The Underground Stage
“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 [flickr_set id=”72157707031843194″]
“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 [flickr_set id=”72157676702080317″]
“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 […]
“If Life After Football had any more jerky, snapping madness, they’d surely crack a vertebra. Imagine the horror of just thinking about a cross between PiL and QOTSA. Then imagine the sheer, nerve-shredding JOY of it.” Facebook | Instagram [flickr_set id=”72157707031760944″]
“The impeccably-named Moms Today are (bar their drummer, because drummers) almost shy about the razor-edged, bouncy racket they conjure up. Each track is sharp, and giddy, and ever-so-slightly cross. There is much of the fun here.” Facebook | Instagram jesus (demo) by moms today [flickr_set id=”72157689887604123″]
“Whispering Jackie are confident in the way an opponent is when you just know you’re about to lose a poker hand, or a fight. That serrated vocal, the guitars that blow eardrums, pounding rhythms to both upset and soothe stomachs… someone take this set and nail it to my forehead.” Facebook | Instagram [flickr_set id=”72157706834906615″]
“Pirra have a super-smooth sense of song running through them. Every tune is polished so hard you could shave in the reflection, but sharp enough to draw blood too. Just, in fact, like the best kinds of pop.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter [flickr_set id=”72157676676899797″]
