dEUS : Keep You Close
0 Comments. 534 Views. Posted 30 Apr 2012 @ 9:17am.
  The name literally means ‘God’. They are not yet so deified but are they bigger than Jesus? In Belgium at least they could well be. They are the biggest band in the land. So big in fact, that other pretenders to the throne such as Dead Man Ray or Zita Swoon feature past or present members of dEUS. On the eve of their first Australian tour, Keep You Close is timely. At least to Australian... Read More
The Jezabels : Prisoner
0 Comments. 2,535 Views. Posted 19 Oct 2011 @ 9:13am.
There's always been a brooding, and at times overstated, intensity to The Jezabels, but it's this very trait that has endeared them to adoring fans both at home and abroad while also separating the Sydney quartet from their peers - simply put, there are currently few bands that do emotional alt-rock better than this impassioned group. The Jezabels have truly honed their penchant for the epic,... Read More

There's much more than meets the ear going on here. This is no simple, production-line metalcore album. Nightmare is a varied musical journey.There are certainly metalcore-esque moments. And sure, the presence of former Dream Theater skin basher Mike Portnoy certainly helps matters a great deal. But Avenged Sevenfold have crafted something pretty special on this record. The title track, whilst... Read More
Kins : Dancing Back And Forth, Covered In Whipped Cream

Alexander Gow and Thomas Savage are both talented but palpably distinct singer-songwriters. It was no surprise, then, that this would underpin Savage's decision to depart Oh Mercy for his own creation, Kins. Whereas Gow writes with an unabashedly romantic, personal and candid fervour, Savage's style is more metaphorical/abstract, observational and inquisitive (Savage wrote Met A Wizard on Oh... Read More

Summer: The sun is shining, the beers are cold, the beach is calling and there's usually one iconic album that's of 'the moment', and on permanent repeat. MGMT's Oracular Spectacular was one that immediately springs to recent mind and upon hearing certain songs now, instantly conjures up memories of festivals, road trips and other summer-fun stuff from that particular period.   This year,...

Lia Ices : Grown Unknown

For the follow-up to her debut album Necima, Lia Ices fled the borough of Brooklyn to record in a secluded cabin in snowy Vermont. It's a similar rite of passage taken by label-mate Justin Vernon (aka Bon Iver) when he recorded his breakthrough album For Emma, Forever Ago. Going by the quality of both of these albums, it's clearly a winning formula. Vernon himself crops up as a guest on Grown... Read More
