Local upstarts Young Lions have just wrapped up playing select shows around the country in support of their latest release, ‘Burn’.

Eyegasms for your eargasms.. With Sable - Feels So Good recently clocking up over 100,000 plays on Soundcloud, we figured it was time it received a visual accompaniment, and our very first Pilerats Records release gone and done just that with a video clip that premiered over at RunTheTrap THIS MORNING. The clip itself does the very best it can in capturing the whizz fizz vs cola vibes that Jersey bounce all over the hyperactive sunbeam-synth shreds, some of which are surely going to be found on his 5-track EP, due for release on February 14th. Until then though, enjoy the clip, and head HERE for more info on the boy wonder himself, including his upcoming tour dates on the recently-announced NLV Presents national tour and supporting Wave Racer.

There aren't many bands in the world that evolve like Panic! At The Disco. With every release, they craft their sound into a completely new beast, and the band's latest effort, 'Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die,' is no exception. The group will be coming down under for Soundwave next month, and front man Brendon Urie took the time out to chat to us ahead of the visit.

Punk legends The Lawrence Arms are back with 'Metropole', their first album in eight years. Capturing themes of urban disconnectedness and ageing with blistering punk gems, it's also their debut with iconic label Epitaph. We caught up with the band's Brendan Kelly for an expectedly entertaining chat about the new album, social media and juggalo culture.

Who not to be this Sunday the 26th of January..

We get all stoked out with Andrew from Grouplove about surfing and being involved in Spirit of Akasha.. Andrew Wessen is the guitarist from the band Grouplove, a mad surfer and a lord. He is currently touring around Australia with Big Day Out and surfing as much as he can. I caught up with him recently to talk about the band's involvement in Albe Falzon's new film Spirit of Akasha, what Morning of the Earth means to him and his love affiar with surfing. You’re on the Big Day Out tour at the moment, how’s it all going? It’s been unreal. In the history of our band touring I have never been on a festival tour or a general tour where the bands and people have been so good. The camaraderie has been great with all the bands and artists, everyone has been hanging out and getting wild each night. On a personal level Australia is the dreamland for me and has been since I came here for the first time as a 19 year old.

Orange Country heavy-hitters Throwdown have been a permanent staple in contemporary hardcore for well over a decade. Having taken a break following 2009’s ‘Deathless’, the band returns with crushing new full-length, ‘Intolerance’. Killyourstereo.com recently sat down with main man Dave Peters prior to release to get an update on the album and plans for the year ahead.  

Anchors are back! After having a break from the stench of each other's sweat in a van, the band is ready to tour, write and wreak havoc like the contemporary punks they are. Playing The Australia Day Weekend Fundraiser, Killyourstereo.com sat down with the group to talk about the show, the band's future and Taylor Swift!
