Live Review: Ash Grunwald, Mr Cassidy
It’s no real surprise that this track earned Grunwald and co-writer Craig O’Reilly the 2013 APRA for Blues And Roots Work Of The Year. Grunwald is a showman who rises to another level when backed by Owen and Strachan.

Album Review: Thirty Seconds To Mars - Love Lust Faith + Dreams
Although at times it’s still like the Jared Leto show, Love, Lust, Faith + Dreams is the perfect album to introduce a friend to Thirty Seconds To Mars. But then be sure to let them loose on the band’s back catalogue.

Album Review: Long Holiday - Greetings From...
Greetings From... is Long Holiday’s attempt to fill a perceived void in the current commercial music landscape, with a contemporary take on the grunge genre. Instead it sounds like a Garbage cover band.

Album Review: Vaudeville - Smash Dancing For The Girl
This is how to make an ‘80s throwback album sound current. It’s how danceable music is supposed to be.

Album Review: Bon Jovi - What About Now
Bon Jovi’s 12th studio album is comforting and familiar, just like curling up on the couch with a good book.
