The Underground Stage
This month’s fanzine edition features Chloe Dadd on the cover, just one of a bunch of killer live shows captured in February, along with Jet City Sports Club, Platonic Sex, The Tin Knees, The Great Awake, and tons more. There are also reviews of the very best new music from DIY, independent, and emerging Australian […]
“The Great Awake launch their album tonight from a standing start, and punt it straight through the roof and into the upper atmosphere. Tonight is a set made of experience, about being there, doing it, and adding it to the setlist, for those who knew, who know, and those who just learned how. They should […]
“Just one of the excellent set of scrappy, poppy punk on their “Quit” album, this one in particular hits (me) like a scalpel on a vein. Take this track as a warning, youngsters – hell, I guess this is growing up 👴🏻”

One of my most-listened-tos of the last year, I could listen to this all night. Probably not […]
“I’m not one to complain (lie), but it’s been a real grind-it-out kind of week. I arrive tonight knackered, fed up, and basically cross at everyone. Turns out I ended up in just the right place to cheer me right up. The Great Awake play a shut-the-front-door set of high speed racket, overflowing with tune, […]
