Against Me!: Crosses To Bear
02.09.2010Against Me! frontman Tom Gabel is the first to admit new album White Crosses is a long way from his humble solo beginnings as a Floridian teen troubadour, but that doesn’t mean he’s tossed away his agitprop credentials. Whereas his 2008 solo EP Heart Burns took the musician back to basics, a reunion with producer Butch Vig has resulted in an album with throwbacks to classic pop rock icons such as Cheap Trick.
Talk It up: Darwin Deez
01.09.2010Darwin Deez, real name Darwin Smith, will be out in Australia in a few weeks' time to dance up a storm onstage as part of the Parklife Festivals. We caught up with Darwin back in July to find out how things were flying with the American indie rocker to find out he feels much more at home in sunny London than he is in his homeland.
Big Day Out Rumour-palooza
24.08.2010It's coming to that time again when every man and his dog has their say on who will be making it out for the mother of all Aussie music festivals, the Big Day Out. With the Soundwave and Falls line-ups already out of the bag, it makes guessing the big acts for BDO a little bit easier. But it's still an open field and no doubt there'll be one or two surprises in there. Until then, let the speculation run riot!
Talk It Up: Wolf Gang
24.08.2010In another life Max McElligott might have been the CEO of a big law firm or the dean of an Ivy League college. A couple of years ago he was immersed in his studies at the London School of Economics until fate came knocking for this DIY solo artist. All of a sudden it was time to take his music career seriously and the Wolf Gang legend was born.
First Listen: Klaxons – Surfing The Void
19.08.2010Three years is a long time in music but it seems to have done little to diminish the popularity of London four-piece Klaxons. The nu-rave pioneers have had a lengthy break since 2007’s Myths Of The Near Future but now they’re finally back with follow-up Surfing The Void. Get our verdict on it before its release tomorrow.
