Drastic Park’s brand new release, Imposter Syndrome, was born entirely out of the current pandemic. Using this time to explore the production side of music, the Melbourne-based trio were able to record, mix, and master their EP from their homes, in isolation. They explore the idea of dual-perspectives, something that has been seen a lot during lockdown.

Adelaide’s Paradise Club are redefining punk genres in Australia as we know it with their debut self-titled album (released via their new home at Farmer & The Owl), Paradise Club. It’s been three-and-a-half years in the making, with the band recording the album in Melbourne’s picturesque Dandenong Ranges.

From start to finish, the brilliantly written & mixed tracks build perfectly throughout the EP, gradually introducing more and more nods to heavy influences as it plays through. Personally, I just really love the whole record. I struggled writing this up because I just wanted to listen and listen and listen, and that was it.

I legitimately hit my head on the wall behind me when bopping back and forth to the intense and emotional tunes - so yeah, it’s a literal banger.

Halfway through their regional Australian All My Friends Are Dead tour, The Amity Affliction turns The Torquay Hotel on its head with supports from Ocean Grove, Anatagonist A.D and Rumors. Gabby made her way there on the night to check it all out!
