Live Review: Release The Hounds, Hug Thearapist, The Acid Monkeys, Fat Chance
Thrash and punk may not be super popular at the moment, but shows like tonight’s just go to show there are many talented bands waiting in the wings for their chance, a chance that they will probably create in their own garage, with their own recording equipment, owing nothing to anyone. Rock on.

Live Review: Sticky Fingers, Bootleg Rascal, The Walking Who
Sticky Fingers are a band with a great show and a knack for writing very catchy tunes. If you do get a chance to see them, you’ll not only have a fun night, but one of their infectious riffs or melodies will bore its way into your head and stay there for a week or so.

Live Review: The Kite String Tangle, Kilter
In actuality, it should probably have been the audience thanking them for putting on a really cool show.

Live Review: The Getaway Plan, Siren Lines
Given their performance, I wouldn’t be surprised if The Getaway Plan could hammer in a nail with a carrot.

Live Review: Bootleg Rascal, The Architect
Sydney’s reggae scene seems to be developing into something quite significant, and with bands like these sprouting up, it is definitely a space that should be watched.
