Live Review: Sam Buckingham, Steve Parkin, Eloise Ashton
Buckingham’s set was excellently crafted and had unexpected volume and variety for one featuring just voice and guitar.

Album Review: Trigger Jackets - Skinny
The trio have driven a rail spike into the music scene’s ground, firmly establishing themselves among others hoping to be heard. Killer.

Album Review: Bernard Fanning - Departures
Overall this album is a kicker, maybe not on the same level as its predecessor, but then again maybe not comparable at all. Apples and oranges, and all that.

Album Review: Andrew Stockdale - Keep Moving
The new solo record from Aussie rock frontrunner Andrew Stockdale is loud, intense and old school

Live Review: Converse Get Loud: DZ Deathrays, Doctopus, Hamjam
DZ Deathrays finished up with a maniacal and chaotic set of their own, starting with a gluttonous and hearty chug from one of the free bottles of Sailor Jerry rum, and finishing with blood on the snare drum.

In all, the positive outweighs the negative, and this album is a reasonable follow up.

Live Review: Tracksuit, The Sun Orchestra, The Morning Night
“Guten tag, welcome to our sexy party!” Tracksuit frontman Steve Hensby announced with a flick of his hair and a hand in the air; and it was time for the men of the hour to melt some faces.

Album Review: Seasick Steve - Hubcap Music
He’s asked a few big named friends to join him... two gentlemen that go by the names John Paul Jones and Jack White.
