  What started out as jamming in the family shed soon turned into something extraordinary for Stonefield. Coming from a tiny rural town just north of Melbourne, the four Findlay sisters – Amy, Hannah, Sarah and Holly, were just coming to the end of recording their first EP, Through The Clover, when their mum mentioned that they should apply for triple j’s Unearthed competition. Apprehensive... Read More

There seems to be some serious confusion about what constitutes 'garage' rock these days.   Let’s take a step back and try not to associate the term 'garage' with the idea that a band is confined to a place we store cars because that’s the only venue which will suit their lack of talent. Instead, why not think about 'garage' bands for what they really are: bands with charisma, punchy tracks... Read More

Pacing fervently around the Flemington Racecourse, soon to be home to this year’s Big Day Out with founder Ken West, it’s near impossible not to be swept up within the whirlwind of the festival's astonishingly rich history. Since its inception as a Sydney-only festival in 1992 the self-professed ‘travelling circus’ rapidly evolved into a nationwide extravaganza, underpinned by its devoted and... Read More

60 Seconds With... The Lockhearts

So then, what's the band name and what do you 'do' in the band?   We're called The Lockhearts from Sydney, NSW. I'm Tim, you'll see me on vocals and guitar.     Bearing the terrible clichéd nature of this question, what do you reckon people will say you sound like ?   Our sound is rooted in classic rock, but with a modern edge, we draw influence from a lot of '70s and '80s...

Wavves : Life Sux
0 Comments. 1,410 Views. Posted 11 Oct 2011 @ 8:38am.
Life's pretty fucking sweet for Nathan Williams. Prematurely thrust into the spotlight after generating buzz through the brilliantly overblown home recordings of Wavves and Wavvves, it seemed like it had all had come to an explosive end after an MDMA-fuelled onstage meltdown. To his credit, Wavves bounced back, and recruited bandmates from the infinitely more tragic Jay Reatard -... Read More

Biffy Clyro : Revolutions//Live At Wembley
0 Comments. 1,778 Views. Posted 16 Aug 2011 @ 12:07pm.
It's easy to imagine rock titans like Foo Fighters and Muse selling out Wembley Stadium, but it's a considerably impressive mark of their boon in popularity that the Scottish misfits, who were the support act for both, have achieved the same feat. But Biffy Clyro have always had muscular tunes aplenty, they rock with the enthusiasm you'd expect from three topless, bearded men born and raised on... Read More

The Wombats

When the Wombats decided on their band name, they didn’t even know what a wombat was; they just needed a name to put on a poster. But, with fame and success comes knowledge and one of the Liverpudlian three-piece’s drummer Dan Haggis’ proudest moments in his career is when he held a baby wombat at a photo shoot for an Adelaide newspaper. However, the release of their sophomore album This Modern... Read More

It was the feet that gave out first. Watching the secret Foo Fighters gig at Sydney’s Goat Island, their first set on Australian shores since 2008, my soles were starting to get real sore. It was then that I realised day had turned into night, and the band were still relentlessly powering along. Somewhere down the line, a small promo set had mutated into a monster three-hour marathon. “Three... Read More

Perth's Trigger Jackets peddle a fierce brand of rolling stoner rock. The production is crisp on their latest EP, allowing three expertly crafted tracks to shine.

Maybe it was the endless press releases that stated that she was the daughter of Ravi Shankur before they mentioned her own talents – or maybe she was always a maverick; either way – ever since Norah Jones nestled into the public consciousness with Come Away With Me, she’s refused to follow a stereotypical career path. While her ubiquitous 2002 debut had her pegged as a... Read More
