The E.L.F – ‘Cockroaches’ (mp3)
This is Darren from Gerling’s new project and according to other Australian blogs I’m way late on this. So it sorta reminds me of the Dust Me Selecta era Gerling that I was first introduced to. I’m not sure if they’re going that direction again or going away from it cos this project seems to be pretty dancey. This song isn’t bad.
Livecast have been recording some of Australia’s best bands live, and lucky for us we get to see their work up on YouTube. This clip was recorded live at last year’s Come Together Festival (a big two day rock & metal fest) and it’s Karnivool performing the title track from their album Themata.

Usually we leave videos to the weekend when we’re too lazy to post, but this is rad.
Vanden – ‘This Time’
Don’t be fooled – there’s a lot more work behind Vanden that one might suspect on first glance. Originally, this Melbourne 5-piece started life as down.to.size but after member and direction changes, a new moniker surfaced.
They released their debut EP towards the end of last year entitled Victims which was produced by the super-cool Forrester Savell, who seems to have the Midas touch when it comes to working with rock bands lately (Karnivool? Dead Letter Circus? Yeah…) There’s definitely a bit of Glassjaw influence in Vanden (if the dude in the red shirt didn’t give it away already), and Victims an EP which is hook-laden from start to finish. Having never seen these guys live, I can only guess that their live show would be one ferocious rock onslaught. They’re doing a run of shows in May, so if you’re in Victoria, get along and tell me what they’re like. I hear there’s guitar acrobatics too, and probably amps turned up to 11.
Anyway, ‘This Time’ is a pretty killer track, my fave off their EP, so enjoy rock-nerds.
Dappled Cities – ‘Fire Fire Fire’ (Death From Above remix) (mp3)
You guessed it, the boys have been remixed by New York Based Death from Above label crew. Only a matter of time before they score some high profile remix I suppose.
