  On their website, Falloe, a five-piece rugged blues/folk band describe their music as such that it takes listeners on a journey into “The hearts and minds of lovers, dreamers, drunkards, demons and everyday no-bodies and no-hopers.” Not exactly the kind of stuff you’d want to spin on a sunny Saturday afternoon, but to dig deeper, listeners have recently discovered an entirely genuine and...

Splicing, dividing, subtracting... then adding, multiplying and generally cooking up one big mix of sounds is what Japanese experimentalists Boris do best. A case in point being all three of the band’s brand new albums – Attention Please, Heavy Rocks and New Album – each record intertwining with one another to create one of the most interesting trilogies in music of late. Just call it “extreme... Read More

  KUNVUK Call Limp Bizkit Out So get this: the other day Limp Bizkit announced that they're working on, and I quote, the "heaviest, most crazy metal record of all time." Well Sydney-based metallers KUNVUK aren't gonna let them get away with such an absurd statement. "The audacity of a band like Limp Bizkit to make such an absurd statement is almost incomprehensible," they said. "It’s the... Read More

  So I’ve gotta say, Melbourne Soundwave was an absolute delight this year. Possibly because I employed my new festival technique of ensuring I arrive in the afternoon, showered, well slept and extremely caffeinated. It’s seriously worth missing half a day of bands when you get to arrive refreshed and not looking like a sunburnt mud-dwelling goblin from hell. As usually I felt like I was... Read More

Australia is well known for breeding kickarse guitarists. Angus Young, Tommy Emmanuel, Brett Garsed….Tim McMillan is up there with the best of them. This dude combines the melodicism of Jeff Buckley with the eclecticism of Frank Zappa, the harmonic creativity of Devin Townsend and the technique of your Stanley Jordans and Chris Brodericks. McMillan is about to release his latest album, Angel... Read More
Leonard Cohen : The Darkness

Old smoky throat has a new album out on February 3 called Old Ideas, his first new record in eight years. The lead single is slinky and jazzy – maybe a little too jazzy, to be honest, but let’s forgive him his geriatric foibles and bathe in the still shiver-inducing romantic decay that he weaves with his words: “I caught the darkness / It was drinking from your cup / I said is this contagious...

Not sure if you guys are as disenfranchised as I am about the current state of Australia Day, but rather than looking forward to a public holiday with the usual thirst, it's become a holiday that I'd rather forget. I keep seeing peers, our own mates, neighbours, members of our generation totally misrepresenting their adoration of their homeland with sentiments like 'fuck off we're full'. By... Read More

Name: Xero, vocalist for Dropbunny.   Define your genre in five words or less: Dark, experimental metal.   So, someone is walking past as you guys are playing, they then go get a beer and tell their friend about you... what do they say? They slam down a double-shot of whiskey before sculling a pint, waving at the bartender for a second one. They open their mouths to explain to a... Read More

The Roots : Make My

Jimmy Fallon’s house band is a band? Just kidding. The Roots have a new album due out in December, and this cappuccino smoothie is the lead single. It’s cool, as far as laid back R’n’B goes, shimmering and snapping at an unhurried pace, with Questlove and Malik delivering relaxed rhymes that roll out slowly over the beats. Read More

It was probably about 15 years ago that Ciecmate was hanging out with mates while having a few drinks. One of his boys had a rap book - a book of rhymes. He explains, "We were all messing around with graffiti and stuff but I was immediately taken aback. I got my own book of rhymes and got some cash together and bought basically the worst equipment I could buy! I had this crappy Boss drum machine... Read More

Soundwave are indeed still proving themselves to be the most fancy free, unconventional festival on the circuit this week by moving their second announcement, originally schedule for December to this week. And, as has been the case with all previous festivals they have already started revealing cancellations, just a week after the lineup was confirmed.  AJ Maddah has again, spoken... Read More

I'm all for artistic freedom and allowing bands to ebb and morph and shrink and flower into whatever mysterious being they want to become. People enjoy placing restrictions on music. On what bands should do and how they should sound.  Whenever my favourite bands (somewhat inevitably) dissipate into a sound I no longer like, I usually find it within myself to let them go...

It happens to the best of us – those pesky nerves come creeping up and before you know it you’re feeling a bit of a knot in your belly… Well, according to Jericco frontman Brent McCormick there’s a solution to the problem, and it’s a pretty simple affirmation to remember: “I just remind myself that this is what I was born to do!” Easy-peasy, then. “We’ve just done a massive tour with Dead Letter...

Ever wondered what inspires …And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead's Jason Reece and Conrad Keely? You may be surprised, because according to vocalist/guitarist/drummer Reece, on album number seven it's just as much world affairs as it is Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga and Brad Pitt. "Just joking," Reece laughs… But is he? "Yeah, sure, why not," he changes his mind. "They're everywhere, you can'... Read More
