Human Noise @ Wayward’s, 4th Mar

“Watching Human Noise is like staring at a cathedral – some parts are there to make your brain work, but some are there just to pummel your senses into a puddle of goo.

Motion Sickness @ Wayward’s, 4th Mar

“There’s something molten, volcanic about Motion Sickness. They don’t move fast, but they move with purpose, with weight and heft behind them. A rich, thick set, full of heat and fire, and it’s hard to stand in front of and not be rolled flat by it.” Facebook | Instagram Subscribe to The Underground Stage Playlist […]

Palms @ The Lansdowne, 26th Feb

“Palms are one of those bands that almost can’t help themselves. It’s been literally years since I saw them last and they’ve both grown musically and kept every last drop of energy and vim that made me love them the first time round.

Jangles and everyday themes bound around with glee, from the leaves on the trees to the taste of post-dental surgery lips. More than enough charm to disarm the most […]

Brooker’s feelings run deep and ‘Miss You’ is similarly all heart, pounding and thumping and churning in those ways that make life both delicious and painful all at […]

The Kids @ Frankie’s, 21st Feb

“The Kids go OFF tonight, partially because it’s drummer Jagger’s birthday, but mostly because that’s their default speed, somewhere between ‘hilarious’ and ‘how does get fucked sound?’ Once you accept that they hate you and everything you stand for, you’ll get along just fine. Hell yes please and thank you.” Facebook | Instagram Subscribe to […]

Boysclub @ Frankie’s, 21st Feb

“Boysclub are basically made of rocket fuel and starlight, the sort of thing to make you wish you heard more bands like this, and then be grateful that this one sounds like no other. Just raw blistering power, note to note, song to song.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter Subscribe to The Underground Stage Playlist […]

Space Boys @ Frankie’s, 21st Feb

“Space Boys have taken their sludge rock to the next level, where your brain just gives up and succumbs to a devilish combination of weight and tune. A monstrous set, in all the right ways.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter Subscribe to The Underground Stage Playlist Thirty freshly-released goodies from the very best new Australian […]
