IN REVIEW // Top 10 Albums of 2018

The older I get, the weirder my musical preferences become. It’s hard to track the reasoning behind the subtle shifts and occasionally seismic jumps, however, this year represents perhaps my most diverse collection of favourite records to date. Snarling punk and space-faring alt-hardcore jostling for the ‘post-whatever’ genre title? Sure. British djent-pop-rock hybridity versus Boston…

IN REVIEW // Top 10 EPs of 2017

Here are my picks for the Top 10 EPs of 2017: Advent – ‘Pain & Suffering’ “This EP proves that Advent is most definitely back in the game: pissed-off, angry, and as destructive as ever. It’s also safe to say that ‘Pain & Suffering’ does not re-invent the wheel for metallic hardcore, but realistically, it…

IN REVIEW // Top 10 Australian Albums of 2017

Here’s the state of our fair nation in 2017: The Manus Island ‘solution’ is still a complete, shameful fucking mess. Our elected representatives apparently forgot who birthed them, and where.

IN REVIEW // Top 10 Australian Albums of 2016

Another year and another seemingly backwards step for our fair nation. Pauline Hanson rose from political career death and proved that “I don’t like it” has even more painful resonance in this century than the last one. You guys do know that she went to prison, right? I guess Orange Is The New Orange… Oh,…

IN REVIEW // Top 10 Albums of 2016

Ah, 2016. Or as it shall henceforth be known: ‘The Year of the Clusterfuck‘. Zika, Trump, ISIS, the ongoing migrant crisis, rampant global warming – the list goes on. Even the Grim Reaper was rushed off his bones, snatching Bowie, Prince and Lemmy, with ruthless efficiency in the same god-damn year. And as we march irrevocably…

2015 IN REVIEW // Top 10 International Albums

The end of 2015 fast approaches and with nary a hoverboard in sight. Despite this initial disappointment and the outpouring of misplaced, first-world Internet grief, this year still managed to see the human race do what we do best: political in-fighting, thoughtless genocide and the gross environmental neglect of our planet. On the upside, we did get to see…
