The Underground Stage
“There are few finer things in life than being yelled at by someone who’s having all the fun, and Neighbours have this down solid. Like a bat with a nail through the end, attached to a car battery, that’s inserted into your face. Which is grinning like an idiot.” Facebook | Instagram triple j Unearthed […]
“It’s so bloody great to see Sleepy again. It’s just like a massive wave of frothy guitars, wrapped in warm blankets of grinning song. It’s been – literally – years since I last saw them, but I swear I could listen to them until the sun explodes. Wonderful stuff.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter
“Bruise Pristine are not designed for easy consumption. There are no three-minute pop songs. There are no easily hummable hooks. There is a dark, pure, relentless rage that simmers like the pit of a volcano and occasionally spits out blazing hot rocks that will kill you stone dead. This isn’t fun, and it isn’t built […]
“Library Monitor deliver a smoothly tailored line in Pavement-y fun, and there is gold a-plenty in these that hills. It take skill to make things sound this slack – but it’s a real pleasure to watch a band that are full of vim and fizz, but make you feel like you’re high as a paper […]
“WAAAAAAGH! Holy shit kids, you badly need to hear this voice and see this band. Cry Club are doing their first Sydney gig right now and these songs are good enough to set the whole fucking world to rights. This is soul and massive pop and Dinosaur Jr on guitar and everything else you ever […]
“Bleeding Knees Club have literally never let me down. Not once, not with one note. It’s daft as a brush but it’s well-read and made of art. It gives you bruises – like the ones I got down the front getting this shot – but it’s joyous and triumphant. It comes off disposable, but the […]
“Together Pangea tear the face off the place tonight. They might be in from LA, but they’re welcomed like old friends here. Jagged, hilarious, mayhem-fuelled and just BUCKETS full of tune. GodDAMN.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter
“Fritz are in from Newcastle and have brought all the charm in the world with them. They claim that they’re going to go shoegaze at some point but it really doesn’t, it’s like they’re allergic to producing anything except super-catchy, galatically adorable Allo Darlin-ish slices of lovely. Bags and bags and bags of promise-of-even-more-awesome-to-come, and […]
“Particles are just one of those fun-as-hell bands I can’t stop going to see. It’s got yards full of tune, they’re brilliant to watch, and it goes like a bloody train in all sorts of mad directions. Right up your face, and inventively loud – just tue way you know you love it.” Facebook | […]
