ALBUM REVIEW: GIRLI - MATRIARCHY
Girli bursts into the music scene with her vibrant pink hair and fierce attitude to grace everyone’s ears with the most exciting and heart-wrenching album ever. Here are 4 songs from the album that struck a chord to me the most.
LIVE REVIEW: TEEN JESUS AND THE JEAN TEASERS + BEC STEVENS + ROYEL OTIS @ CORNER HOTEL
It was the first Friday night of September and footy finals fever was in the air, yet my mind remained on other things. I was seeing a band who would prove to be worthy adolescent reincarnations of the messiah, who were also partial to some flirting in denim. Enter, Teen Jesus and The Jean Teasers.
LIVE REVIEW: TOWNS + THE DEBBIES WITH HALLIE @ THE WORKERS CLUB 13/5/22
It was the battle of the decades in the Workers band room on the night of Friday the 13th. Jervis Bay charmers Debbies fused their Skeggs-reminiscent-surf-punk with looking like they’d just strolled off the set of Puberty Blues, whilst front-woman Hallie appeared like a late 90s fever dream sporting Gwen Stefani No Doubt era vibes, and finally, the cheeky Adelaide duo TOWNS stayed true to blink-182 influences in baggy trousers and flannies and performed a phenomenal cover of Smashmouth’s ‘Allstar’.
ALBUM REVIEW: CHASE ATLANTIC - BEAUTY IN DEATH
Not my usual review- you know me, I like the acoustic-y, lullaby type of music that puts my heart into a state. These Cairns boys, however, are killing it right now! The album BEAUTY IN DEATH is out now so if you haven’t yet, get yourselves ready!
LIVE REVIEW: THE LIVING END & BAKERS EDDY AT THE FORUM 27/01/2021
QR codes and masks were not a feature at my last Forum gig, but they were firmly ingrained in the standard routine as the crowds began to line up on a warm January Wednesday. After sitting empty for months, it was the injection of humans needed to bring music back to live (pun intended).
