Live Review: Earthless, The Shrine, Eternal Elysium, Dreamtime
Earthless are just one of those bands you have to see to believe: insane guitar solos, forceful bass lines, mesmerising drums. More like this please.

Album Review: Dappled Cities - Many Roads
Tracks like Cramps, A Walk On A Wire and Madly Fadly are more successful, however, demonstrating the group’s versatility and a marked progression in production since they started all those years ago.

Live Review: Scott and Charlene's Wedding, Blank Realm, Early Woman
The only real highlight comes in the form of Jackie Boy, more so because of the outstanding songwriting and guitar work found within the track than because of anything special in the performance.

Album Review: Toy - Join The Dots
Join The Dots could have been great, however because most tracks possess the same vibe, intensity and tempo, with no breaths in between, it has the tendency become an overwhelming listen.

Live Review: Holy Holy, Govs, Eves
The truth is, these guys are destined for so much more than this – they play with a professionalism rarely seen on a local level, which is bound to steal the hearts of nation in no time.

Live Review: The Ottomans, Tsun, Gazar Strips
It’s not hard to understand the excitement here; the melodies are tight, the vibe is exciting and there’s room within the track for each band member to shine. While this tune has been a long time coming, it’s definitely proven worth the wait.

Anything's Possible
“I just love the feeling you get with busking. You can just go to street and all of a sudden there's 20 people around you. I like handing out CDs and flyers while I do it, and I tell them all about my forthcoming shows - it's a cool way of putting yourself out there.”
