ALBUM REVIEW: Queens of the Stone Age | …Like Clockwork

By Chris Familton Just over a decade after their defining and most successful album Songs For Deaf, Josh Homme and gang return with their sixth studio record in the highly anticipated …Like Clockwork. Since that 2002 peak the band have increasingly explored darker, more eclectic musical territory and while much of it was brave, genre defying and often fascinating there was always the nagging question … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Queens of the Stone Age | …Like Clockwork

ALBUM REVIEW: Fat Freddy’s Drop | Blackbird

by Chris Familton Fat Freddy’s Drop don’t rush things with this only their third full length album in 14 years (excluding a pair of live albums). That steady approach is also one of the defining aspects of their sound and their propensity for slowly evolving electronic, soul, dub and funk workouts that equally nurture listener’s limbs and ears. Blackbird is without doubt their most cohesive … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Fat Freddy’s Drop | Blackbird

WATCH: Mark Moldre | Where Will I Be?

Mark Moldre has released the second single from his recent sophomore solo album An Ear To The Earth and it is accompanied by a very cool black & white clip steeped in gallows humour and a distinct old-Australia rural feel. I love the gang backing vocals on Where Will I Be?, make sure you check out the rest of the album (listen and buy on … Continue reading WATCH: Mark Moldre | Where Will I Be?

NEW MUSIC: Greta Mob | The Petite Bourgeois Blues

Slowly but surely it feels like rock n roll of the good kind is seeping back into the Sydney scene. Greta Mob are set to be one of the key players if the rest of their songs are as good as this bleeding, drunken stagger of a song. It conjures up images of Finn Andrews of The Veils jamming with The Drones. Good stuff then… … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Greta Mob | The Petite Bourgeois Blues

ALBUM REVIEW: Depeche Mode | Delta Machine

by Chris Familton Depeche Mode have had a wonderful evolution and trajectory from their early lightweight disposable pop through the departure of Vince Clarke and Martin Gore’s rapid mastery of the fast changing technology in 80s music, to their peak as masters of psycho-sexual electronic pop music that finely balanced raw emotion and a self-constructed paradigm of art pop and futuristic rock n roll. Post … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Depeche Mode | Delta Machine

ALBUM REVIEW: Palma Violets | 180

by Chris Familton Palma Violets fight a gallant fight and show flashes of exciting talent but ultimately this feels like a band trading on raw energy and still finding their songwriting feet. 180 is one of those albums that comes laden with tabloid music press hype so it was always going to be hard to live up to those constructed expectations, especially on one’s debut … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Palma Violets | 180

NEW MUSIC: Beaches | Send Them Away

Melbourne quartet Beaches return with their second album She Beats, out May 3rd on the ever excellent Chapter Music label. Their debut was a brilliant mix of bittersweet psychedelic rock woth shades of krautrock and jangly guitar pop. They’ve refined that mix even further on their new single Send Them Away which sounds very reminiscent of New Zealand’s The Bats. I’m really looking forward to … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Beaches | Send Them Away

NEW MUSIC: The Murlocs | Rattle The Chain

I caught these guys playing at the Nuggets event at the Sydney Town Hall during the Sydney Festival earlier this year and I was damn impressed with The Murlocs’ bluesy take on garage rock. It was white hot, ramshackle RnB soaked rock n roll and they seem to have bottled some of the essence of that sound on their new single Rattle The Chain. It … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: The Murlocs | Rattle The Chain

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
