Live Review: Flatbush Zombies, Captain Franco, Dutch
Their set was under an hour long and there was an uneasy vibe of disappointment from the stage but Flatbush Zombies returned for an encore and left the crowd with a simple and emphatic mantra: open your minds.

Album Review: Classixx - Hanging Gardens
While Hanging Gardens is not as impressive as its first single would have us think, there are addictive grooves and a minimalistic yet complex production to the record that makes it a definite worthwhile listen.

Album Review: Charles Baby - The End Of The Terror Lights
Most of the time it’s the perfect balance of tragedy and beauty and the artistry that’s gone into the lyrics mark Charles Baby as an intricate and genuine wordsmith.

Live Review: Julian Marley, Blue King Brown, The Strides, Manalion
Julian Marley drew a collection of Australia’s most prestigious reggae artists to support him on his first Australian headline tour, making this homage to Godfather of reggae Bob so much more than a gimmick.

Album Review: Vampire Weekend - Modern Vampires Of The City
It hits an emotional chord that’s hard to explain but with angelic choirs, arpeggios of harpsichord and indecipherably picturesque lyrics, you won’t find this kind of uplifting despair anywhere else.

Album Review: Young Man - Beyond Was All Around Me
It gives you that feeling that you’ve lost something, perhaps that spark we lose when we grow up, one that we never really knew we had.

Live Review: ShockOne, Nick Thayer, Phetsta, Redial
ShockOne presented a huge night of epic electronic proportions and the more than six-hour endurance of people moved by the music was a testament to his variety and skill.

Album Review: Orianthi - Heaven In This Hell
Heaven In This Hell is fine for a light rock-pop album and some rebellious tweens will probably love it, but Orianthi has the potential, the depth and the talent for a more memorable record.

Live Review: The Black Seeds
The Black Seeds perform with so much energy and finesse that they could have played until dawn and still held a captive audience grooving by their side.
