Adelaide based rockers City Riots caused a stir supporting Cobra Starship and The Academy Is… on their nation-wide tour 2 weeks ago. Ricky Kradolfer (Vocals, Guitars), Dan Kradolfer (Drums) John De Michele (Bass, Vocals) and Matt Stadler (Organ, Synth) have gone from being a small band who were lucky to play three shows a year [...]
The Distraction happen to be one of my personal favorite bands. They’re a little known unsigned band from the town of Poughkeepsie, New York (made famous by the band Strata, whom The Distraction have opened for). I have been privileged enough to see them twice. The first time was when I saw them open for [...]
Decemberunderground is the latest album release from alternative rock band AFI. A fitting title considering they disappeared off the radar for three years to make it. From their East Bay Hardcore punk rock roots, the band has transformed from angry teens screaming “I wanna get a Mohawk but my mum wont let me get one” [...]
*blows in category* *dust flies out* Been a while since I posted in playlist. High time I actually used it. Oh no! I’m breaking the 4th wall! :( I’ve been listening to a lot of folk records lately. Mostly because of a little act called the mountain goats. And it’s high time I did a [...]
For the last week I have been listening to Lara Stephen’s new album, Up In The Air, almost constantly. Maybe it’s the Winter blues, but this album absolutely matches my mood at the moment. Up In The Air is a melloncollie album, it mixes a variety of styles and the whole album can’t be put [...]
I’ve been up so many goddamn nights in a row working late recently it seems I spend much more time infront of the computer working than I spend living a real life. One reason I haven’t minded working like an absolute dog recently is Wolfmother. Their debut album rocks the 70′s metal style so much. [...]
Hey kids, just a reminder, that if you are interested in getting your music written about and covered here, just bung me an email on info at ausmusician dot com and I’d be more than happy to have a listen to ya stuff and point folks in your general direction if you have a website. [...]
How appropriate that I should meet Winston from the Winston Giles Orchestra sitting in the sunshine drinking wine. So much sunshine and so much wine… I’m surprised that I was even able to speak in any form of coherence at all – maybe Winston was just giving me a CD to fend me off. I [...]
A mate of mine handed me a copy of this, and said give it a listen. “It’s a locab dub and reggae outfit, you should check em out, they’re mental” And ye verily he was right these guys are mental. I simply cannot wait to hear more of their stuff, its abosolutely solid. The High [...]
Firstly, I’d like to apologize to the Winston Giles Orchestra for leaving their CD in the bottom of my backpack collecting skunge and general bottom of backpack muck. Luckily it cleaned up a treat. (Or that the very least, well enough so that the cd still works.) Yeah, so if you get a copy that’s [...]
