What's News - There's money to be made inthis rock music

March 7th 2010 01:25
Daddy Was Wrong When He Said “You Can’t Make A Living Off Music!”

Ever wondered how much your favourite band or current pop starlet is actually earning? Well Billboard in the US has just released what it has worked out to be the top 40 earners in music for 2009. The list (in US dollars) is calculated through sales of albums, songs, concert tickets and merchandise after expenses

Jimmy Eat World - bleed american

March 5th 2010 21:41
Four guys with an amazing ability to melody, harmony and power all in the space of a four minute song. The great thing about their sound is that it all blends together so naturally it’s of little wonder that Jimmy Eat World has become such a fan favourite. Jim Adkins has a great melodic vocal and is backed by three guys who share his ear for a catchy, mature punk rock song.

Kicking off with the punchy ‘Bleed American’ before settling into some solid punk rock songs in the likes of ‘A Praise Chorus’, ‘Sweetness’ and the infectious ‘The Middle’. The band explore a greater depth in sound with the acoustic ‘Your House’ and the beautiful ‘May Angels Lead You In’, a modern punk rock ballad that really represents true “emo” sound without the whiny screams and eyeliner

Mumford & Sons - sigh no more

March 4th 2010 06:22
English folk music. A term that may bewilder most people. Surely it’s a contradiction? If someone had said to me 12 months ago that one of the biggest indie acts to come out of the UK were a folk band I would’ve brushed it away as a joke. And yet, here I am currently listening to and absolutely loving Mumford & Sons “Sigh No More”. A indie filled folk album with a hell of a lot of soul and passion....and banjos. Lots of cool banjos!!!

12 beautifully crafted tracks that make up this album and the ease in which you can listen to this record, you will hardly know when in 40 minutes, the last track fades and it’s over. The songs tell tales of love, realizations, hope and loss. The music creates a mood and takes you on a journey through every track. Whether it be the building crescendo of ‘The Cave’. The ebb and flow of ‘Roll Away Your Stone’, or the melancholy rawness of ‘Blank White Page’. The songs require you to stop and really listen to them

What's News- De-volution returns!

March 2nd 2010 23:42
Devo perform brand new song

One hit wonders or the most underrated act in history, Devo have been synonymous with quirky pop, post punk, art kitsch music longer than you or have been born (probably!) . In 1990 they released their last album ‘Smooth Noodle Maps’, but now after popping up here and there for live shows, the men in red (now blue) “Energy Dome” hats have unveiled the first cut from their brand new album tentatively titled “Fresh

Skipping Girl Vinegar @ Excelsior Hotel 18/02/10

February 24th 2010 06:45
Celebrating the launch of their new single "One Long Week" , Skipping Girl Vinegar decided to take on a massive East Coast tour. Stopping in on Sydney twice, tonight was the second of their Sydney shows. Tonight's crowd was small, which made the environment feel like we were watching friends play at a house party. And it was clear that we were just about the only people in the city who didn't go to AC/DC!!

Joined on stage once again by the lovely Kel on violin, the Melbourne four piece serenaded us with the songs we love from their the debut album "Sift The Noise" with a good taste of what is to come when the new album lands in the coming months. The new songs still carry that breezy feel, if not touching on the darker side while maintaining the essence that is Skipping Girl Vinegar songs. Mark was in a chatty mood telling us about his love affair with 2nd hand junk, swimming fully clothed in Noosa and trying to encourage the crowd to do Accadacca style fist pumps during the final song 'Sift The Noise'. Once again, Amanthi baked up a storm. This time chocolate fudge, which was delicious. Again how can you not love a band that bakes for their audience

What's News- White Stripes vs The US air force?

February 23rd 2010 06:18
The White Stripes vs The US Air Force

The superbowl in America is the biggest television event in the world. Advertisers pay multi millions to get a 30 second spot on during the coverage of the game. The US Air Force Reserves were able to score a spot of advertising during the New Orleans/Indiannapolis game. Whoever, they didn’t count on one Mr Jack White of The White Stripes (and many other bands) watching. It seems Jack didn’t take to the US Air Force ripping off one his songs in the commercial

Soundwave @ Eastern Creek 21/2/10

February 22nd 2010 03:39
Some were up at the crack of dawn, some hadn’t slept from the night before. As we piled out of the endless procession of buses. A wave of black t shirts, long hair, piercings and tattoos descended upon Eastern Creek raceway. It was our christmas day. Our holiest event on the calendar. It was Soundwave.

First to kick things off was local act Heroes For Hire who managed to attract a decent audience for 11:30 in the morning. And with good reason, they were good. Pop punk at it’s best that got the feet moving and set the day up nicely. And they did nice job covering the worlds most annoying song ‘Teenage Dirtbag’ by Wheatus
