Kill Your Stereo

Starting to feel like starting the website www.isRATMtouringaustralia.com - and it just displaying NO in full screen - until they are. And on that day, my friends, it will be a joyous, RAGE-FILLED day.

You'll be running in CIRCLES with excitement to get tickets to these tour dates.

Adelaide heavy hitters PTL are today announcing the complete re-brand and re-launch of their band - and the imminent arrival of their debut single - 0,000!

Linkin Park have been around now for 20+ years, they've been through the CD era, the Napster Era, the black hole between P2P and then iTunes/digital purchases, the Myspace era, the advent of smart phones and now into the streaming and hyper-social media era. So when someone like Mike Shinoda, one of the vocalists for Linkin Park, an artist and a pretty great business person all round, has some words to say around how artists are being treated, probably best to have a listen.

Tonight Alive vocalist Jenna McDougall seems to be teasing something totally brand new on her solo musician social media. A website has been posted - https://www.iwantyoutohaveeverythingyouwant.com - with a sign-up to an e-mail list. One would have to hazard a guess that new music is in the pipeline...

Melbourne-via-NZ rockers Banks Arcade have dropped a single and video today... and it's from their debut record out on July 29 through UNFD!

Steel Panther and Sevendust are coming down under in October 2022 after it being re-scheduled a BUNCH of times throughout COVID, and Michael Starr is STOKED to still be coming alongside their brothers Sevendust after all is said and done. He took the time to chat about mental health among rockstars and music industry people, about their show minus Lexxi Foxx and whether Australian people are attractive or not!

Lochlan Watt, member of metal band R U N, co-curator of Dark Mofo's heavy music events and triple j's The Racket Presenter - went to The Maldives last week and got married - in a suitably metal/gothic style wedding!

The Ratking lads initially had an idea for this video that involved putting themselves in incredibly anxiety-inducing situations, but realised that it would be way too hectic for their mental health - so decided to go with the safety of a green screen instead! I'd say that's a great idea. Suffering for one's art is one thing. Wilfully burying one's self alive with a camera - HELL NAH.

One of the most common cries in the Australian Music Scene when tours and festivals are announced is: "What? No Adelaide?" Well, South Australians, your cries have been heard and your prayers have been answered, thanks to Destroy All Lines!
