Define your genre in five words or less: Alternative Rock.   Bearing the terrible clichéd nature of this question, what do you reckon people will say you sound like? Like we’ve just stepped out of the '90s, but we just love playing the style of music that we grew up listening to. Our style has a new spin on it. Grunge isn’t dead, it’s been in a coma and we’ve woken it up, whether it wants... Read More
Dirt Farmer : Dirt Farmer

Dirt is sorely underappreciated as a critical ingredient in nature. Without it, the entire food chain, and the survival of humanity would be at risk. Plants grow in dirt, dirt houses bacteria that are fundamental to the inter-dependencies of the biosphere, dirt holds stuff in the ground. Dirt is good, man.   And Dirt Farmer’s self-titled debut EP is even better. You can take a track like... Read More

When a genre has a resurgence, as 70s rock‘n’roll has of late, suddenly bands spring up all over the place waving the flag, and it can become a battle to sift through the debris to find a genuine article. Magic Bones, however, leave the mediocre bands in the dust­, because at the core of their retro rock‘n’roll sound are quality songs. Their self-titled debut EP is lean and muscular in... Read More

  Define your genre in five words or less: Mez: Muddy – water – blues – sexy – rock.   Bearing the terrible clichéd nature of this question, what do you reckon people will say you sound like? Mez: We get told late '80s early '80s rock, Nirvana gets thrown around a bit, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Rage Against The Machine. People say we have our own sound, but we definitely have...

  Berserker like a Fox Aussie metallers BerserkerfoX release a new EP, New World Murder (love the title) on March 11. A single called Digging Your Own Grave is available now and it's kickass – screamed vocals, low-ass guitars, huge Iron Maiden-type guitar harmonies, and more tempo shifts than an Iggor Cavalera fever dream before kicking into an atmospheric, creepy, partly-acoustic breakdown...

I, a Man : You’re Boring Us All
0 Comments. 1,951 Views. Posted 16 Feb 2012 @ 9:35am.
  It seems that many fresh, young bands these days tout the 'synths are the new guitar' philosophy, with banks of keys, loops, pads, laptops, electronic anythings replacing the familiar sound of the six-string. Not so the curiously-named Melbourne outfit I, a Man.   Following a half-year on from their promising debut EP, You’re Boring Us All further develops their reputation for... Read More
Scaramouche

  It’s been said that absence makes the heart grow fonder. Yet this isn’t the case for Scaramouche, the Melbourne via Canberra five-piece act. Known for their propulsive rhythms and old-school, classic rock-influenced mentality, Scaramouche is remarkably content in their new surroundings. “It was the music scene that brought us here,” says drummer John Milton, on the line from his...

Back with their second EP since the quietly celebrated debut Distance Is a Gun, Melbourne three-piece Celadore offer up another slice of melodic pop-rock mastery with The Bright and Blue.   While the opening bars of Bakery may bear the markings of many distinctly average pop-punk outfits that have come before, by the end of the track its clear there's a little more going on...

Having met at work, Alexa Nania and Maddie Acosta were both aware of each other's musical talents yet it wasn't until they were coerced into playing together at a wedding that The Modern Age was born. From there the two young musicians began writing songs and playing shows wherever they could, eventually adding two more members along the way and expanding into the band they are today. Their...

It’s been pretty nice going for Perth-cum-Melbourne DJ/producer J.Nitrous (James Burchett) whose debut EP Fighting Gravity last month climbed the Beatport Top 50 charts and earned him a support slot with his personal idol SPL at this weekend’s All City Bass night. And you can bet there’s plenty more where that came from. “Having my first solo EP come out last month was pretty amazing – but then... Read More

Hullo Alexis. What's your role here, then? Lead singer/songwriter/guitarist.   Splendid. And what do you sound like? Traces of Joni Mitchell, Ani Di Franco, Tracy Chapman… but there's personal gypsy-folk/ alternative flavour that comes from creating songs as kid based on Michael Jackson, Mum's Ella jazz records, my brother's rap and sister's opera/folk.   What do you love about...

Since exploding onto the scene into 2009, the band have tantalised many an audience with glimpses of their pop prowess. At last, their potential has been committed to disc, the results proving impressive... Read More
