VIDEO: Bed Wettin’ Bad Boys | Any Day Now

Many thought they’d never amount to anything but Sydney’s Bed Wettin’ Bad Boys have gone and recorded one of the best albums we’ve heard so far this year. Ready For Boredom hits the mark with it’s Television/Replacements take on suburban punk that bristles with dissent while still possessing a streak of bitter melancholia amid the spiraling riffs and pseudo solos, sandpaper vocals and rock solid … Continue reading VIDEO: Bed Wettin’ Bad Boys | Any Day Now

Forces are a Melbourne duo who have been refining their 80s influenced industrial synth sound, playing a bunch of shows and some sweet international supports such as Zola Jesus in the last year or two. Overland (In My Mind) comes from their debut 12″ EP on Siberia Records and it caused a cavalcade of flashbacks to my 80s youth listening to the likes of Depeche Mode, … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Forces | Overland (In My Mind)

NEW MUSIC: Bearhug | Fireworks

Sydney band Bearhug have a new EP Over Easy on the horizon and they’ve set free the first song from it – Fireworks. It jangles, shimmies, chops and swings with a sweet haze and towards the end they drop a late night groove to bring it all home. I’ve only caught the band live once when they supported Lawrence Arabia but they impressed. Keep a … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Bearhug | Fireworks

Melbourne musician Suzie Stapleton has only just come onto our radar but it only took 30 seconds of the first song we heard to get drawn into her dark and moody sound that equally draws on gothic blues and swamp rock, mixing it all up in a contemporary rock miasma. The thing that anchors it all is her jaw dropping voice with its rich and … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Suzie Stapleton | Obladi Diablo
