"What we’re doing is cultural, spiritual. It has something to do with how people live, and that’s what culture is, you know what I mean?"

Album Review: The Night - I Am And Say
The Night display some clear art-rock instincts and definitely appear on the verge of brewing something special, but this just isn’t there yet.
Reviews / Album
Album Review: Mr Bronson - Reel
This is supreme mood music with a heavy emphasis on guttural sounds that are both earthy and otherworldly. The release’s repetitive brand of minimalism may bore some, however.

Album Review: The Phat Controller - Phat Outta Hell
Yes, it’s all very ‘badass’ and ‘boundary-pushing’ – we get it. But once you peel back the veneer of that gimmick, you’re left with the equivalent of an air-horn blasting in your face.

Album Review: Jai Waetford - Jai Waetford
It’s a shame that due to gaining third place on the show a rushed release was pumped out of this obvious talent before allowing him to mature naturally.
Reviews / Album
Album Review: Major Leagues - Weird Season
The fuzzy Creeper is a strong closer to a wonderfully listenable garage release; perfect for fans of Yuck and Best Coast alike.

Meltdown is at least vaguely listenable.

Album Review: Louis London - The Big Deep
Simultaneously emotive and controlled vocals harmonise with cooing, melodious backing vocals in opener Grand.

Album Review: Dom Miller - Clap Your Hands
His music is basic and boring.
Reviews / Album
