Big Day Out 2011: First Announcement
Dream Team Since my mum would let me I’ve been going to Big Day Out. Year after year I’d be late to form class at school because I was too busy jumping up and down listening to the announcements live on 95bFM. 2001 marked my first year of attendance; with the previous year regrettably a […]

Nodzzz
What’s with today, today? All sparkly, bright tones and clear, undistorted guitars with harmonising vocals, Nodzzz portray all the urgency of punk with a more easy going, quirky nature. Latest single ‘True To Life’ is more jangly and innocent than their much loved single ‘I Don’t Wanna (Smoke Marijuana)’, putting so much adorable sunniness and […]

The Pink Noise
Making phantom creeps sigh The Pink Noise’s sound is inhabited by a swarm of ill-feeling mega drone guitar and shitty drum machine, topped with warped vocals. Distortion reigns king, and Mark (guitar, electronics and vocals), Shub (bass and synth) and Brett (drums)’s sound is definitely one of the scuzziest around. But the friends of fellow […]

AIDS Wolf interview
Artists In Residence It’s loud, obnoxious and a disease to some people’s ears, but it’s also artistic, melodic and highly structured. I asked Chloe Lum to explain her attraction to noise rock; about being the ultimate teenage fangirl and about AIDS Wolf‘s latest decision to tour their new album and not play a single song […]
