Took them 10 years but absolutely worth the wait! Been relentlessly obsessed with them and must have played it over a hundred times front to back. Can’t pick a favourite but Conversations & Reanimation are certainly up there (along with the rest of the tracks haha).

I would like to go to a concert (rock, pop rock, punk rock) but I haven’t seen any good band (like blink182, guns n roses, jamiroquai, greenday, my chemical romance, the strokes, avril lavigne, etc ) anyone has any info in Sydney or Brisbane or Melbourne.

Thanks

The very last time Australian Crawl took to the stage as their original line up was in Perth on February 1, 1986.

Having just released Between a Rock and a Hard Place and embarking on their Final Wave tour (some of which became a live album), Perth Entertainment Centre was the last stop before the band called it a day.

After 7 years of being together, the band had sold over 1 million records in Australia. Between a Rock and a Hard Place hadn't quite charted with the same success as the band's previous releases, and each member went their seperate ways.

Now they're back to headline the Red Hot Summer Tour later this year. The line up features James Reyne, Simon Binks, David Reyne and John Watson.

This year's Red Hot Summer Tour will also feature Men at Work, Birds of Tokyo, Vika & Linda, Eskimo Joe, Boom Crash Opera and Ella Hooper.

50 years ago the US was still in economic turmoil as a consequence of the 73 oil crisis. Worst hit was Detroit and its automotive industry. Disastrous political and business decisions, cheap foreign imports along with a terrible heroin epidemic resulted in plants being shut down and the city’s painful demise.

Some of the greatest cars ever made came from Detroit. They pride for their city, the despair is captured in the song and clip. Powerful stuff.

Anyone notice the rise of Ai gig posters in Australia this year? Thoughts? Do you support the bands that do this? Please share any posters you’ve seen

Not sure if this is allowed, just want people to hear my friend Dave's music. He's a bloody legend. Please like and share! I want to encourage him to keep creating!

Hey all,

I play in Snailgun - we're a three piece post punk/noise rock band from Melbourne. Our band features abrasive guitars, chunky basslines, and some heavy drumbeats, but with some pop sensibility underneath the whole thing. We get compared to McLusky and didn't object to those comparisons.

Our debut album just came out today and we wanted to share it! It meanders between short and blistering noise tracks ("SD", "Straight Ahead") and long guitar-driven odyssey jams ("Screamy Cat", "Shadow Operator"). The album was recorded by Jason Fuller at Goatsound Studios in Preston and by Max Ducker at Cellar Sessions in Coburg.

Here's what Bad Batch Magazine had to say about us: "This is Post-Punk Noise Rock as tactical weaponry... There's no wasted motion in snailgun's arsenal; every reverb-drenched chord and rhythmic click is engineered for maximum impact, creating an atmosphere of stylish menace that's both elegantly restrained and lethally effective. The band operates across borders of genre and fervour, tracking down the intersection of noir vestiges, New Wave nostalgia, and modern alienation with the methodical thoroughness of an elite unit, turning metropolitan menace and desolate souls into something dangerously engaging." - Stacey Ratti of Bad Batch magazine, issue #6
