Straight outta Perth, I present to you the 3-piece progressive punk band named Heligan. I caught up with Heligan’s very own Miles, Sean and Josh to chat about the band’s humble beginnings (including their quirky band name), their debut single Castaways and their very bright future plans! Okay, first thing I want to ask you is about the band name. It seems like it’s a little bit quirky. and originally, when I first got your email Miles, I read it as ‘Helican’, like a pelican f

You know what! ‘Where Were You’ !? and YES that question is as confrontational and savage as it sounds, or at least this is the case with All Regards new single. This Melbourne Pop-Punk-Rock trio just released their second single last Friday, this track captures feelings of determination, growing band confidence and a little bit of experimentation with their music. Where Were You is the follow up track from All Regards debut single Trainwreck that hit airwaves (or should it b

Call the coastguards cause Snarky Snark are back with a Snark Attack! The Melbourne punk-rock trio Snark dropped their new track Pressure last week, and it could possibly be the band’s best song unleashed to date. Snark enlisted Darren of Kisschasy and Jack of Paradise Club to co-write and produce the new single. Immediately when this song kicks off, Pressure opens with some strong Slowly Slowly Race Car Blues album vibes. Besides the Slowly Slowly influenced intro, Pressure

ICYMI: South Eastern Queenslanders Mass Sky Raid released their latest cinematic single Arrows, and let me tell you this, it’s like you are being shot through the heart by 4 progressive rockers. The band describe the new track as a “lyrical journey” paired with a very scenic video clip. So, grab your backpack and snapback, and let’s take these Arrows on a Moody Music review journey. The first thing I noticed was the lyrical imagery in Arrows, it is as cinematic as the actual

What’s better than Snow White and the seven dwarfs? How about Melbourne having a metalcore band with 7 members and a Moody Music REVIEW about their new song?! Frontier Season are back with their eco-inspired track Wasteland which attacks the concept of greed and selfishness being the reason of why the planet is so f*cked up! David Attenbrough would probably approve of this track’s mission. Wasteland as a track is very interesting, it’s a journey and it takes you on an experie

Get ready for some deep chats and a little bit of dark humour, because I caught up with Bromantic Besties Ralph Brown and Jake Kershaw to chat about Without Belief, their latest song Acceptance Pt.2 The Prolonged Goodbye and their upcoming new spiteful deathcore plans. Get ready to laugh and might I add I love how many times the word mood/y is mentioned, new drinking game maybe? **SERIOUS WARNING** Dark humour is used as a coping mechanism to deal with death and grievance by

Back again reviewing more from Colour & Shade, because this Melbourne band is as golden as their new EP Hostile Grounds. With fun cover art and dynamic contrasting music style, no wonder this band is called Colour & Shade, as they melt styles from bouncy punk rock to a touch of metal in their latest work. Phoenix, Therapy and Equilibrium had previously been released off the EP as singles prior to dropping the full ‘Hostile Grounds’ EP earlier this month. But, let’s crack into

Before hitting the stage TONIGHT with their shiny new EP ‘From The Ashes’, I caught up with frontman Chris from the Melbourne Metalcore band Observist to suss out their new tunes, reasons for rebranding the band, and what to expect at their upcoming shows. Will they bring the fire? Interview on 3rd June 2021 (day before EP release date) Are you ready for some questions? So, Observist’s debut EP drops tomorrow, called From the Ashes, and you've already released Atlas and Fragm

Is it too late to jump on that Spiritbox train? What no? Great I’ll go grab my Ouija board, tarot cards and jar of salt aye, and let’s get into the Canadian trio’s new heavy but melodic track ‘Secret Garden’. Can we just please adopt these post-metalcore three? They would be absolutely perfect and kickass on an Aussie stage. As someone who is very picky about female vocalists, I was surprised by Courtney LaPlante’s pipes. Now in preparation for this review of course I’ve suss

Drastic Thinking or Wishful Park? Ship them however you like to ‘cause regardless these Aussie pop-punk bands are teaming up for an AVVC collab and a national tour! I had a chat with Carl from Wishful Thinking AND John from Drastic Park about the double release of their new singles ‘You Can’ and ‘Meltdown’ (both dropped yesterday). Plus I found out about their plans for upcoming tour shenanigans #AllBandsWillBeHeckledTheSameAmount #fuckdrasticpark #fuckwishfulthinking Interv

