The Getaway Plan @ The Hi-Fi Melbourne 19/2/11
CLICK HERE FOR PHOTOS FROM THE U18 SHOW!
After all the crypticness and secrecy (countdowns to announcements, misleading video updates etc.) regarding the band’s future which diminished a few years back, The Getaway Plan is back, maybe not better than ever but the Melbourne four piece still manage to put on a tight set. I was lucky enough to attend both Melbourne shows of the ...

The Way Back
The way back is inspired by the true story of a group of prisoners in a Siberian jail, who first escape their prison of guns and barbed wire, and then escape from their true prison; the harsh and unforgiving wasteland that surrounds them.

Self-Titled // Joyce Manor
Joyce Manor’s self titled LP took me by surprise. I had no initial expectations as I’d never listened to the band before sitting down to review it, however my shock is due to the fact that I enjoy it so much. On first listen to the pop punk/rock quartet’s full debut on 6131 records, (known for their hardcore signed acts) I was confronted with messy, yet perfectly catchy...

Meloy’s infamous song lyrics have always had an awry sense of vocabulary to them and this album is no different. The King is Dead was released in early January and has since been raved about in music magazines everywhere. So far,...

The Appendage EP // Circa Survive
What I’ve loved about Circa Survive since the beginning of their incredible musical journey is that they continue to progress and change their sound without changing what makes them unique. But when Blue Sky Noise came out I was thinking that maybe they had changed a bit too much. Time will understandably influence any band’s sound. It took time, but Blue Sky Noise grew on me and...
