  • The Kremlings – Whole Earth Cleansing

    Manic, frantic, rough-as-guts punk. That’s exactly what you get with the latest offering from Geelong sludge-punks The Kremlings. Their debut album ‘Whole Earth Cleansing’ grabs listeners by the throat from the opening chords of the first track, Sniff The Hide. The shrieking vocals...

    The Amity Affliction have once again shown why their fans tattoo their lyrics on them, wait in the rain for hours to meet them for 20 seconds, and why they spend ridiculous amounts of money on their merchandise that...

  • Voyager – V

    With a strong pop sensibility at its core, the spine of this record is one of both innovation, excellent lyricism, and pushing-the-envelope. Ever the popular method these days among bands for makings records, Voyager’s fifth outing, V, is the...

  • Copia – Eleven : Eleven

    Concluding the second part of my 2-for-1 metal night is Copia. It is bands like Copia that should make fans of alternative hard rock/progressive metal feel proud to be Australian. The production level on the band’s debut full length...

  • Hybrid Nightmares – Hybrid Nightmares

    I’m not going to try and fly under the radar with this one. I’m going to be frank in saying that these next two albums are old; in the sense at least that they were both released prior to...
