Gig photos and good times in Sydney’s dark spaces
SHOW NOTES “Look, Selfish Sons have got the perfect three-piece guitar model *down*. But! There’s clearly something else going on when they can land stuff that would normally belong in the trick bags of Fallout Boy and – no kidding – Fleetwood Mac. There is much going on here, and much to investigate further. Get […]
SHOW NOTES “Redferrie are only a year old, and carry all the recklessness of youth with them. This is a sparkling set and it shows just how much fun you can have when you don’t give a damn – or at least when you are just plain surprised that your messing about sounds this much […]
SHOW NOTES “The Tints have got more tunes than will fit in their baggage allowance. They’re at their best in the back half of this set though, when they chug and fly, with songs that are restrained in the whole but have so much filling it’ll make you puke. Bursting with flavour.” LEARN MORE Facebook […]
SHOW NOTES “Before a prize fight, everyone’s just hanging around until the contenders arrive. It doesn’t matter if you’re stacked, no-one’s going to mistake you for a *real* heavyweight. Married Man are heavyweights. You just know it when you see it.” LEARN MORE Facebook | Instagram Subscribe to The Underground Stage Playlist Thirty freshly-released goodies […]
SHOW NOTES “Bruise Pristine mean it more than you do. When other, wimpier, bands might think they’ve done enough to get their message across, Bruise Pristine are just getting warmed up. Think you’ve got enough distortion and squall and protest and anger? You’re Bob Dylan *before* he went electric compared to this lot. For Bruise […]
SHOW NOTES “Le Pie sings and drums and so what we get here is a set defined by voice and rhythm, not genre. The songs don’t easily fit alongside each other – one second it’s classic and full of soul, the next it sounds like Japandroids. It really shouldn’t work, but it obviously does, the […]
SHOW NOTES “Hedy Lamarr might be angry but but they channel it through so much tune it’s easy to find yourself halfway through a dance before you realise you’re being told off. Wrapping the razor wit and deep-cut vitriol in B-52s harmonies and Breeders songs is a masterstroke. You might be dancing now, but you’ll […]
SHOW NOTES “If there’s anything wrong with Boysnlove in theory or practice, no-one’s found it yet. An immaculate set of subtlety and strength, of power used wisely, and just some of the loveliest damn songs going.” LEARN MORE Facebook | Instagram Subscribe to The Underground Stage Playlist Thirty freshly-released goodies from the very best new […]
SHOW NOTES “Jeremy Neale’s rich pop isn’t pared back when it’s just him and a guitar, it’s amplified and sharpened. There’s nowhere to hide if you don’t got it – but when you do, like he does, it’s impossible to ignore. It might be quiet here but the quality is deafening.” LEARN MORE Facebook | […]
