Kill Your Stereo

No, it's NOT the C-Tier Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles villain - it's the EXCELLENT Perth punk/hardcore outfit RATKING! We are premiering their brand new single 'Panic Station' - and they are announcing their EP Nervous Nature!

Dance Gavin Dance has had to deal with the heartbreaking news last week that they'd lost their bassist and dear friend, Tim Feerick, and today, Dance Gavin Dance have announced the release of their new album JACKPOT JUICER today. They collectively decided that Tim would have wanted the album to be released!

"Saboteur was inspired through observation of a flawed part of the human condition - the desire to consciously and subconsciously self sabotage our lives when things become uncomfortable or foreign. Even when the change or situation is beneficial we sometimes seem to look for an out from responsibility, stress or power. It’s only when we hit rock bottom we seem to feel grounded."

“the song is about finding comfort in generosity. Sharing what little you have and knowing you can count on good friends to do the same.”

It's been an uneasy road to the finish line for Uncaged Festival, and unfortunately this weekend's Brisbane line-up has been slashed in half and the festival is now down to one stage and been shifted to indoors.

“We spent so much time on the road thinking that if we stopped, people would lose interest. But when we went away, it only got bigger. We all carved new paths for ourselves, so coming back to Alexisonfire is a purely enjoyable creative venture. Something special happens when we get in a room together.”

"A lot of bands have done incredible re-releases or reimagined versions of songs, and those versions are usually stripped down and showcase a softer side. We wanted to do the exact opposite - to team up with some powerhouses in the deathcore scene (Brand of Sacrifice), and release something heavy, fast paced and aggressive."

"when we were young is a song that recognises what is gained and what is lost as we get older" says Dan Searle. "as the world unfolds around us we can become overwhelmed by its endless complexity. when i was 20 I thought I had the whole thing sussed, today i’m pretty sure i’ll never understand reality. we lose our innocence as we age, and although fatalism and cynicism can creep in, we also begin to shift our focus toward gratitude for existence and for those that we love."

Hey Kids! Who Likes AURAL CHAOS? Veil of Maya's new one 'Synthwave Vegan' is brutal and chaotic in equal measure, while also somehow maintaining a GROOVY AS FUCK through-line. It's classic VoM and I am here for it.

Lili & Nikki discuss how wild the last two years have been, all the wild adventures of finishing up with Pagan, joining Blood Command, recording an album, meeting her band members after being in different countries for over a year & then returning to the stage.
