LIVE REVIEW: Iowa @ Fbi Social, Kings Cross Hotel, Sydney (16/08/12)

  by C. Familton Narrow Lands were the first of the four guitar-heavy bands to grace the stage and they impressed with their aggressive, controlled playing that inhabits the dark and heavy end of post-rock. The bass-led Waste of Weekend in particular balanced groove and dissonance to great effect. Lyyar also deal in grand guitar dynamics but theirs was a much more nuanced and textured … Continue reading LIVE REVIEW: Iowa @ Fbi Social, Kings Cross Hotel, Sydney (16/08/12)

LIVE REVIEW: Django Django, The Cast of Cheers @ OAF, Sydney (01/08/12)

by C. Familton Fresh from a weekend of Splendour, both of tonight’s bands were in town to play sideshows and build on the justified hype of their debut albums. The Cast of Cheers were in support yet they showed no signs of just being there to warm up the sold out audience.

ALBUM REVIEW: Daughn Gibson | All Hell

by C. Familton Pennsylvania native Daughn Gibson is a new artist who has seemingly appeared fully formed out of nowhere. The most unique thing about his debut album is the way it morphs between different styles, often quite different realms such as country and soulful electronica but it somehow all hangs together wonderfully and as a result Gibson paints himself as a fascinating chameleon-like musician. … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Daughn Gibson | All Hell
