The Underground Stage
“Verticoli are back in Sydney tonight from Tassie and – once again – bring their inhumanly large noise with them, something we can only assume was missed by customs. Quite how our border guards missed it is a mystery, this noise is the size of a landslide, boulders of granite smashing entire regions flat as […]
“GRXCE have appeared on Sydney’s stages like a new star achieving fusion, and it’s as bright and as inspirational as a new light in a black sky. This is guitar-driven pop with enough weight to twitch the deadest of toes, rich and hefty. Look to the skies – something’s burning out there.” Gallery Learn More […]
“Beautiful Stink are on the rails but not in control, a giant locomotive made of fire and explosions, Soundgarden t-shirts on the driver and Pearl Jam on the stereo. It’s coming straight for you, and there’s no avoiding it.” Gallery Learn More Instagram
“Oslow are back, like prodigals. And thus we enter the chat – when bands come back after an extended break, are they still any good? Do they retain the same energy of old? Are they, at their core, still up to it? Long questions, with short answers – yes, yes, and yes. They may be […]
“So good to see Totty back on a stage, with that giant-sized guitar fuelling their twin motors of whimsy and mayhem. As always, it’s delicate and fractured in one moment, then it’s tearing the roof off the building in the next. The new material is a lit fuse, get ready.” Gallery Learn More Facebook | […]
“Amends are a drug I can’t, and frankly won’t, kick. I’ll keep spiking my veins with these songs, soaring stories of dust and ghosts and violence and loss and glory, and I’ll keep spiking them into me until there’s nothing left of me but one vein and these songs. I will never not get high […]
“Hedy Blaazer make unusual noises in all the best ways. If it was a house, there wouldn’t be a right-angle in the whole place, but it’d be the most fascinating thing you’ve ever seen constructed. It’s well off the beaten track, but these are tracks worth hunting down and following to their glorious, unexpected conclusions.” […]
“Nothing does enthusiasm and tail-wagging mania than youth, but the passing of years can give a heft and density that the kids just can’t match. Jamie Hay’s musical pedigree stretches back far and wide, and it stands tall and strong as he drops songs both old and new today. Look to your elders, kids – […]
“Vetty Vials’ luxurious songs are a balm, something to soothe the wounds that the songs lyrics themselves describe. In full band mode there’s as much pop as punk, but solo, this is something rich and warm to cocoon yourself in, to not come out of until you’re absolutely certain that the noise outside has stopped […]
