you fake and you fake, I thought you were the truth.” It ain’t Shakespeare, but these heartbroken...

The Rapture

I had been drinking heavily at a BBQ before heading to The Corner, so I’m surprised I didn’t enjoy the support band on alcohol-fuelled excitement alone. Strange Talk were a talented group but offered nothing original, and I know this because of the notes I left on my phone, which included “Is this a Phoenix cover-band?” and “I think the lead singer is having a...
