The Hollow // Memphis May Fire
I tend to be a little nervous, and at times harsh, when it comes to post-hardcore bands. Each time I check out a new combo, I prepare myself for little difference between the one at hand, and the previous band I listened to. It’s hard to find a unique band that blatantly stands out in the scene at the moment, apart from the ridiculously bad ones. Thankfully, with their latest effort The...

Something Left Behind // Transit
To me, Transit and their fans are very much a tight-knit, welcoming and ever growing family. With each release the family expands but the feeling that this band is your ‘best kept secret’ doesn’t diminish in the slightest. Yet again, the Boston natives have added another solid release to the list for their legions of devoted and enthusiastic fans, only this time around...

Sounds Loud 2011
Back again in 2011 was the free, all ages Sounds Loud Festival, which concluded National Youth Week. This year’s line-up was a departure from the heavier, more “emo” line-up of recent years and saw an influx of indie bands and use of synthesisers. It started as a beautiful sunny and warm day in Melbourne, which helped to draw a lot of the locals to head down to Queens Park to see what all the...

The Tunnel // Ghost Heart
Ghost Heart’s The Tunnel has drawn comparisons to Vampire Weekend and Animal Collective, but a listen to the album proves that the Michigan foursome have a sound uniquely their own. At the opening of the album is “Whoever You Are”, a minute-and-a-half long introduction that left me a bit disappointed – a nicely put together instrumental track, but lacking in much imagination. However,...

The Absolute Worst // Man Overboard
This 7” has left me frustrated. Why? Man Overboard is still to visit the shores of Australia. The 4 piece from New Jersey pour out releases, and after I give each one a listen, I look forward to the day I stand in a room of pop-punk enthusiasts to belt out lyrics and admire those who chuck a punk jump of great heights. The Absolute Worst had very much the same effect. These two tracks...

Sea to Sky // Carpenter
Est. 2005, Carpenter has risen from the remains of Vancouver bands All State Champion, By A Thread and Daggermouth. The four piece combine their own influences, and create a band which has that simply ‘classic’ feel, along with a DIY mentality, which are both evident in 2010’s Sea To Sky. This classic feel could be pin pointed to vocalist/guitarist Daniel Sioui’s...
