LUKE SEYMOUP: Maple Road | REVIEW MOODY MUSIC

Just in time for road-trip season, Indie-Punk vocalist Luke Seymoup and The Moup Group have released a new upbeat tune called Maple Road. The song centers on the story of Luke and fellow musician Joe Guiton getting lost on the Aussie Roads back in 2015. The colourful chorus compares the situation to ‘how horror movies start’. Thank goodness they didn’t come across Mick Taylor on the roads YIKES! #wolfcreek. In addition to The Seymoup band’s previous single Serengetti being wr

THE LAST MARTYR: Purgatory EP | Review

ICYMI The Last Martyr released the EP of your dreams! WOW! I mean what can I tell you about the Purgatory EP… it's diverse and fluctuates between thrashing metalcore and post- pop hardcore (I think TLM possibly created a new genre?). Listening from start to end is a must, as it finishes exactly how I wanted, filling that gap of what would extend The Last Martyr's style. These forward thinkers are oh so satisfying! Okay, before we get into the scary witchcraft of The Last Mart

DRASTIC PARK: Lost | REVIEW MOODY MUSIC

Drastic Park have gotten drastically darker with their latest track Lost. The Melb punk trio are well known for their light hearted banter in their music, such as including the Wizard of Oz Witch cackle in Meltdown and covering The Saddle Club for charity. Lost is a much deeper song with a touch of existential crisis, shall we review this work of art? For those of you who do not know my moody music process of reviewing songs/eps/ albums, I generally listen to the piece a few
