Deadmau5 Feat. Gerard Way : Professional Griefers
0 Comments. 497 Views. Posted 12 Sep 2012 @ 8:31am.
I’ll admit it, I’m a closet My Chemmy Ro fan. I’m also a little bit of a fiend when it comes to mainstream EDM. Therefore I was a little bit eager to cue up this team-up of My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way and outspoken producer Deadmau5. However the promise of the stabby, mechanical verses are let down by a fairly diluted chorus. A bit like a weak version of that track Bloody Beetroots... Read More
The Used : Vulnerable

A cruel critic/fan might say that The Used and My Chemical Romance are almost interchangeable. There are certainly strong similarities in sound and style between the two bands. Bert McCracken and Gerard Way employ very similar, higher-end vocal stylings. Both bands play that very theatrical, alternative pop/punky style of rock. Both appeal to a very similar fanbase. Check out Moving Out for... Read More
Gotye : Easy Way Out

  This is better. Following the thin, Motown-inspired single I Feel Better, Easy Way Out is reassuringly slick and action-packed. It’s a very different song to the international chart-storming Somebody That I Used to Know, but it’s obviously from the same febrile talent. He croons, he wails, he funks. In the video, he goes to the bathroom. Always a risk-taker, that Wally De Backer.   Read More

  Well well well. Look what we have here. A Refused reunion . For years now I’ve been hearing rumours about the substantial sums of money Coachella have been offering similar seminal bands to forget their past indiscretions and reform for the festival. Apparently with each new year the offers become more and more generous, making it harder and harder for bands to resist the urge. At The... Read More
My Chemical Romance

In November 2010, My Chemical Romance released their fourth album, Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys . Each album prior was dark and emotional, and whether you buy into it or not, the band were one of the pioneers of 'emo' for their generation. When Danger Days was released, the music world received a shock: the foursome ditched the eyeliner and songs... Read More
Shade of March : Way to Keep Warm
0 Comments. 834 Views. Posted 8 Dec 2011 @ 3:43pm.
  David Gagliardi (ex-Laura) has written a very intense tune about emotional collapse, in which the songwriter is laid bare, both literally and figuratively. Musically, Way To Keep Warm is a slow brew of piano and plucked guitar notes, careful layers that are subtle and atmospheric, particularly in contrast to David’s naked, keening voice. Read More
The Book of the Dead and Wounded

A poetry book of prose, Alicia Bee’s The Book of the Dead and Wounded celebrates the lives of the deceased.  This second collection of her writings, Alicia’s poetry captures the limbo left from the grief and funerary process of losing loved ones, which the writer likens to an injured state in a hospital.   It’s deep, it’s emotional, it’s a non-orthodox way of expressing death, and the...

Well it's been some time since I've been this impressed by a Big Day Out lineup. Just when I'd resigned myself to abandoning the festival after too many afternoons spent sunburned, scrambling for shade and the unending indignity that is paying $5 for water, it may actually lure me back next year.  The festival has announced massive drawcards that include Kanye West, Soundgarden, Battles,...

The Living End : The End Is Just The Beginning Repeating

The Living End marshal every cliché of our collective existential crisis (I think I’m the dead-eyed office worker, you may be the model citizen or the “restless and bored”) and bang them all together in this epic emo charger, which has all the urgency of a coming apocalypse and all the heroic optimism of an X-Men movie. My Chemical Romance and 30 Seconds To Mars would be awful proud. Read More
Young Guns : All Our Kings Are Dead

  When British alt-rock five-piece Young Guns released their debut album All Our Kings Are Dead in the UK last year, it peaked at number 43 on the UK albums chart and the band subsequently got nabbed to support the likes of Bon Jovi and Lostprophets. Now, they’re on their way to Australia to play at Soundwave Revolution (Soundwave’s spin-off festival), in September.   For a taste of... Read More
You And Me At Six : Stay With Me

You And Me At Six, like Birds Of Tokyo, are one of those bands that I really know nothing about despite reading their band name five hundred times a year. Their single goes a long way to explaining this black spot. They play the exact same kind of epic emo rock that makes Birds Of Tokyo’s heavier take consistently forgettable for me. Stay With Me is from their second album, Hold Me Down,... Read More
My Chemical Romance : Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys

Wow. Just wow. My Chemical Romance have changed. Happily, it’s absolutely for the better. Across their last two albums they’ve morphed from a slightly whiny emo-ish band (although, they were one of the better quality slightly whiny emo-ish bands around) into a full blown art-rock band. And it suits them to a tee.   Whether you love concept albums or hate them, it... Read More
