Chris Familton, Journalist

Chris Familton

I'm a music journalist, publicist and musician. I’ve been writing professionally about music for the last 15 years, with my music blogs Doubtful Sounds and Post To Wire (alt-country/folk) and as a freelancer with The Music (Drum Media) since 2009, Rhythms magazine, FasterLouder and more.

I've been playing bass guitar in bands since the early ‘90s in New Zealand (Thorazine Shuffle) and Australia (The Finalists, Charlie Horse). I currently also work as a music publicist, with artists including Bluebottle Kiss, Halfway, Restless Leg, Alannah Russack.

Underground Lovers' Vincent Giarrusso & His Indifference To Dumb Instruments
"Whenever we use loops we try to make them as manual as possible so we are in control and it still has some human imperfection."

Album Review: Underground Lovers - Staring At You Staring At Me
"It's a multi-dimensional collection of songs, stretching from the experimental clatter and propulsive dirge of 'Glamnesia' to the alt-rock swagger of 'Every Sign'."

Reviews / Album

Reviews / Live
Live Review: Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, Body Type, Sunscreen
"The quintet were a tightly wound unit, all five heads bobbing in unison, digging deep into the rhythm with musical and physical synchronicity."

Album Review: Bad//Dreems - Gutful
"It highlights how well the band blends mood and wistful melody alongside lurching rock'n'roll."
Reviews / Live
Live Review: Booker T Jones, Caiti Baker
