“Neighbourhood Void piledrive their way into this lineup and stand on everyone’s necks, a machine gun at a tea party. Vibrant, violent.” Instagram

“Sports Bra are just about one of my favourite damn bands right now, that Japandroids-vs-Bikini-Kill thing is just the fucking best. Fearsome.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter

The Buoys @ Portugal Madeira Club, Nov 10
“Second time seeing The Buoys and holy shit, when I said they were great before I totally undercooked it. So much spit, and emotion, and joy, and pure bloody fun. You’re going to spend a lot of time losing your shit to this band.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter

100 @ Portugal Madeira Club, Nov 10
“100 have such a serrated edge to every single song it could cut bread while you weren’t looking. So. Much. Blood. Pumping.” Facebook | Instagram
“Murray Darling has a seam of poetry running through it, gentle and clever, but accompanied by the occasional flashes of utter fury. Wonderful stuff.” Facebook | Instagram

Spit Chewy @ Portugal Madeira Club, Nov 10
“Spit Chewy are like a hat, perched at a jaunty angle, cigarillo in its teeth, and a flickknife in its hand. Exactly who you want to run into a party, fully aware they’re going to steal your wallet and run into the night, cackling.” Facebook | Instagram

Buddy Dingo @ Portugal Madeira Club, Nov 10
“Buddy Dingo sings wild-eyed songs about backyards and outback golf and kangaroos and is basically the offspring of a dusty boot, a wide-brimmed hat with some corks hanging off it, and some cricket. It’s totally demented, and not a small bit brilliant.” Facebook | Instagram

“The Cool Whirrs bring – and I guess I should have seen this coming – an actual cool whirr of noise, one that soothes and flutters and jumps and coils around. There’s more funk than I’m usually comfortable with, but this is roaringly good fun, danceable and huggable, all at the same time.” Facebook
