Video: Violent Soho - Saramona Said
Violent Soho can do no wrong.. Between dudes ripping gumboot bongs during their set at SPLENDOUR and customised beer pong TABLES, I think it's safe to say Violent Soho are Australia's favourite rock'n'roll act in 2014. The fact they have consistently backed it up with incredible live shows and just generally being sick cunts (they really do epitomise the phrase), puts them in good stead to lord of the this country's rock heap for a long time to come. They're now taking their wares overseas, with the Aus' chart-smashing album Hungry Ghost set to take over the states. In celebration they've dropped their video clip for Saramona Said in the US, and it's a masterclass in film making from creators Garetz Media, who had purchased an old car to literally rip the roof off it and assemble moving tracks for the camera. It's epic, and will make you long for the weekend even harder than you already do:

Flying Lotus - You're Dead! Preview
Hype hype hype hype hype.. LA-born Steven Ellison, known better as Flying Lotus, has recently announced details of his forthcoming album on Warp Records, entitled You're Dead! - "You’re Dead! is a shamanic pilgrimage into the psychedelic unknown of the infinite afterlife. A sonic, visual and metaphysical fusion of technological innovate and technical virtuosity that amounts to a transcendent, mind expanding plasm that could only exist between our world and another.” Flying Lotus’ previous album, featuring the likes of Thom Yorke and Erykah Badu, ventured out into the abstract side of spaced-out jazz, and as always, was skilfully textured with crisp percussion. Set to be released on October 6, Flying Lotus’ fifth album features a huge range of talent, from the legendary jazz musician Herbie Hancock, to the hip hop heavyweights Kendrick Lamar and Snoop Dog, as well as Flying Lotus’ rapping alter-ego, Captain Murphy. In the past week, Flying Lotus has been releasing previews of the grues

Video: At Home With Millions
With their (cracking) debut album out, we get nostalgic about MTV Cribs'ing with Millions.. Brissy babes Millions are on the verge of releasing their debut album Max Relax - and following a sneaky advance listen we're bloody stoked for them - so we thought now would be a good time to dig up an old fave from the archives. Back when we went on a Pilerats tour to launch this little project, we not only had the pleasure of watching the guys live, but chilling at their pad, getting the tour, and just generally hanging. A likelier bunch of lads we guarantee you would struggle to find, and we hope this album kills it 'cause it's a bloody ripper (seriously - go buy it HERE). Apologies for the abuse of the word "bloody", this video just feels very Australian. They're playing a few launch shows starting this weekend: Sydney 16 August - GoodGod Small Club Melbourne 21 August - The Worker's Club  Brisbane 22 August - Black Bear Lodge Follow Millions: FACEBOOK // WEBSITE
