There aren’t many bands left these days who embody rock n’ roll’s raucous spirit, which is why the music of Dangerous! is more vital now than ever. This Australian act (the first ever to sign a worldwide deal with Epitaph) haven’t had a dull moment since forming in 2007 and with the release of their new album Teenage Rampage, the band—Tommy, Nicky, Jarrad & Liam—are poised to take over the world one power chord at a time. Dangerous!’s debut disc was recorded in Los Angeles with Grammy-nominated producer Ulrich Wild (Deftones, Pantera), mixed by Marc McClusky (Weezer) and features 12 energetic anthems that are literally bursting at the seams with youthful enthusiasm.

Dynamos Ball Park Music are masters of the indie-pop-sunny melody and this GTM, we school of fish will be reeled in by their catchiest of hooks. The band, no doubt big fans of Pavement and Weezer, recently had two entries in triple j’s Hottest 100 with the playful ‘It’s Nice to Be Alive’ and ‘All I Want is You’ appearing at #31 and #38 respectively. Their record “Happiness and Surrounding Suburbs” also received nominations for Album of the Year in both triple j’s J Awards and Rolling Stone Awards, and wa...
