The Underground Stage
“Raised As Wolves’ serrated edges are on full display tonight like the world’s most beautiful threat. Each song rumbles and cajoles and judders like its – or rather, your – life depends on it, all of the sharpest guitar bands you’ve ever heard crammed into a lift, prodded in the kidneys, and then set on […]
“Nancy & The Jam Fancys come off rough, like the soles of a well-worn boot, but – alongside with that *immaculate* name – their set is as much of a pearler as you’re ever likely to be on the receiving end of. For those among you who who see red dust and distant horizons in […]

In response, an absolute belter of a set lands with an urgent crash, part day-glo pop, part Kurt’s ripped jumper. Closing with the epically good “Gold Star” we realise that we sowed the seeds, and so now we must […]
“With a handful of instant-click tracks out in the world already, Kanada The Loop’s easy beats and wit just plain *shine* live. No pressure, no stress, just an obligation to pay attention and – above all – to enjoy. All the bounce to the ounce is assembled, and by gum we damn well enjoy it. […]
“I really wanted to give this song the visual companion it deserved. After an artistic photoshoot involving polaroids, a backyard party during a rapture of torrential rain and a cold & windy plane-spotting session at Sydney Airport we finally have an end product.”
