Come Saturday, I’ll be up at Erina to grab my copy of Black Ice. Sure, I know what I am in for but I am excited. And to get y’all excited, here is my track by track review. Rock’n'Roll Train This song has been kicking around for a few months now. A great opening track that reassembles [...]

For some reason, when an Australian artist lacks inspiration or sufficient incoming revenue (I don’t need to name the guilty parties do I?) they release an album of soul covers. In a remarkably perceptive review of Eli ‘Paperboy’ Reed and the True Loves CD Roll With You, Bernard Zuel wrote: … R&B, it comes down to sex. [...]

Track by track Southern Highlands Daughter A song of regret. Lovely fingerpicking. A lilting track that will last a long time in the live set. Copper Mine A good example of Jeff’s ability to get into someone’s worldview and create a story. The industrial percussion adds to the feel of working in a copper mine. The Savannah Way Jeff can do [...]

Once night, watching Rockwiz there was this: It was one of those “Who the hell is this? I must hear more.” I couldn’t find more until recently as the artist in question, Abbe May just released her first album titled Howl and Moan. And a fine debut it is.

AbattoirBlues/Lyre of Orpheus was is the most exhilarating and rewarding album released by Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds. Because of that it would be a hard one to follow up. Not that Nick and the Seeds were in any hurry. To fill the gap, Grinderman was released that allowed Nick to give reign [...]

Joy of joys, my eMu account ticked over and a download I went. For some reason, the downloaded albums revolved around a theme. You work it out. First there was Melbourne band Damnzal with a self titled album of great melodic metal. Then CJ Sleez with Back from the Brink. Another treasure trove of full tilt [...]

A few weeks ago, Adam Spencer spun an awesome 1950’s rock’n'roll tune called Wiggle Tail by Googie Rene. The track came from Rarities from the Bob Hite Vault. Bob Hite was a member of Canned Heat and apparently had an incredible collection of of 78s. I found the rarities collection on eMusic and promptly added [...]

For many artists, the quest each new album is to explore new musical terrains. To expand their sonic palette and not get stuck into rut with an identifiable sound and style. On the other hand you have a bands like The Donnas that realize their strengths lie in what they have always done and [...]

Back in the early 90s commonly I associated with a bunch of ne’er do wells, scoundrels, scalliwags and other people generally on the run. Yes, I was running with the ex-pat English teaching crowd in Japan. And a fine mob they were too down south in Kokura. There was a tendency towards very long nights [...]

It is no secret that Aussie lads Airbourne take their musical queues from classic Oz pub rawk trinity of Rose Tattoo, The Angels and AC/DC. Thrown in a dash of Priest and Maiden and you pretty much have their sound. And there is nothing wrong with that. It is a mighty template for rock [...]
