“The Great Awake play their first show in a year, but since they’re among friends, they’re really good, and they’re playing to a bunch of pretty drunken goons, they sound as fresh as a valley full of daisies. We get old stuff, covers, and a few new ones for good measure but they remian – […]

Blake Cateris @ LazyBones Lounge, 30th Jun
“Blake Cateris is a scalpel, a precision weapon – high notes are hit, chords are firmly planted, the melodies strut up and down the scales like they own the bloody place. Despite the unerring accuracy there’s still bags and bags of unbridled fizz and enthusiasm, scientific targeting smashing into artistic explosion. Turns out that’s just […]

If you want perfectly executed, tuneful, archly smart punk rock done in a way that’ll leave your ankles incurably twitchy AND you want to hear the most accurate harmonies performed with both anger and […]

Birthday Raven @ Frankie’s, 26th Jun
“Birthday Raven make the sort of noise that would likely kill your elderly relatives dead within seconds. Meanwhile, the messages inside the racket are the ones you hope your kids would take on board and use to shape the world ahead. It may be a fearsome disturbance in the airspace around you, but it’s really […]
“Papa Pilko & The Binrats welcome us into their den of iniquity with open arms, a place of dangerous and deviant thought, a haven for the curious and the deranged, for the uninhibited and the untethered. We know full well that somehow we’re going to wind up getting dirty – but we also just don’t […]
