THOUGHTS UNDER FIRE

The electro-hardcore wave has taken the Australian alternative music scene by storm, finding many of us captivated by the awesome combination of throat tearing screams, earth trembling breakdowns and melodic synth. Two years and about 50 Australian electro-hardcore/metal/experimental bands later, there’s no doubt the wave has reached a plateau where the excitement and originality now leaves this relatively new genre somewhat bland and predictable. Luckily, every so often a band comes along to reignite the burnt out wick.

KELSO IMAGES

Based in Brisbane and need a photographer? Keep our close mate Kelso in mind. Back in August 09 Kelso rocked up to a show we threw on the Gold Coast and asked if I wanted photos taken. To which I said … “Arghhhh, how much do you want?!” To which he replied “Nothing”.
Since then he’s helped us help bands by taking gig photos, lent a hand at our shows, provided us and many fresh local bands with great industry knowledge…

Facepalm A Piñata

Bursting forth in a myriad of sounds both digital and somewhat unholy comes the newest kids on the block FACEPALM A PINATA (FAP for short). Leading this quarrelsome quintet is the amiable Kieran Childs vocalising his somewhat unique style of lyrical genius (or dare I say insanity), but this isn’t about a single man, or woman in the drummers case, but simply as a unique insight into the bands rhetoric and make-up.
These guys, and girl, are revolutionising the hardcore scene…

THE AMITY AFFLICITION’S NEW ALBUM!

Brisbane hardcore legends, The Amity Affliction are back with what many perceive to be the most highly anticipated Australian album of its genre this year. With only days remaining before it hits all major and minor music stores around the country, many can rest assured that Amity will not disappoint; having already released their first track from the sophomore album, “I Hate Hartley”. Which has been cleverly grafted to facebook and twitter meaning you can only download the track after…

INTO THE OCEAN

Into The Ocean have become synonymous in the hardcore/alternative Australian music industry, from earlier days playing to crowds of 20 to 30 Toowoomba residents to supporting bands like Misery Signals, The Amity Affliction and even Closure In Moscow in sold out shows.
Creating solid recordings such as Ruins, their debut highly commended EP, ITO will “cut your red hearts like they were strings” leaving you mesmerised by the sheer energy and soul they inject into their unique sound. Listen out for…

PANDA! PANDA! PANDA!

I’ve come to love my saying “Sad as a panda without bamboo” but in this case these guys have had PLENTY of bamboo! This is yet another amazing band to come from the coast of Sunshine. Panda! Panda! Panda! Deliver an original and quirky culmination of psychedelic electronica and progressive metal that will even have bands like HORSE THE BAND and ROLO TOMASSI saying “What thaaaa???”
Enter the world of keyboard warrior lunacy and head bangin’ jive that is PANDA! PANDA!…
