LISTEN: Warchief – ‘Desert Deer’

, , No Comment

It wouldn’t be possible to plug this Warchief demo without mentioning how lovely the band look in this Peter Cagnacci picture. A good band photo helps… so does sounding like a couple of folk angels exuding charm and singing heart achingly beautiful harmonies. Yeah, keep an eye on these Sydney darlings playing this Saturday on the Little Napier single launch at the Oxford Art Factory with Rockets and it’s free. Boom!

LISTEN: Blackmilk – ‘In Lak’ech’

, , No Comment

I played this title track ‘In Lak’ech’ over and over after the first listen cause be damned if it didn’t hit me right in the solo plexus! Blackmilk released their single ‘Rattle The Cage’ earlier this year and we can now confirm the debut LP is due on Oct 19. Like the Cage, this track has pretty awesome period drumming and big deep guitar riffs that’ll clear the smoke from the room. Get on down to The Rosemount Hotel in Perth on Friday October 19th for the launch. ‘In Lak’ech’ is out on Fat Shan Music/MGM.

LISTEN: Elizabeth Rose -‘Again’ (F. Sinden)

, , No Comment

Alex Watts had been championing Elizabeth Rose a while back and this is her second single ‘Again’. It’s immediately captivating with gasping pants, erratic synth, beats and hyped urgency. Plenty of spunk and she is gorgeous. Oh how easy this will be to sell. And sell we shall. Tonight at BigSound and then a string of dates winding up at the Workers in Melbourne which I reckon will be packed! Get on it.

LISTEN: Red Aces – ‘The End’

, , No Comment

Red Aces are four brothers from Coburg, Victoria. I reckon they should marry four sisters and live on a farm. Pretty fiery track from the suburbs of Melbourne. It’s a straight-forward Australian ‘Blueline Medic’ sound with a wall of guitar noise and plenty of grunt. Defs want to see these boys play at the Workers Club on the 21 Sept with Iowa and Lost Weekend. Good times.
