"I did a lot of crazy things. I partied. I did some good things and some not so good things."

"I’d rather go belly-up than have not jumped into the deep pool."

"I am now four months and eight days off the piss."

"Cypress Hill and I kinda bridged the gap between old school and the new school."

In a new feature: Aussie Spotlight, Killyourstereo.com aims to bring you some of the best up and coming local Australian acts, bringing domestic talent to the public eye.   We begin this April with Melbourne based post-hardcore quintet This Fiasco. Originating back in 2011, the group has been on trailblazing path of success. They have played with some of the most recognisable international and local acts such as Tonight Alive, Dance Gavin, Dance, In Hearts Wake and many more.   What makes this band unique is that they are one of the very few artists to combine both male vocals screams with beautiful female vocal melodies, stemming from the vocal chords of NicoleKeighery. Another aspect that makes them appealing is the passion and love that the members inject into their sound in addition to the immense amount of hard work that resonates in their art.   "The culture of the music scene is incredible, I can’t imagine a better lifestyle!" says Keighery.   "It kind of just fit for all of ...

Sable is taking his good feels around Australia.. The apple in our eye, the spring in our step, the icing on our cake, the ketchup on our chips (you get the idea)...

Fresh, free new music from a duo we don't know much about.. We can't tell you much about a new duo called Klo. We couldn't even tell you where they're from. A little bit of research reveals they are cousins. So there's that. So I guess that leaves us to focus on the music, and put simply - it's beautiful. Super chilled beats and sultry, smooth vocals are at this point the only words starting with 's' that I can apply to it, but I'll think of some more. In the mean time you should just listen to it, and if you love it like we do download it for free via their FACEBOOK.

We catch up with Atlanta's favourite punks Black Lips for a chat about their new record.. It's 7am Perth time when my phone rings with an ultra polite conference call man connecting me through to Jared Swilley, the bass-playing party extraordinaire from Atlanta, Gerogia. We are a both a little hazy, I've had like three hours sleep and he is currently driving from one show to the next, in the mountains on his way to Portland. The phone will drop out three times before the interview is done which is tough at the best of times but the state we are both in is making things a touch hard.  Fortunately Jared is a lord about the constant drops out and we have a great chat about their latest record Underneath the Rainbow, which has just come out, the truth about SXSW and touring the Middle East. Underneath the Rainbow is the new record, it’s been three years in the making since Arabic Mountain so what’s been happening in the world of Black Lips? Well, we toured a lot. When we go on tour it's no
