LUCA BRASI // ‘Loose Threads’ Review

“Luca Brasi distil their essence as a formidable Aussie punk rock act, and provide a collection of tracks that could comfortably find homes in sweaty basement shows, or quiet backyard drinking sessions.” Having long been one of Australia’s best kept secrets, and often playing second fiddle to the hype machine that is The Smith Street…

FJØRT // ‘Kontakt’ Review

“On the whole, what Fjørt have crafted on Kontakt is a record that is as angry as it is affectionate, successfully pairing shimmers of emotion with hardcore outbursts.” One of the more interesting aspects about alternative music, whether it be punk, hardcore, metal, (choose your own flavour) etc., is how it’s varying moods and dynamics…

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.
