10 punk / hardcore selections from the lads over at Bad Noose Independent Press..

Ahead of a national tour Twin Haus have released a cracking new single.. Following the release of their killer Waxen Myriad EP earlier this year and supporting the likes of The Medics, Young Lions, Dune Rats and more, outfit Twin Haus have a new single (out October 17) and some tour dates to back it up, presented by little old us and Beldam Records. Blood Tapes is a typically atmospheric slice of psychedelic rock from the Brisbane-based four-piece, driving along with jarring bouts of rawkus guitars interspersed with vocals that switch from eery to powerful in a heartbeat. At 5:13 it's an absolute epic, and you'll be able to catch them on tour in November with dates TBA, but check the first cab off the rank below, with that incredible artwork.

One of Perth's hidden gems finally releases some new music.. Perth three-piece Savoir are such teases. First, they gave us that incredible Perth Boiler Room performance last year, the one people still casually bring up today and just exchange knowing glances, slowly shaking their heads side to side in wonder... [embed width=320 height=240 class=left thumbnail=http://tattletailzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/oprah-shakes-head.gif?r=52267]http://tattletailzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/oprah-shakes-head.gif[/embed] Then, around the same time (early 2013) they dropped the soul-stirring bomb that was Zinili Rhythm, a track that fast became the most played track on Perth independent radio station RTRFM (not an actual statistic, but everyone was definitely thrashing it, 'coz it universally ruled). But then, after we all fell hard for them, they never called us back. There was no releases for a year and a half, and only a smattering of live gigs. "It's time for our quarter-yearly live se

Bangers, Norway style.. You know you're being earmarked for hugeness when global dancefloor tastemaker Diplo invites you to do one of his BBC1Extra Diplo & Friends mixes. Cashmere Cat's bestie, Norwegian producer Lido, from the Pelican Fly record label (Richelle, Mr Tweeks) recently got on board and his 60 minute mix is devastatingly good. As well as a whole bunch of new Lido dubs, there's Lido's recent slow-burning remix of The Weeknd’s Often, a classic cut from Boyz II Men, a cover of Justin Timberlake's Cry Me A River, as well as Ariana Grande, Yung Lean, ZHU, and of course, Cashie. The highlight in a long list of highlights is Lido’s version of '70s soul classic Ain’t No Sunshine by Bill Withers – there’s bubbles, there’s builds, and you can just imagine this going down a treat in the club, the heart-warming breather in an otherwise fast-paced set. Stream it here and forget about everything you were planning on doing for the next hour, because... party in your chair. If you need m

Sydney dancehall night Dutty Dancing is headed south, and Shantan Wantan Ichiban gets you up to speed.. With just a few days till Sydney's premiere Dancehall night, Dutty Dancing doing it's second party in Melbourne, I have put together some videos to inspire you for the dancing competition. Dutty Dancing is a party with the energy of Carnivale, playing a mix of energetic, electrifying dancehall reggae, and our regular dancing competition has built a reputation for dancing so dirty it would make Patrick Swayze blush. This time round stakes are high with a piece of dancehall history up for grabs, as we giveaway one of Shabba Rank's iconic gold ropes* in our very first dancing competition in Melbourne. To give you a little inspiration for your routine, we have compiled a couple of videos to keep you from doing something a little more productive… Bogle - Mr Wacky Let’s start with BOGLE AKA Mr Wacky. He was called the “Dancehall Master”, a legend in Jamaica who effortlessly created many of

The Brisbane rockers take a few happy snaps of their favourite things for us.. Brisbane psych-folk outfit Holy Holy are on a roll. Following the release of a beautiful new video clip for the single History, and they've just popped up on Triple J Mornings for Like A Version, smashing out a glorious version of Joy Division's Love Will Tear Us Apart. We asked them to get snapping on their iPhone and give us a bit of insight into a few of their favourite things whilst they're also in the midst of a national tour. Check those things below, along with their remaining tour dates... DZ Z GUITAR AMP This isn't actually mine. I wish it was. It belongs to our producer, Matt Redlich. He let me use it on the QLD leg of our History tour. It is, without a doubt, the finest guitar amplifier I have ever used. We could only actually turn it up to 0.3 on the stage and that was enough, and still it sounded beautiful. I want one.  RICE SHAKER This is a shaker that I devised myself. It handily doubles as

A huge new original from Elk Road.. If super tight production gets you going, look no further than rapidly-rising WA-based producer Elk Road (check an interview we did with him a while ago HERE) He's been in the game for a few years now under a variety of different guises, but his latest venture is garnering serious attention from all over the world. And for a simple reason as to why this is just stream his latest single, Hurt No More. There's so much going on in this track it's almost hard to get your head around, but none of it feels forced or too much, it all works perfectly, and the change-up around 1/3 of the way in is pure dancefloor fire. We're way past the stage of simply "keeping an eye" on Elk Road, just really excited about one of this country's brightest-burning talents. Follow Elk Road: FACEBOOK // SOUNDCLOUD

The Meanies tick off a major life goal and all they did was sit on a couch.

Since they first hit the scene, Aversions Crown have always been pretty heavy, and they just keep adding the weight on. Their sophomore album, ‘Tyrant’ is set to drop early next month (through Nuclear Blast) and the band hit the road with US band, Molotov Solution in support. We had a brief chat with vocalist Colin Jeffs about the new release and how 2014 has been treating the band so far, as well as his favorite science fiction movies.
