The Underground Stage
“We Are Not Robots are maddeningly precise. It’s like getting beaten up by a surgeon. Every note & thump & rumble is spot-on, and it’s all the size of that one fucking massive kangaroo with the huge biceps. It’s made out of the business end of a quarry, and pummels into you like being run […]
“Black Knuckles bring back the glory days of northern England – not just the throaty roar of Motorhead, but the careening lunacy of Wildhearts and all their many works. There is a vocal scrubbed with sand, throbbing rhythm and clanging guitar lines. Deceptively simple, effective as hell. Great stuff.” Facebook | Instagram https://youtu.be/K0a2HrbgA-g
“Shinu Gnu bring some deep knowledge of guitars with them in their bags tonight, thrashy chugging, soaring pop-punk, the barrelling sounds of every good Friday night ever. Harmonies and big song accompany, all is well.” Facebook | Instagram
“As should be self-evident, I try to see as many different bands as possible (493 and counting!), but Cry Club are one of those bands I’d go and see every week. New single “DFTM” blows the fucking roof off – *both* times they play it. The of the most vital, inventive, sheer bloody joyous acts […]
“Slush swagger eratically and hilariously between Bikini Kill staccato and flat-out delirious punk rock. They’re like that one dog you know – goddamn it looks like fun to hang out with, but you just know it’s going to tear your face off whenever the hell it feels like it. It’s also their first Sydney show […]
“Good Pash have only got one song on Spotify and this is a wicked-ripping shame. The whole set sings tonight, giddy and wonky in patches, raw as a fresh wound in others. It’s your best mate – lifting you up when you need it, and slapping you back in line when you deserve it.” Facebook […]
“The Lenores are launching their ‘Groan’ EP tonight, and their love for late 20th century guitars shines like the sweat on Bob Mould’s brow. Big, raw guitars, and throats scrubbed with a bleachy brush, just like you always wanted.” Facebook | Instagram
“Space Boys serve up a sludgey, raw, plate of utter filth tonight. There’s no consideration for you, the audience, just a muddy bath of wonderful dirt for you to bathe and luxuriate in.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter
“I’m a pretty simple chap. I basically like punk rock. So when 2oolit belt on stage and make the most unholy noise made up of deep trap beats, rapid-spit lyricism full of equal parts rage and wit, I am promptly fucking *delighted*. Punk rock doesn’t need to come with guitars – this is rough-edged and […]
