(T-T)b – Bug on the Ceiling
You’re favourite band is hanging out in the basement. The band members are complaining and fighting with each other. They’re breaking the band up. Not many people even bothered to see them. That’s not a Dickensian fantasy of work in…

HÜGGE – True Love
HÜGGE sounds like Kings of Leon do after a few too many pints of hometown moonshine. Sadly, those are recordings that we’ll never hear on account of the American band being too cheap to splurge on an engineer to track their barn rehearsals. But…

March 21, 2025
Don’t mean to disturb your stressful day. But have you ever wondered where this world is heading? Used to be that you could ignore these questions. Used to be that enough thrills, a sense of purpose and maybe even a good night’s sleep were enough to turn it…

Red On White – North Geelong
Like a kiss or a punch to the head, rock n’ roll is the kind of thing that either you feel deeply, or it never happened. Don’t let anyone fool you by telling you about how they’re trying to quote 80s dance music or approximate the…

The Number 9s – Ta Skata
Nothing’s going to stop your favourite song from swinging, grooving, and dancing itself toward freedom. It’s just that…you’d love to be able to feel the same way every day. You’d also like to be able to get stuck inside that…
