Unwilling as they are to accept it, The Owen Guns are one of the deserved gatekeepers of a genre all too often maligned and disgraced by a swathe of misguided wannabees. P…U…N…K! In an era where The Sex Pistols can comfortably sell out shows without their original frontman, it’s clear that the most discerning ears, […]
Read moreIt’s a rare treat to be able to present something so polished and radio friendly. Alt-rocks newest ambassadors, Driftway, make their debut with So Sweetly, a slice of pop rock perfection. These guys represent a band functioning as a single organism; as opposed to a cluster of musicians jockeying for dominance. As this is the […]

Read moreIn terms of perfect debut albums, very few bands can claim to have had one; zero fat … “all killer, no filler”. Seriously, not Queen, not The Beatles, not Radiohead, not Nirvana – in almost every case, a classic album is seldom the debut. Acid Amora on their debut self titled release do more than […]

Through the intentional […]
Read moreDeep within the Melbourne underground rock scene, on a floor covered in spilt beer, piss and blood, we find the Forklift Assassins. A three-piece who manage to tour harder than a solo act but sound bigger than their parts. New single Wake Up (Rapid Eye Movement) is an instant earworm. A blend of the garage-familiarity […]
Read more“How the fuck is this news?” – the obvious question posed with all the venom and precision we’ve come to expect from The Owen Guns on the track Stop Making Deadshits Famous.

Forming in the late 90s in Melbourne’s northern suburbs, Klinger achieved national success with songs like Hello Cruel World and Ben Lee dominating the airwaves and landing in JJJ’s Hottest 100 (twice!). They supported the likes of Green Day, […]
Read moreWhile punk relics like Cockney Rejects and The Exploited tour the globe before old-age takes them, few bands remain to carry the torch and fewer still with young blood and fresh eyes.
