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

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

Punk rock and robots honestly what more could you want?! Sydneysiders Father Deer Hands have just dropped their latest hit Factory Reset, and we are going to review it! REVIEWING ALL OF IT! The song and the quirky music video about a little robot (not so little, more like people sized) and it’s really tough struggle of a day (I bet it was a Monday, ooft they always suck!) First reactions were that the music video for Factory Reset visually gave me immediate As It Is vibes wit

Melbourne based alt rockers Colour & Shade are back baby with their first single of 2021. Equilibrium is the band’s new track that draws focus on the topic of the “world craving equality”, and you can definitely make this connection with the lyrics and sound of this new tune. Colour & Shade have said that the song Equilibrium “was made to help spread that message and show that people deserve to be respected and feel that they belong”, and this song no doubt empasses that soci

Ahead of dropping their first single in 18 months, vocalist Monica and drummer boy Vin shared all things The Last Martyr related including whether this Melbourne heavy band rehearses with telepathic powers, the new song and upcoming inception-y music video for Hindsight, and how they’ve recorded an EP with the assistance of zoom calls and a studio filled with Chris Lalic of Windwaker. Where does the name ‘The Last Martyr’ come from and how did you all meet? MONICA: When the b

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.

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

When your biggest fear is worrying that the band will get arrested because the drums are too loud… just in case you needed a little bit more context, the other day I caught up with Sean and Lachlan from NSW hardcore band Through It All. The lads chatted about the band, Sean’s military background influencing their new song, the risky filming of the ‘Peace Keeper’ music video, and what to expect and their FIRST EVER GIG coming up in Wollongong (Kublai Khan TX fans might want to
