FVNERAL @ Oxford Art Factory, 24th Apr

“If I wasn’t crying at the announcement earlier in the day that the artists in FVNERAL are calling time on this particular project, I was – again – left damn near bawling like a toddler during the set. Hearts are broken and filled in rapid and almost-cruel succession, an elevator ride that only takes you […]

Dr. Spaceman @ Oxford Art Factory, 24th Apr

“Dr. Spaceman launch out of their ten-year hiatus with glee and jokes, bouncing melodies and absolutely *humungous* songs – both old and, happily, new. More shows are on the way and based on this comeback, it’ll be more than worth coming back for, more than once.” Gallery Listen

Gut Health @ Vic On The Park, 17th Apr

“Gut Health are widely regarded as one of the best bands in Australia right now but if – like me – you’ve only caught the records and not the live show, you’ve only been getting half the story. Arty post-punk can often be pretty dour but the torrent of fun that comes off the stage […]

The Prize @ Vic On The Park, 17th Apr

“The Prize straddle a line between Ramones and Thin Lizzy and it’s a glorious line to hold, if you can hold on. Shredding and shrugging and strutting in equal measure, keeping it simple at the core but going bolo at the edges, it’s a magnificent racket designed to light up every guitar-related neuron in your […]

Boyfriend Material @ Mixtape, 17th Apr

“Boyfriend Material go easy but carry bite, confident and driving without feeling the need to shout about it. It swirls and thumps, gradually but relentlessly filling up the room with darkly rich guitars and song.” Gallery Listen
