The Scare Single ‘Could Be Bad’
Friday, July 3 2009
Sydney's The Scare are nothing if not provocative. Album artwork featuring naked, female knights, live shows featuring wild gesticulations and stage antics and, now, recruiting Silverchair/Dissociatives frontman Daniel Johns to produce their new album. Can’t handle all this craziness?? Steady yourself, music lovers. The name of their new single? ‘Could Be Bad’. Either witty ... Read News
Cloher’s Hands Hidden No More
Friday, July 3 2009
Melbourne’s very own ‘soul-destroyer’ (according to Dom Alessio – this is a good thing, apparently) Jen Cloher is back with her second album, Hidden Hands.

Hiroshima Return Home With Damaged Goods
Wednesday, July 1 2009
Brisbane’s I Heart Hiroshima are clearly a band who noted Emperor Joseph II’s early piece of hateful elite indie music criticism : “Too many notes, Mozart”. They also follow his less well-known aphorisms “Singing in a trans-atlantic muddle is ok as long as you’re not Craig Nicholls” and “To get anywhere in Australia, record or mix with someone well-known”. To this end the b... Read News
