The Underground Stage
“The thing I love about Black Knuckles is the purity. There’s no agenda, no hidden message – just open, clear channels of power and fury and fun. Huge and beastly guitars, a throat ravaged by God knows what, and rhythms to upset the sturdiest of stomachs. Don’t overthink it.” Facebook | Instagram Subscribe to The […]
“Poison The Vein bring with them a deep love for Iron Maiden but, unlike your average fan, they have musical chops to match. Every rhythm and thump here is pumping out of its own forehead, the guitars weave and slice and saw, and – the really hard bit – there’s a vocal that belongs front […]
“Great Job! bring a manic combination of blank verse lyricism, wild-eyed enthusiasm, and wise-head songwriting and combine it into a lethal, night-ending cocktail of one of the most fun sets you’re likely to see anytime soon. So. Much. Fun.” Facebook | Instagram Subscribe to The Underground Stage Playlist Thirty freshly-released goodies from the very best […]
“Goose Neck are minus a bassist tonight, but while a few more lower frequencies would be welcome, the songs are still raw and buzzy, waking up the senses and blistering the skin.” Facebook | Instagram Subscribe to The Underground Stage Playlist Thirty freshly-released goodies from the very best new Australian artists.

Black Knuckles crash into 2021 with predictable sound & fury in the form of this snarly little beast, taken from their ‘Crush. Kill. Destroy. Repeat.’ EP. Channeling the sainted ghost of Lemmy, it’s a pounding and relentless thrash through four minutes of neck-snapping fun. While under its influence, it’s probably a bad idea to try […]
Straight of back and shoulders squared, Pretty Uglys stride into the new year with a track that takes an optimistic approach to the missed connections of a plagued year. With a surfy sneer on its chops, it’s a sunshine-punk look ahead to a time when wild nights of daft abandon are restored, it’s a resolution […]
“The Witching Hour may have a glinting, sharpened edge to their set but it’s tempered by the sheer mad energy they bring to it. It would be easy to do this goth-moody-meets-Metallica set and just stare at your feet as if it was all really important, but instead they bring huge energy to it. Sawing, […]
“Week Neez deliberately do not have a guitar, only a bass, which seems like heresy here at Frankie’s. It’s not a subtraction though, it’s a multiplication – it allows them to somehow slam down heavy and fast tracks with massive punk chops, but also gives them the freedom to explore samples and grooves that venture […]
“Indigo Point carry some twitchy, enthusiastic tunes around in their bag, some with precise and surgical guitar lines, some with Sabbath-y thumping, and some – notably ‘The Border’ – which jump around like their lives depend on it. Boing boing.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter Subscribe to The Underground Stage Playlist Thirty freshly-released goodies from […]