Why hello there, welcome to the darkside of music, dress code: all black, attitude: angry and mad at the world, and today’s track up for review is… you guessed it, IDGAF by As It Is. The 2018 as cute as a button Dial Tones vocalist, transforms into the new 2021 eyeliner wearing and black paint spewing Patty Walters in As It Is’ new emo pop rock tune and video. GENRE: emo punk rock| FFO: State Champs, Stand Atlantic, Between You & Me The UK punk rockers have returned to the sp

“It’s for people who just need a second home, and for those people to just come and find their people. BONEZ is for them” ICYMI BONEZ Alternative Queer Party feat. Future Static, The Last Martyr, Drag and Burlesque performers, Lip-syncing and emo-punk DJ’s hit the Stay Gold stage in Brunswick last friday. I popped into the BONEZ event last weekend to check out what all the hype was about and chatted to Sunny Dial, the Director of BONEZ Alternative Queer Party. As someone who

Before releasing their new EP ‘Second Hand Band’, I caught up with Stephen and Veronica from the 80’s inspired hard rock band Avalanche. The pair chatted about how the band used to rehearse in a steel factory, which of their tracks Facebook refused to let them advertise, and the wholesome family values that the band holds close to their hearts. GENRE: hard rock| FFO: AC/DC, Rose Tattoo, Wolfmother The new EP which is being released this week. It's called ‘Second Hand Band’, w

The Victorian metalcore visionaries vocalist Robbie and guitarist Jayden from Visioner recently had a chat with Jess from Moody Music about their latest track Psyche that got unleashed about 2 weeks ago. Just a warning if you scare easy, these lads talked all things Psyche including what it was like filming their music video in an abandoned insane asylum with a bunch of creepy dolls and some spirit tech inference issues (the spirit’s probably just wanted to listen to triple j

Get your motor running, because Sydney based rockers Avalanche may have just released an EP that would be the perfect soundtrack to ‘Sons Of Anarchy: Down Under’ (please note: SOA: Down Under isn’t real… yet, you might want to get onto that Kurt Sutter). Second Hand Band is the name of Avalanche’s new EP which is a fusion of 80’s pub rock and biker aesthetics. It will make you want to buy a Harley, just to ride it down a deserted highway. The EP is made up of six grunge, old

Bringing you what is possibly one of the last rays of sunshine before Jon Snow from Game Of Thrones officially announces that winter is here in Australia. Introducing … Tripsitta who are the latest modern indie rock outfit to emerge from the sunny state of Brisbane! This quartet has just released their new single Change, and I can definitely tell you that this new single brings those sunshine state surfer/ skater vibes with it. Change is no doubt indie rock, particularly when

It’s 2021, you know the year after that dreadful other year that we don’t talk about (2020: the year of staying indoors), instead I want to introduce you to the light on the horizon... the brave new world. Or should I say Beau, Dave and Duff from the Perth post-hardcore band Kastiell have joined Jess from Moody Music to shine the spotlight on their new single, Brave New World which features the one and only Dan Marsala from the band Story Of The Year. How did a bunch of dudes

Lately I’ve noticed that there has been a theme with bands and the word ‘VOID’. As an example, there’s been Void Of Vision’s recent release of their Hyperdaze (Redux) album and White Void dropping two new singles, but let me ask you this… have you listened to The Void? The Void is the debut single of Australian x Japanese metalcore band SEIRAN which dropped just a few days ago, and if you haven’t listened to it get prepared, because SEIRAN come out swinging! and by ‘swinging’

Nocturnal Animals have released their latest single Articuno Makes Waves into the great wide world along with a single launch one-off show, and despite their name, Nocturnal Animals aren’t a bunch of possums or other nighttime creatures that may spring to mind, instead, these Nocturnal Animals are three indie punk rockers from Adelaide (their nicknames might be like possum 1, 2, and 3, but this is currently unconfirmed). Articuno Makes Waves is the fifth single to come from t

ICYMI the self-proclaimed emo pop punk Sydsider weirdos, Clay J Gladstone have released their latest single Sorry in Jan, Yes I know it’s nearly March, but hold up just one second because… the boys have also just announced a handful of tour dates around Aus. Formed by what they like to call “childhood enemies” vocalist Clay J and guitarist Johnny David started the band as a way to “bury the hatchet and start a racket”, and later recruited Cole Wilkins, Kabir Naval and Omar Hu
