They’re poised to take over the Australian music scene with their song ‘Punks’, a timely reminder that joyous punk rock’s still alive and well in the sunshine state.

“Don’t spit in my alphabet soup”

Urbantramper
His name says it all, Lake aka Urbantramper is an environmentalist, a tree loving outdoors man who loves breathing in the fresh country air. This may or may not be the reason he’s relocating to the UK very soon. It’ll be like moving from a country of lush green pasture to a country underwater. But […]

Architecture In Helsinki
A gift came this Sunday evening. It’s a new album from Architecture In Helsinki called Places Like This. I have full confidence in saying this is the most anticipated album of 2007, at least in this part of the world and I can report that it’s brilliant.

Fulton Girls Club
I’m not sure why Grant Gronewold calls himself Fulton Girls Club, after all that’s my last name. His music is bizarre, many would say crap. Just Grant and his guitar playing and singing about nothing really at all. The opening line from his latest song ‘A Bird I Never Saw’ goes something like “I was […]

7 Day Weekend
