The Iron Eye Knock Me For A Six With Conscience Cleaner
In an age where rock needs to try and to find its feet again, and bands are experimenting with different genres and sounds, Brisbane band The Iron Eye have done what’s worked in the past: made some fucking rock music. The Iron’s Eye’s latest track Conscience Cleaner is released today and not only clears your […]
MoreHe Danced Ivy Aggressively Tickle My Fancy on Guillotines
I’m at a crossroads with my music. I have had nothing to listen to. I’ve been clutching at straws, throwing the proverbial Maccas pickle at the window to see what sticks; listening to whatever comes my way (J-Pop lately) in hope that I have a new sound to dive into. I’ve needed something new to […]
MoreAFTER THE HYPE — Courtney Barnett’s Tell Me How You Really Feel
And now back to our regularly scheduled presentation on Radio Friendly. APPLAUSE, MUSIC I’ve found that you’re either a fan of Courtney Barnett, or you can’t stand her. There’s no middle ground. You either enjoy her over-extenuated Aussie drawl, or you don’t. You either enjoy the spoken word melodies, or you want a bit more […]
MoreAn Introduction to AUSSIE ROOTS
This is one of those genres I’ve had a thing for ever since I was a kid. And I didn’t even realise. I started listening to The John Butler Trio again the other day, and I remembered a time where all I listened to were Roots artists and albums that began to define my teenage […]
MoreAn Introduction To AUSSIE PROG ROCK
I’ve always had a thing for prog rock, from the first time I heard Cog on a Triple J Hottest 100 CD back in 2005 with My Enemy. It’s been a genre I’ve been passionate about for years, and a genre that deserves more attention in Australia, particularly because we have such incredible prog-rock acts. […]
MoreThese Are My Thoughts on the New Brockhampton Track, 1999 Wildfire
It’s been just over six months since we officially heard anything from the internet’s favourite boyband, Brockhampton, but we’ve seen their name in headlines across social media for more unpleasant reasons than a new dancey hip-hop tune. The band was set to release their latest album at the beginning of June, but after sexual assault […]
MoreAFTER THE HYPE CLASSICS — Nirvana’s Nevermind
And now back to our regularly scheduled presentation on Radio Friendly. APPLAUSE, MUSIC When I was younger I had a real infatuation with Nirvana. I’d play their music on the guitar, they were the first ‘heavy’ band I actually liked. While everyone was off pretending they liked early Bring Me the Horizon, I was listening […]
MoreTop 10 Albums of 2018. So Far
It’s now over half way through the year so I thought I’d sit down and think about the Top 10 Albums of 2018 So Far. Whadda you reckon?
MoreThe Regurgitation Approach of Like A Version
Every Friday I see Australian youth-radio-superstars, Triple J, post the latest Like A Version on their Facebook. The funny, play on word segment, ripping from Madonna’s hit single, has been a staple to an angsty hipster’s Friday morning like a cup of fresh batch brew espresso with their smashed avo on rye. I used to […]
