Vincent Furnier was an LA nobody. The son of a preacher, he was a wannabe, a guy in a go-nowhere band calling itself Alice Cooper. Vince had hung out with Jim Morrison and released two dud albums recorded by Frank Zappa. Other than that, he didn’t have all that much to boast about. Then he cracked it. His million-dollar […]
Melbourne duo GraceJean are on the cusp of releasing their debut album, and to give fans a taste they’ve delivered us a stunning tease of what to expect with ‘Turn Away’. It’s a gorgeous track with both members giving lush and extravagant harmonies over a Mumford & Sons-style melody, but it’s still an absolute party. […]
Many of us can link a certain album to pivotal moments in our lives. Whether it’s the first record you bought with your own money, the chord you first learnt to play on guitar, the song that soundtracked your first kiss, the album that got you those awkward and painful pubescent years or the one […]
Wollongong indie lads GOSH are about to unveil their new EP Frankenstein and we’ve got your exclusive first listen. Officially landing next Monday, 23rd September, the five-track disc features the foursome’s punchy anthem ‘Take Me Home’ and is brimming with heartfelt lyricism and indie-punk spirit. Recorded at The Grove Studios with Jack Nigro (Birds of […]
Beneath the Eyrie is the seventh Pixies album and the third to arrive during the band’s second phase as a relentless-touring, festival-headlining entity. Between 1988 and 1991, the Boston band released four records that are widely regarded as having changed the face of indie rock music. Accompanying each new Pixies album is a weight of […]
15 years ago, Arcade Fire made their opening statement with their debut album Funeral. Beginning with sprawling keys and melancholic orchestrals, they swooped in with the thundering crash of the album opener ‘Neighbourhood #1 (Tunnels)’. It was the beginning of a four-part epic that was housed in a ten-song project that established the band as critical […]
When Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots came out in 2002, The Flaming Lips bore the glow of seasoned pros, masters of neo-psychedelia. It’s true that the Oklahoma band, led by Wayne Coyne, had been plying their trade since the mid-1980s, but their elevation to alt-rock prestige really only occurred in the wake of 1999’s The […]
The Nothing, Korn’s 13th studio album, is one of the most despairing and nihilistic records in the California band’s back catalogue, but it’s not the heaviest piece of work they’ve produced. 2016’s The Serenity of Suffering was a conscious attempt from the nu-metal pioneers to create something exhaustively heavy and hair-raising. The Nothing isn’t worlds […]
Charli XCX in 2019 is inescapable. Being an absolute force in pop music and all its dimensions, she has been grinding away at her craft relentlessly for the five years following her 2014 album Sucker. With the release of her career-changing Vroom Vroom EP in 2016, she demonstrated just how fearless she was in regards to changing […]
