It hass been a mammoth year already for Sydney post-metallers Lo! - having completed an extensive European tour as well as releasing sophomore album, 'Monstorium Historia'. Ahead of the album's launch tour next month, we caught up with the band's guitarist Carl Whitbread.

Orange County outfit Bleeding Through led the metalcore charge in the early 2000’s. Heavy, melodic and musically sincere, the band has enjoyed a well-received career. On the eve of their farewell Australian shows next month, Killyourstereo.com sits down with keyboardist Marta Demmel to discuss Bleeding Through’s journey and her plans for the future.

With news of Parklife being no more, we felt it appropriate to reflect on the festival's past eleven running years for this week's Flashback.

After watching a good film or show, you partly leave with the memory of the music it played. Spoilt for choice, we narrowed down our top five soundtracks!

Luen Jacobs is the head of the Hand Games - a Sydney collective bringing you mixtapes and parties. We thought it was time we'd have a quick chat with Luen!

"I think house music is the ‘it’ word now for a lot of people which is really good to see, and I think what we tried to do with this EP is a proper, straight up club track."

"I ended up feeling like it wasn’t satisfying enough for me [though], because it wasn’t a vocally-driven project, and I wanted to do more lyrical stuff, so that’s why I [left]."

"I think when we started, seven years ago now, that (post-hardcore) was the style of music we all clung to."
